Good Afternoon,

The main goal of the Susquenita Athletics Department is to keep our players, coaches, staff, and spectators safe at all times. It is extremely important that our Elementary and Middle School students are supervised. In order to attend any home games at Susquenita, all Middle School and Elementary School students must be accompanied by their guardian.

We will not allow any unsupervised Elementary or Middle school students into any athletic events at Susquenita. We do this to protect all of our community and to assure our fans enjoy our games.

If you have any questions, concerns regarding this matter- please feel free to contact our District Athletic Director, Scott Markowitz.

We appreciate your cooperation and look forward to seeing you at our future home games!

Respectfully,

The Susquenita Athletic Department

As we begin the new school year, I want to remind parents and guardians about the importance of reviewing your child’s weekly classroom newsletter.

Each week, our teachers will share important information about what students are learning, upcoming assignments and activities, important dates, and ways you can support your child’s learning at home. These newsletters are a great way to stay connected to your child’s classroom and understand what is happening throughout the school week.

I encourage you to take a few minutes each week to review your child’s newsletter. Your partnership and involvement make a tremendous difference in your child’s success, and these weekly communications provide an excellent opportunity for you to know how you can best support your child at home.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support of our students and teachers. Together, we can make this a fantastic school year for every Blackhawk!

Parents/ Guardians,

-When a student is absent, please provide a note to the office within 3 school days.

-Email: sesattendance@susquenita.org

-4 unexcused absences will result in a SAIP meeting

-6 unexcused absences could result in truancy hearing at the District Justice Office

Thank you,

Ken

It is about that time to run the Youth Basketball leagues here at the school and I again need a little help getting this information circulated to the parents in the district. If you could possibly throw the bottom part of this email with the links out to the parent email list it would be greatly appreciated. This is for any girls currently in first through sixth grades. Kathy, if you could possibly post these links to any relevant social media spots to increase visibility for parents, it would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hello and good morning Susquenita parents,

Below you will find the links to the Girls Youth Basketball program sign ups. All information regarding the plan for the programs is found within. Please take note of which program and grade that you are signing up for. The exact schedule with times and dates are also found within the link. If interested, please return this form electronically by no later than the end of day on the listed date on the form.

As you will notice, we had to change the start dates, week/weekend days, and end dates for the programs from prior years. This Winter, both the Boys and Girls Junior High, Junior Varsity, and Varsity programs will all be participating in the Winter season. This altered gym availability and in turn we moved our dates to accommodate these additions while also ensuring the most possible dates and gym time for our youth programs. We will still have as many, if not more dates in comparison to prior years. We know that your child may not be able to make all listed dates due to prior commitments. We understand that and simply want them to attend as many opportunities in the gym as possible. There are obviously no penalties for missed days and we will fully include them in each session that they attend.

In addition to the scheduled intramural dates in the form, we will again be continuing with our "Tournament Teams". We will for sure have a 6th Grade Tournament Team and would like to put one together consisting of kids from the 4/5th Grade levels. This would run from after Christmas Break through the Tournament season concluding in early March. We will again be hosting our own Tournament here using our facilities as last year's inaugural offering was a success. These teams will be chosen by Coach Leonard and these players and parents will be notified individually and information on all future events regarding that team will be shared at that time.
