Dear Sutherland Families,

Parent Conference Week begins on Tuesday, September 22. During conference week, students in grades 1-6 will be dismissed at 1:10 p.m. Tuesday through Friday. TK and Kindergarten students will remain on their regular schedule.

Parent conferences provide a valuable opportunity for families and teachers to work together to support student success. This is your chance to learn more about your child's academic progress, strengths, and goals, and to discuss ways you can support their educational journey at home.

If you have not yet scheduled a conference, it's not too late! Please contact the school office, and we will be happy to help you set up an appointment.

We look forward to partnering with you to ensure a successful school year for every student.

Go Otters!

Mrs. Horton
Principal, Sutherland Elementary School

The Sutherland Spelling Bee will be Thursday. The Classroom spelling bee competitions have been conducted and three representatives from each class will come to compete this Thursday. Who will represent our school at the District Bee? Only time and superior spelling will tell. Come and join us for an exciting competition.

If you would like your child to attend - call the office and we will help you register your student.
