Hi SES Families,
Our students are busy this month learning about positive social skills. Here is a video they are watching this week during Guidance classes that might help you talk about social skills at home!

Picture retake day will be on Friday, November 8th!
Happy November everyone!! We had a blast exploring the topic of curiosity last month. November's Habit of Learning is: Social Skills!
Stargazing education event!
Three of our GT art students had a trip to Caravel to meet and learn from Sarah Terrell, a local artist who mostly works in painting. She shared with the students how she creates her ghost ornaments for this time of year. She mentioned how mixing complementary colors and light and shade could create more depth in a painting. Then our students were asked to create their own ornaments with their own interpretations!

On Friday we had our first Learners Are Leaders assembly where we celebrated and highlighted student achievements! Teachers gave shoutouts to students for their amazing accomplishments so far this school year and each teacher also chose one student from their class that displays what it means to be a curious learner! These are some of our curiosity award winners in this photo! Stay tuned for November's habit of learning!
Spirit week is next week!
A huge thank you to our Boy Scouts for decorating the front of our school and making it look fantastic!
We will now be doing monthly Learners Are Leaders Assemblies to highlight and celebrate our students! Each month we will focus on a habit of learning and each teacher will bring forward a student that displays this habit to be celebrated. We will also do other shoutouts for students who have met goals and made other accomplishments throughout the month!
October's Habit of Learning is Curiosity!
There will be a Trunk or Treat on October 19th from 4-6pm! If you would like to sign up to do a trunk, please email Melissa Boyan at, melissaboyan80@gmail.com. We would like all sign ups to be confirmed by Wednesday, October 16th.
Due to the increase of phone calls to the main office for changes in student dismissal that occur after 12:00 pm, we wanted to send a friendly reminder to families of the wording in our Student Handbook:
Students who come to school on the bus will be returned to the same location unless they have a note from the parents that has been signed by the office. In the event that a bus change is necessary and a note was not provided, please call the office prior to 12:00 PM. Please do not email the classroom teacher with after school plans. Teachers are not always able to check email during the day. Last minute changes increase the likelihood of a bussing mistake. It is also suggested that you discuss and develop with your child a safety protocol in the event they are dropped off at home before you arrive. Bus drivers make every effort to see that this does not happen, but mistakes do occasionally occur. Your assistance with this is appreciated to ensure the safety of all children.
We do understand that emergencies happen and you may need to make a change after 12:00pm. But if you can, please call before noon. The end of the day changes are very hectic and the office is busy. We want to be sure that all students get to their appropriate places at the end of the day.
We appreciate your help and support with this! :)
