This will be a short week with school on Monday and Tuesday only. I hope you have a restful and peaceful Thanksgiving taking time to reflect on all you are thankful for.
The PTO currenlty has an SB-L Apparal Store open! There is a wide variety of items and sizes to choose from that would make excellent holiday gifts. Click here to view the store. The store will close November 27 at 11:00 am and items will arrive in time for the holidays.
Did You Know?
- Substitute teachers are an important part of the school community. We have some amazing people who give up their day to come into the building and teach the students while their teacher is absent. This year I am hearing more and more that the elementary students are struggling to make Warrior Way choices and be kind to these guest teachers. We can not keep learning moving forward without these people coming in to teach the students. I am fearful that many of these teachers will decide they do not want to be treated disrespectfully and unkindly any more and will decide not to return to the elementary school. Please take some time to have a conversation wtih your child about the role of a substitute teacher and what the expectations are when they are in the classroom. This is not something I can fix alone. Your help and support are needed so we do not lose these amazing teachers!

Weekly Reminders:
1. Please notify the office if your student will be late or absent, by 8:45am. If we do not receive a call, voicemail or email, then Mrs. Kloostra will call you. We must account for all students absent from school. Contact the office by email kloossus@sblschools.com or phone 712-943-5563 option 2.
2. If your child is leaving early from school, they will not be called to the office until you arrive. This way we keep them in class as long as possible in the event you are running late to pick them up. Advance notice to the office will help us locate your student more quickly. Coming 5 minutes early will also help get your child out the door on time when leaving early.
3. If your child goes to The Warrior Y Club after school and will not be going on a given day, please call and let them know.
4. At times seconds may be served during lunch. Seconds and extra milk or milk with cold lunch is not covered under the free or reduced lunch program. Students must have money in their accounts for those extra items.
5. Breakfast is served from 7:45-8:10. The bell rings at 8:10 and school begins at 8:15. Students are counted tardy if they are not in their classroom at 8:15.
6. Fall is here so it is time to start sending a coat or sweatshirt to school daily with your child as the temperatures fluctate from morning to afternoon and day to day.
7. TeamMates Mentoring Program is open to students in grades 3-12. Mentors are always needed to help make this program a success. If you or somebody you know is interested in being a mentor sign up here. If you would like to sign up your child to have a mentor contact Mrs. Lindberg.
