Hi Families,
I hope you are having a great week. I sure am happy to see rain again, though I am looking forward to a more subtle transition into fall next week. I am looking forward to hosting you in our classroom community for back to school night. Remember, it is this upcoming Monday, September 25th from 6:30-8:00pm. All families will meet in the auditorium from 6:30-7:00pm, then you will have from 7-8:00pm to spend time with me in the classroom. Here is the rough agenda for our classroom time: 7:00-7:10 introductions 7:10-7:30 Leo intro and classroom info. 7:30-7:50 Family project time 7:50 lingering questions Can you please bring a 4x6 photograph that includes your child and your family to back to school night? We will use it for our family project. Please do not tell students about this, as I am hoping to show them the project as a surprise from you all. Multi-home families will have the opportunity to each create their own project piece. Here are a few other reminders:
As always, let me know if you have any questions and send them my way. Warmly, Leo

Hi Families,
As you may have noticed, my goal is to send a weekly email update (will change based on what's happening here at SES in terms of day of the week) home to families to keep you in the loop. I will also publish my updates in the announcement section of our classroom website.
Sorry to overwhelm you with information, there happens to be a lot of announcements this week. Please reach out with any questions! I hope you are enjoying the first signs of fall with your family. Leo Hi Families,
Please see below for Amy and Shannon's Back to School Night announcement. I look forward to seeing (adult) family members there! ~Leo Hi all, This was sent to families today. K-5 teachers, thank you for your feedback and flexibility regarding the date change. Back-to-school nights are a wonderful way for parents and guardians to learn more about Sunnyside and also meet their child’s teachers. Adults will first convene in the auditorium at the beginning of the evening, hearing important information about the school vision, curriculum, and various ways to support your child’s learning throughout the year. The second portion of the evening will be spent in your child’s classrooms, meeting other parents and guardians from your class community and getting to know your child’s teacher a little bit better. Most teachers provide families with a curricular overview and also insight into the unique aspects of their individual classrooms. The main focus of this night is on the class as a whole (typically your teacher will provide you with their preferred method of setting up individual times to speak about your student if this is something your family needs). The schedules for both evenings are listed below: Thursday, September 14th: Middle School
Please note that this is an adults only event. While we understand the difficulty securing childcare poses to some, we ask that you not bring your children for two reasons: 1) We have high attendance at our back-to-school-nights, and there is not enough room in classrooms for both students and parents; and 2) the information presented by teachers is meant for adults, specifically. Students receive much of the information in different ways during class time. We try to offer on-site childcare for most of our evening events; however, due to the sizable crowd at Back to School Nights, we regret that this is simply not a possibility for these two evening events. If you cannot attend this event, please contact your child’s teachers directly (email, phone or a note left in the office for delivery) to be sure they have your contact information for important classroom communications. If home, work or other commitments and/or child care are prohibiting you from attending this event, please contact Amy or Shannon McClure and we will do our best to work with your family to help you access the information offered during these events in a different/creative way. Thank you and looking forward to seeing you soon! Amy and Shannon |
