Starting the School Year Right

I was telling a friend this afternoon that this summer has flown by. I've fulfilled promises I've made to my children for summer adventure and fun, but still have a few left on the To Do list. I'm just not sure where to squeeze them in at this point! It seems like school will be starting all too soon and our easy laid back days will rapidly be filled with school friends, assignments, and a new kind of chaos.

That made me realize that I really needed to update my calendar and get all those dates that have been floating around in my head written down lest I forget an important date. So, for your convenience, I am putting them all in one place so you can find them at a glance:

Tuesday, August 6th- The on-line portion of the enrollment process opened. This is a great way to make the in-person part of enrollment go swiftly!

Wednesday, August 21st- New Student Enrollment (the in-person portion) at Sandburg runs from 8am-12pm.

Friday, August 23rd- Returning Student Enrollment (the in-person portion) at Sandburg runs from 11am-6pm.

Friday, August 30th- School Supply Drop Off day from 1-6pm. Teachers are available for a meet and greet in their classrooms from 1-3:30pm. After this time slot, supplies can be dropped off in the gym.

Friday, August 30th- Sandburg Play Date. This is an opportunity for students (with a supervising adult) to reconnect with last year's friends and meet new classmates! We'll meet on the big playground and PTA representatives will be available from 2:30- 5:30pm.

Tuesday, September 10th- Welcome to Sandburg Night! This is an event you won't want to miss! This is a social (food included) event where you can learn more about the school's awesome initiatives, school policy changes, meet your PTA members, and visit your child's classroom once again! Plus who knows what other surprises there may be??? Time TBD.

Friday, October 4th or 11th- Do you want to meet your child's new best friend and meet other parents? Has your schedule kept you from making it to the school? Breakfast with a Buddy is a great opportunity to do all of these things. It is also a wonderful chance for your child to bring in someone else that is important in his/ her life and show them around the school after a delicious breakfast. Time and exact date TBD.

Wednesday, October 23rd- The fabled Fall Dance! Much more information to come on this event, but we are already looking forward to seeing everyone there! Plus, its a great opportunity for parents to get involved! (PTA sponsored.)
