We recognize that as a parent or guardian, you are our student's first teacher and we want to partner with you to help our children become tolerant, compassionate, and caring adults. To support achieving these goals and to help our students build their social-emotional skills, we are pleased to share that we are implementing Sanford Harmony in our school community.
Sanford Harmony is a social emotional learning program designed to build healthy relationships among students by having them engage in activities that promote understanding and respect. Each classroom teacher has worked with his/her class to develop Harmony Goals, which describe the expectations for how to treat each other. Students are also participating in Meet Up and Buddy Up in their classrooms several times per week.
Meet Up - The class has a 10-15 minute meeting in which they monitor progress toward meeting Harmony Goals, exchange ideas, share experiences, solve problems and build community.
Buddy Up - Students will be paired with a different partner each week. They will engage in quick 2-5 minute conversations or activities to get to know one another better, form connections, communicate and cooperate.
Through participation in these activites, students will enhance their abilities to learn, work, and spend time together. We know this will benefit our school community immensely as we build healthy relationships that foster respect and kindness. To learn more about Sanford Harmony please visit sanfordharmony.org and be sure to ask your child about Harmony Goals, Meet Up and Buddy Up.
Thank you for your support!
Sincerely,
Jessica Michaelidis

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Since this visit is designed to let you observe your child at work, the teacher has been asked not to engage in conversations with any parents during the visit. We request that you please refrain from speaking with your child, taking pictures and having conversations on your phone. We want each day to continue to be productive and full of learning for all students.
The suggested schedule for parent visitation is listed below.

Our school will be participating in the SchoolStore program. This online program helps our school earn cash without students selling door-to-door, collecting money, or delivering products. Over 400 merchants, including Sears, Target and WalMart.com, have joined together to offer up to 50% of sales to our school for shopping through SchoolStore.com.
To shop and support our school, simply go to www.schoolstore.com and select our school.
Participation is key in helping get the word out about our School Store. Soon your child will come home with a parent letter requesting you to help them enter email addresses to friends and family. When you enter just 3 email addresses you'll receive a prize code your child can return the next day for a prize. Please note: Although it might say our fundraiser starts in January they are letting us start early for the holiday shopping.
