Kindergarten at Sato Elementary School

Are birthday treats allowed?

No, it is district policy that no sugary snacks are allowed for birthdays.

How are birthdays celebrated at school?

With classroom equity in mind, we let the birthday celebrations happen at home. Students are not allowed to bring treat bags or gifts for others on birthdays. Please refrain from sending invitations unless you are inviting every student.

Sato celebrates birthdays in two ways:

1) Birthday books through the library (contact our librarian Tammy Fry to arrange: tammy_fry@beaverton.k12.or.us)

2) Birthday pencils handed out by our Principal at the end of every month.

If my questions are not answered through this website, how can I contact the teacher?

You can reach your teacher through the ParentSquare messaging app. Teachers work from 7:15am-3:15pm each day and most of our time is spent with the students. Please allow 24-48 hours for your teacher to respond to messages.

If you need urgent help, please contact the office at (503) 356-2530.

When can I expect to see grades and hear about how my student is doing in class?

Official grades are given twice a year in Kindergarten, one in February and one in June. We look forward to talking with you in depth about your student's progress at the two parent-teacher conferences (fall and spring).

How do families find out about bus routes? Do families need to register?

If a student qualifies for busing, families will receive an email from Transportation with their student’s route information the week before school starts. Elementary students who live more than one mile from school qualify for busing; families do not need to register.

To find your child's route information, please visit THIS link.

How can I purchase Spirit Wear?

Can't I just email the teacher about my change in go home plans?

No, teachers are busy with students in the classroom and are unable to check emails regularly. To ensure safety of your student you must fill out the form by 1:00pm.
