Southport Elementary School

Happy Friday SES families! At the beginning of the year, we introduced students to our SES S.O.A.R expectations. We have encouraged students to Show self control, Own a positive attitude, Act responsibly, and Respect everyone. This week, students demonstrating these behaviors had their first opportunity to visit our SOAR shop and get rewarded for their great behavior. Be sure to ask your student how they are doing with these expectations!

It is supposed to be a beautiful weekend! Get out and try to enjoy these warm temperatures while you can!

See you Monday!

¡Feliz viernes familia de SES! Al comienzo del año escolar, introducimos a los alumnos a las expectativas de S.O.A.R de SES. Hemos alentado a los alumnos a demostrar control, tener una actitud positiva, actuar responsablemente y respetar a todos. Esta semana los alumnos que demostraron estos comportamientos tuvieron la primera oportunidad en visitar nuestro taller de SOAR y ser premiados por su buen comportamiento. Asegure en preguntar a su hijo/a en como van con estas expectativas!

¡Se supone ser un fin de semana con un clima maravilloso! ¡Salgan a disfrutar estas temperaturas cálidas mientras se pueda!

¡Los vemos el Lunes!

Parents, we need your help!

The end of the day can be crazy if we have lots of last minute changes to how students are getting home. We understand that exceptions and emergencies will come up, but on a day to day, please try to follow the guidelines below.

• Please call the school when there will be a change in transportation. Teachers often don't get a chance to check email or parent square during the school day. A phone call ensures we get the message! A student telling us a transportation change is not enough-we need the phone call to ensure everyone gets home safely!

• Please try to call with transportation changes prior to 2:00.

• If you plan to pick your child up early, it would also be helpful if you called in ahead of time, especially if you plan to pick them up close to dismissal time. This will allow us to be prepared and not have to "hunt them down" as everyone is transitioning out to buses.

First graders had a great time visiting Waterman’s Farm Market on their recent field trip!

Happy Fall Ya'll!

What a masterpiece!

We need additional information on the academic needs and performance of individual students

in order to provide instruction at the appropriate level for each child. We are continuing our

screening for the high ability program and depending on the information needed your second

or fifth grade child may be administered a standardized test during November. Parents of

students who qualify for the program will receive a ParentSquare message by the end of May.

If you have any questions regarding testing, please contact Kim Jovic at kjovic@perryschools.org.

On November 5th FUSE Inc. will be at Perry Meridian High School!

FUSE provides information, resources, and support to families and individuals

with disabilities and mental health issues.

There will be information about services that can be provided for students

from birth to adulthood.

It is also a great time for staff to learn about what our community can provide for our students.
