Hello Sacajawea families,

The new school year is off to a wonderful start. With the arrival of our Pre-K and Kindergarten students, we are now officially off and running. I attended the first PTA meeting on Tuesday and was glad to see the great turnout. We held our first assembly on Wednesday morning, and all our students showed us what it means to SHINE.

We are pleased to announce that our curriculum night will be held on September 26th from 6:30 pm to 7:15 pm. This evening is a good opportunity to meet with your children’s teachers, to learn all about the curriculum we teach and what a typical school day looks like at each grade level, and to meet and greet our newest staff members. Look for more information in the next week’s newsletter.

In partnership,

Barry Fisk
Principal
Sacajawea Elementary
