I hope you have had a wonderful weekend and were able to enjoy the sun! It's crazy to think we are at the end of May already and only have 3 weeks left of school! We have some exciting events coming up and lots to still accomplish in the last few weeks of school!

Here is what's coming up: 

We are in week 3 for state testing. Students worked so hard during math last week. This week we will be finishing testing in math and 5th grade will move on to science testing. As a reminder, please make sure your children go to bed at a good time and eat a filling breakfast to get their brains moving! Encourage your children to not rush, and remember that these tests are for us as educators to know our areas of strength and those we need to continue to grow in. We will provide snacks and gum/mints for them to enjoy while testing!  

We will have our End of Year Field Day on June 13th. We are looking for volunteers to help run stations. If you are interested and an approved volunteer, please reach out to our volunteer coordinator, Loretta Gaul at sgsvolunteerloretta2023@gmail.com to sign up. 

It's that time of year again... Please pick up any medication you may have brought in for your student during the school year. The last day of school is June 13th so any medication left here will be disposed of as they cannot be kept at the school over summer break. Please note that students are not permitted to take medications home with them. 

Interested in hearing what is coming up at Sandy Grade? Join our site council to help plan events, such as Jog-a-thon, Field Day, etc.! Our last virtual site council meeting will be 5/29 from 4:30-5:30. If interested, comment below and we will add you to the invite. 

Our virtue for May is Leadership!  We will be on the lookout for students who are showing leadership in the classroom, in the cafeteria, hallways and at recess!

Have a wonderful week!

Thank you,

Cassiday Hopkins
