Welcome back from a quick break. I hope you were able to spend time with family. We are back to business tomorrow with four full weeks until winter break!
Just a reminder, the PTO SB-L Apparal Store is still 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 tomorrow, November 27 at 11:00 am and items will arrive in time for the holidays.
The primary and elementary schools have come together to have a variety of fun holiday dress up days in the month of December. We will kick off the fun this Friday with red and green day. See the attached flyer for all the days.
Did You Know?
- We make school safety a priority at SB-L. Last Wednesday during staff professional development learning, the Sergeant Bluff PD, Chief Pack and SRO Hutzell, talked with primary and elementary staff about school safety reviewing the district safety plan. Teachers will be taking time this week to review these procedures with students. A letter will be coming out this week outlining more information about what this will look like and what you can do at home to help your child prepare in the event of a crisis at school.

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.
