Students must wear tennis shoes and sneakers with shoelaces or Velcro in order to participate in PE. Tennis shoes and sneakers without laces or Velcro do not provide enough support during some activities. For your child's safety, students who do not wear the proper shoes will sit out during PE class resulting in points being taken off for participation and possibly effecting the overall Physical Education grade.

__Fossil Pit __ No doubt that some of you have heard your children talking about fossils, shells and shark teeth! Sanford Creek PTA has acquired a learning "fossil pit" that children can play in when they go out to recess. The material will last a LONG TIME, so children may keep what they find. Check those pockets before you put those pants in the wash! I provide bags for the fossils children find. To find out more about our fossil pit, click on the file below!



__ Reminders __ -Names on homework! -Keep communication log inside of daily folder. - __Talk to your children about the Golden Rule! Treat others the way you, yourself, would like to be treated! =)__ -Grades on homework go towards "work habits" grade and is also taken into consideration when grading spelling tests.

If recess is after lunch, parents __are not__ permitted to accompany their child to recess. It is an extreme liability for teachers to monitor students while on the playground. We wish to ensure the highest level of safety and security for the students in such a large area by only allowing students on the playground during recess.
 * From Dr. Council: **
 * Lunch and Recess - **We welcome parents to eat lunch with their child during their lunch period and we encourage you to sit at the reserved table to enjoy your time together. Once lunch is over, we ask parents and students to say good-bye at the cafeteria doors so students can continue with their scheduled day.


 * Volunteers ** - We need and encourage parents' and community volunteers to help and participate in the school. We appreciate the valuable role parents and volunteers have in the success of each school. Please check with the teachers for specific times when special projects or instructional situations could benefit from your help. Teachers would like to construct schedules (dates and times) when they can count on parent participation.
 * //Please! //****__Parents should not bring younger siblings to school when volunteering or tutoring among our students within the school environment...younger siblings and students are not permitted in the teacher's lounge and workroom areas. __** The younger siblings require supervision and may cause distractions to regular classroom procedures. We ask parents to devote their time to assisting the teacher or the individual students they are tutoring.

SCES Dress Code Reminder

**__ Instructional Time Policy: __** We prioritize and value instructional time and need every minute to provide students quality instruction. For that reason, we ask that you ensure your child arrives at school on time and that you not check a student out early unless it is an emergency or for a scheduled appointment. **__Our office staff will not check students out between__** **__ 3:20-3:45 __**, as teachers will be completing important end of the day closing activities. We ask that you respect this policy, as it is to ensure we are maximizing instructional time for the benefit of your child. No Checkout or Pick up from Carpool Lobby � For the safety of our students� and due to the large number of students gathered in the lobby for carpool there will be no check-out and pick-up of carpool students from our lobby. It can become chaotic while calling carpool numbers so to ensure the safety of our students being picked up by the correct parent/guardians, we must enforce this policy. Parents must go through our carpool line for pick-up. If you do not have a carpool number, we will call the students name. __ Important dates: __ July 7 - 11 -Tracks 1,2,3 K students are assigned one day of assessments then all Tracks 1,2,3 K students return fulltime on July 14. || First Day of School || 6:00 - Open House/Curriculum Night || First day of School 9:30 Identa-kids Pictures for Tracks 1 and 2 ||
