The Weekly Roar: Family Edition

Hello, Mableton Families!

What a great time to be a Mableton Jaguar! I continue to be amazed by our students and the wonderful things they do each day. From their hard work in the classroom to the kindness they show one another, our Jaguars give us so many reasons to be proud. We truly have some amazing kids here at Mableton, and it is a privilege to watch them learn, grow, and shine!

Honoring Our Veterans

This Monday, we have the special opportunity to honor the brave men and women who have served our country during our Veterans Day Parade and Breakfast. We are especially proud to recognize members of our Mableton staff, families, and community who have answered the call to serve. Their courage, sacrifice, and commitment to protecting our freedoms deserve our deepest gratitude and respect. It is also a wonderful opportunity to teach our students the importance of service, patriotism, and appreciation for those who have given so much for others. We look forward to celebrating these incredible individuals!

Thanksgiving Luncheons

One of my favorite traditions is happening this week—our Thanksgiving Luncheons! We are excited to welcome our families into the building to enjoy a special meal with their children. Please be sure to review the schedule to determine which day your child's grade level will attend. If you are unsure of your child's lunchtime, please reach out to their teacher or our Front Office. We can't wait to see our cafeteria filled with families making special memories together!

Fall Picture Makeups and Retakes

Fall Picture Makeups and Retakes will take place this Friday! If your child missed picture day or needs a retake, this is their opportunity.

Support Mableton Through Kroger Community Rewards

Here's an easy way to support our Jaguars! If you haven't already selected Mableton Elementary School as your organization in the Kroger App, please take a moment to do so. Every time you shop, Kroger gives back to our school at no additional cost to you! The money we receive goes directly toward providing special experiences, activities, and opportunities for our students. It's a simple way to make a big difference for our kids!

As always, thank you for your continued support and for sharing your amazing children with us each day. We have a wonderful week ahead, and I am especially looking forward to seeing so many of you at our Thanksgiving Luncheons!

Have a fantastic week, Jaguars!

Your Proud Principal,

Mike Cappucci

🇺🇸 Annual Veterans Day Parade

Our Annual Veterans Day Parade will take place on Monday, November 9 at 8:15 AM! We look forward to coming together as a school community to recognize and celebrate our veterans.

Reading and math are not the only skills children are learning at school. They are also learning how to be a friend, solve disagreements, take turns, apologize, speak up respectfully, and handle moments when someone hurts their feelings.

When your child tells you about a friendship problem, it can be tempting to immediately solve it for them. Start by listening and asking, “What do you think you could do?” or “What words could you use tomorrow?” If the situation is serious or ongoing, of course, reach out to the school so we can help.

Learning to navigate friendships takes time. With caring adults coaching them along the way, children can become more confident, compassionate, and capable problem-solvers.

Celebrate Your Child's Birthday on the School Marquee!

Would you like to make your child's birthday extra special? For just $10.00, you can add their name to our school marquee!

Did you know you can support our students just by doing what you already do — grocery shopping at Kroger? It’s quick, easy, and costs you nothing extra.

By linking your Kroger account to our school through Kroger Community Rewards, a portion of every eligible purchase is donated directly back to our school. There are no fees, no extra steps at checkout, and your fuel points and coupons stay the same.

Even better, this doesn’t stop with just your household. Family members, friends, grandparents, neighbors — anyone who shops at Kroger can link their account to our school, no matter where they live. The more people who participate, the more support our students receive.

Every dollar earned goes directly to our kids. These funds help support student programs, classroom resources, enrichment activities, and special experiences that make school more engaging, exciting, and meaningful for our students.

Thank you for being a Champion for Kids and for supporting our school in such a simple, powerful way. One small step on the app can make a big difference in the lives of our students.

Here is how you do it:

Step-by-Step for Families (App or Website)

Using the Kroger App (most popular):

1. Open the Kroger app

2. Tap the ☰ menu (top corner)

3. Tap Rewards

4. Select Community Rewards

5. Search for our school by name or organization number

6. Select the school and Enroll

Using a Computer:

1. Go to kroger.com and sign in

2. Click My Account

3. Select Community Rewards

4. Search for the school

5. Click Enroll

That’s it — once enrolled, every eligible purchase automatically helps the school.

To ensure the safety of our students, staff, and school community, all visitors must adhere to the following procedures when arriving at the school:

1. Ring the Doorbell:
   Upon arrival at the school entrance, visitors are required to ring the doorbell located at the main entrance. This notifies staff of your presence.
2. Hold ID to the Camera:
   After ringing the doorbell, please hold a valid, government-issued photo ID (e.g., driver’s license, passport) up to the camera for verification.
   🔹 IDs must be in hard copy form. Digital copies or IDs displayed on a phone or other electronic device will not be accepted.
   This step helps us confirm your identity before granting entry.
3. State the Nature of Your Visit:
   Once your ID has been shown, speak clearly into the intercom system and state the reason for your visit. Please provide specific details (e.g., meeting with a staff member, student pick-up – include the student’s name, delivering supplies).
4. Wait for Authorization:
   After verification, school staff will authorize your entry.
   🚫 Please do not hold the door open for others who have not completed the check-in process.

These measures are in place to maintain a secure and safe environment for everyone at Mableton Elementary. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding.
