Note to Families

This week is MEA break. There is no school on Oct. 21 and 22. It is a short week, so homework will be due on Wednesday.

Wednesday Oct. 20 is Walk or Bike to School Day at SAP. Do so if you can, otherwise your student will have a chance to walk or jog around the building before coming in! 

Library visits started last week! Tennison’s class went on Thursday. Hausman’s class will go on Monday, and Pratt’s will go on Tuesday. For more information, see the note from our library TA on the back.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED 

In addition, I am looking for adult volunteers to sign up for a consistent volunteering schedule in the library. Time slots for both morning and afternoon are available Monday through Friday. If you can't commit to a weekly schedule, I will also collect names of those who may be interested in periodically volunteering or covering if someone is out. 

Your volunteer commitment will run from October 25- Dec. 21, 2021. A new sign-up will be circulated prior to January 2022. Basic duties will include shelving, helping students browse our collection, and reading to groups of students. Sign up here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090e4dafad2aa0fd0-library by Wednesday, October 20. Volunteers must agree to mask the entire time in the library. In addition, volunteers must also be fully vaccinated or submit weekly testing. See district policy here:
