Savannah Shoutout
January 31st 2024

LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION!!!

Don't miss the Savannah Elementary Gators and Guardians dance coming February 24th! Tickets are 2 for $20 with each additional ticket only $5. See you there!

Wonderful Gator Families!

Happy Wednesday! We want to inform our Gator community of some changes to our daily announcements.

Beginning February 5th, Savannah announcements will only be live to our teachers and students (no longer on Facebook Live each morning). We want the opportunity to involve more students while also protecting student privacy.

But wait...our parents LIKE hearing what is happening in our school! They want to connect, share, and be informed. Never fear! Beginning February 9th, we will host a Friday midday "Hawkins Huddle" on Facebook Live. This event will happen bi-monthly and be more interactive than our morning announcements have been. Hawkins, Chartrand, and Holt will cover information from our Savannah Shoutout, and chat with our amazing Savannah community.

This change coincides with our Black History Month student presentations. We still want to showcase our student presentations to our parents. For every presenter with parent permission, we will record the presentation and add the videos to our weekly Savannah Shoutout. Parents will be able to share the video with friends and family.

Here are upcoming events and school info items:

important Reminders

Make sure you fill out a background check if you plan to eat lunch with your student or volunteer in any capacity. The background check application link is provided below.
Lost and Found: Our wonderful Boy Scouts will be managing our lost and found this year. In order to keep the items manageable, we will be taking unclaimed items to our donation bins at the end of each month. Make sure you check the rack outside the gym each week for missing gear.

BIrthdays!

We are happy to celebrate your child's birthday at school. We allow parents to send birthday trinkets for their child's class if they want, however, WE DO NOT ALLOW BIRTHDAY TREATS or FOODS. Cupcakes/cake/candy, etc. compete with healthy meals and snacks. We will not serve them.
