Happy Friday everyone! Fall Break is less than two weeks away - a solid reminder about how quickly the year is going. As you are well aware, Parent/Teacher Conferences will wrap up the first 6 week progress reporting period. This is a great time to have a meaningful connection with parents/guardians to discuss their student's overall growth - academically, socially and emotionally. It's important to see parents and families as partners in this process. Forming positive relationships provides a foundation for positive outcomes for students, particularly when hard conversations are necessary later. Remember we set the stage for these interactions!
Pictured above are CPHS students who are helping serve hot dogs during lunch time! This was Mr. Cooper's brilliant idea since the cook-out during Homecoming Week was rained out!
Please be reminded that United Way forms are due Monday, October 7. Please consider a donation to this worthy organization that provides incredible support to those in need in our area.
A sweet lady called our office yesterday and spoke to Debbie Harrington, the beautiful voice of Sand Springs Public Schools. She wanted to tell whoever was "over Dr. Cowan (ECEC) and Susan Wilkerson" how much she appreciates "how sweet they are and how great they have made the transition for her 4-year-old." She didn't want to leave a name or number but wanted her boss to know how sweet they are. Thank you Dr. Cowan and Ms. Wilkerson for being sweet and making students feel welcome and safe! WE LOVE GETTING THESE STORIES!
Please remember we are in the open enrollment period for health insurance. These forms are due back to Karen Taylor by October 15. If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Taylor at karen.taylor@sandites.org.
