Friday, March 27 is Parent Teacher Conferences, formerly called PIT (Parents in Touch) Day. This is an asynchronous day of learning for students.
The district's Spring Student Progress Conferences is a wonderful opportunity to discuss your child's progress, celebrate their successes, and set goals for the next school year. We look forward to connecting with each of you to share how your child is growing both academically and socially. Reach out to your child's teacher to set up a time to connect with them. Unified Arts teachers will also be available to speak with families.
Students will be expected to complete all work assigned by their teachers during this asynchronous learning day. Reach out to your child's teacher with any questions or concerns.
This week, we proudly recognize Social Worker Week, at time to honor the dedication, compassion, and impact of our school social worker, Mr. Newlin. Mr. Newlin plays a vital role in supporting students' academic success, emotional well-being, and social development. We cannot thank him enough for all he does!
Sing Me a Song Visit by the Indianapolis Opera!
The Indianapolis opera will once again visit Sidener on Wednesday, March 25th at 1:30pm in the gym! Their Sing Me a Story series is a 45-minute children's mini-opera that comprises of 4 singers and 1 pianist. This will not impact the first and second grade schedule as it will be during their normal UA time. There will be an option for a short Q&A following the performance.
This year's opera is entitled Camilla Paints the Town, which tells the story of Camilla the Chameleon who has only ever known a world of black and white. But one day, she discovers her colors and begins to see the world with a newfound wonder. She excitedly brings a little color to the lives of everyone she meets, who each finds the colorful way she sees things to be both intriguing and perhaps a little scary. In the end, we'll see if Camilla's new friends can see the beauty in a fresh perspective! Read more here.
