Sells eNews

Good Evening,

I hope everyone is enjoying the full moon and the beautiful changing leaves as much as I am! This week was filled with learning for both our students and staff. On Tuesday, our staff came together to reflect on our building goals, action steps, and the best ways to support our learners’ growth. I am so proud of all the hard work being done. The Sells staff truly cares about our students and is committed to ensuring everyone feels safe, supported, and valued.

Please don't forget we will be having our November PTO meeting on November 18th at 7:00 pm in the Library. We hope to see you there!

Have a wonderful weekend!

With ROCK Pride,

Katy O'Neal

• This week, we are focusing on BEING ON TIME and ready to learn. ALL TARDIES WILL BE STRICTLY ENFORCED. If your student is late to class the classroom door will be locked and they must wait QUIETLY IN THE HALLWAY until a staff member arrives to take their name and then let them into class.
• CONSEQUENCES:

3 tardies = lunch detention that same day

2 lunch detentions in one week = Wednesday School

Please don't forget to sign up for the DC Trip. Attached is the payment information.

Help us Fund the FUN! Each year the PTO does things like feed teachers, host (free!) events for students, provide teacher grants, and so much more. BUT we can't do it without you! Your financial support (as well as signing up - and following through on your signup - to bring donations) allows us do to these things! Without you, none of the above can happen. If you can't make a donation, who do you know that might be able to? Do you know any businesses that might like to make a donation? We will definitely give them recognition! If you use Venmo, you can make a donation to @SellsMSPTO.
