Read Your Way, Lead Your Way!
Join us on Tuesday, November 10, from 5:30–7:00 PM for a fun night of reading, learning, and leadership! Our Student Lighthouse Team and Herd Leaders have been working hard to plan activities for families to enjoy! You'll get to explore different student-created themes, participate in fun reading activities, and play games that highlight our Profile of a Learner competencies.
We would love for you to come out, support our students, see all their hard work, and enjoy some pizza provided by our wonderful PTO! Please RSVP below so we know how many families to expect. We hope to see you there! https://forms.gle/XQKuhwAZEkdTWmy17

Thank you for helping us recognize and celebrate our school community's heroes!
Attendance
Our overall student attendance goal each week is 96% or higher. We have only achieved this 5 out of 11 weeks. We know there are always legitimate reasons for your child to stay home. Students are permitted the following each school year:
6 parent excuse tardy notes for the year (defined as missing fewer than 2 hours and 27 minutes of the school day)
6 parent excuse absence notes (defined as missing over 2 hours and 27 minutes of the school day)
10 excused days with doctor's notes
Student absences can be submitted any of the following ways:
Send a doctor's note in your child's folder
Submit the absence digitally here. Note: these absences will count as "parent notes" unless a doctor's note is sent in to school.
Email Mrs. Reeve at Mary.Reeve@scott.kyschools.us. Doctor's notes can be sent in digitally to this address as well.
Don't forget to fill out an Educational Enhancement Opportunity Form if the absence will be educational in nature. These absences do not require you to use parent notes. This form must be submitted 5 days prior to the absence for approval by Mrs. Kelly.
The school is required to send a letter home once a student has 3 unexcused absences. At 8 unexcused absences, Scott County Schools will send a letter. At 15 unexcused absences, educational neglect/truancy can be filed with the court.
Homework Policy
We need your input! Our Site Based Decision Making Council continues to do policy revision, and we have an outdated Homework Policy. This is not a required SBDM policy per the Kentucky Department of Education, so the council discussed abolishing it completely. Please take 30 seconds to provide your feedback on this Google Form. The SBDM council will complete the required second read on November 9th and vote changes into policy.

Are you Interested in partnering with SGE?
Stamping Ground Elementary is working to grow our community partnerships and create more opportunities for our students throughout the year. We are looking for parents, local businesses, organizations, and community members who may be interested in partnering with us through student-led service projects, classroom experiences, school events, donations, business advertisements, volunteering, and more.
If you would like to be added to our SGE Community Partnership list, please complete this Google Form. Completing the form does not commit you to anything. It simply helps us know who we can reach out to when opportunities come up throughout the year!
