Good morning, families! We are looking forward to an exciting week with our Teacher and Employee of the Year announcement on Thursday, then our annual Career Day on Friday. It is guaranteed to be a fun and busy week!
In other news, our schoolwide attendance last week was the lowest of the entire school year. Please make sure you're sending your child each day unless they are ill. Teachers are busy covering content each and every day, and we don't want your child to miss important instruction.
Additionally, the ordering deadline for yearbooks is THIS FRIDAY. An ordering link is below.
Please make it a priority to read through these announcements each week. Everything is housed on the website in an attempt to streamline communication. You can bookmark bit.ly/sgeparents to easily navigate to the school website. From there, click on "Weekly Announcements" at the top of the webpage.
KSA Decorating - Help Needed!

Free & Reduced Lunch Application
Did you know the Free and Reduced Lunch application is available year-round? We know this can easily be overlooked in August with all the additional back-to-school paperwork. If your circumstances have changed or you forgot to fill the application out earlier this year, you can access it here. Only one application is required for all children in the household.
Substitute Teachers Needed
Are you looking for a way to get more involved at SGE while maintaining a schedule that works for you? We are looking for dedicated family and community members to join our pool of substitute teachers! This is a fantastic opportunity for those who want to support our students and staff while enjoying total flexibility.
Why Substitute at SGE?
Total Flexibility: You set your own availability. Work as much or as little as you like!
Stay Local: You can specifically request to only substitute at SGE, keeping you right here in our school community.
Make an Impact: Help maintain a consistent, high-quality learning environment for our students when their teachers need to be away.
Get Involved: See the "magic" of the classroom firsthand and become an even more integral part of our school family.
How to Apply
If you have a passion for education and a flexible schedule, we would love to have you. For more information on the application process and requirements, click here.

Morning Arrival & Dismissal
Please make every effort to arrive to school on time each morning. Our staff need to assume their other duties at 7:35 AM, and the school day officially begins at that time.
If the front door is closed when you arrive, please know it’s not meant to be unkind — it simply means you’re late and will need to sign your child in at the office. Thank you for helping us ensure a smooth and safe start to every student’s day.
