SIGSBEE SCOOP

The first week of school was fantastic! We were impressed with the students' behavior, attitudes, and excitement for learning. There has never been a smoother start. Early indicators are that we are going to have a fantastic year.

Please remember to reinforce our three school rules at home, using the same language:

Be Safe.

Be Kind.

Be Responsible.

Pace yourselves for our first full week by implementing a bedtime routine: bath, books, bed. Remember, children need 10-12 hours of sleep each night. We also highly recommend that you take all electronics out of their rooms each night - trust us on this one.

This is the first week for K-5 enrichment classes and our first early-out Wednesday. Elementary (k-5) students who are not staying for enrichment will be dismissed at NOON. Enrichment students and middle school students will be dismissed at 2:00 PM. It is regularly (3 PM) dismissal on all other days.

The PTO is also hosting its first meeting of the year - see below for details. We need your help!

Our Parent-Teacher-Organization (PTO) assists in creating special events and fundraisers for Sigsbee Charter School. These exciting opportunities cannot happen without your help. All Sigsbee families are members of the PTO. Attending PTO meetings and volunteering at events will count toward volunteer hours.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture did not extend the program to provide free school meals to all students for the 2022-2023 school year. However, we want to be sure that ALL students are eating. Please encourage your child to join the breakfast and/or lunch line if they need food. At Sigsbee, NO ONE should go home hungry.

Back-To-School Night is designed for parents/guardians to sit down with their children's teachers and learn the classroom expectations, curriculum, and plans for the year. Students need not attend. Two sessions will repeat so you can attend presentations for more than one child. Teachers will post their slideshows on their websites for those who cannot participate or for families with many children.

We understand young children cannot stay home alone, so there will be childcare for school-aged children in the portable classrooms.

Presentation times are:

5:30 - 6:10 PM & 6:20 - 7:00 PM

Parents will sign in in the classrooms.

If you are bringing students to child care, please leave a few minutes to sign them in. Presentations will start and end promptly.

VOLUNTEER HOURS WILL BE GIVEN TO ALL FAMILIES WHO ATTEND (2 hours/family)
