Welcome Back!!

I enjoyed meeting some new families last night and reuniting with some returning from last year. I am really looking forward to this new school year. There are many changes happening and I am excited to begin this new chapter at SGE.
In case you didn't get to meet our new principal last night, there will be a "Meet and Greet" for Mrs. Bennett on August 12th. This will be coinciding with our PTO meeting for the month, but will give you an opportunity to meet her and join the PTO at the same time! :)
I forgot to mention last night that we are a Title One School. This means that we get federal grant money to support programs like RTI. RTI (Response to Intervention) is a state-wide program that allows us to target students who need additional help with foundational skills in Reading and Math. So, if you see a paper come home (Title One Compact), please fill out and return to help our school continue to receive these funds. (Only have to do one per family).
If you missed Open House last night, not to worry. Your child will bring home a folder with all the info that was covered.
Here's the most important highlights:
1. Our new start time is 7:35 A.M. this year (for elementary schools district-wide). Please be sure your child is here by that time or he/she will be counted tardy.
2. We will be using Class Dojo to track behavior again this year. It is very important that I have your email address to connect you to your child's account. If you have not already given it to me, you can email it to me at betsy.fredericks@scott.kyschools.us OR I will send a parent code home next week that you can connect to yourself.
3. Please bring all supplies to school on the first day of school (unless you brought them last night).
4. Please pay the $20 room fee as soon as possible. I put an envelope in your child's folder last night to make it easier to keep up with. Thanks for all of you who paid last night!
5. Finally, please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any other questions or anything you want to discuss.
I look forward to working with you and your child this year!!!
