Tissues

Thank you so much to the families who donated tissues at the beginning of the school year. Unfortunately, our Learning Community is down to our last box. If you would like to donate some, we all would appreciate it.

Thanks,

Operation Happiness Canned Food Drive

The Lanfear & Howrigan learning community hosts the Operation Happiness food drive each year for the entire school. Some of our students have made posters and distributed fliers. They will also be counting the cans (school-wide) each day. We will maintain a bar graph in the center hallway to track the competition.

Please consider donating nonperishable food to this cause! You may send in food items with your child, and there is a collection location in our center area by the lab benches.

Your contributions are appreciated. Thank you!

Chains Essay

Chains essays were due in class today. Students have been given one more day for revisions. Their homework for tonight is to read their essay (word for word) to an adult.

There are many resources available in my Google classroom, if you're able to assist your child with the revision process.

Thanks,
Abby Lanfear

K - 8th Grade Competition

November 15th-December 5th

Operation Happiness is a community initiative run by dedicated volunteers that relies heavily on the generosity and support of our community. With over 300 volunteers joining together each year, Operation Happiness is able to provide baskets of food during the holidays to over 1,100 families throughout Franklin and Grand Isle Counties. (fgiunitedway.org)   

Every holiday season, SATEC families give back to the community in various ways. This year, we will once again be hosting a friendly school-wide competition to support Operation Happiness. 

If you can spare any non-perishable food items, please send them in with your child. Thank you for your contribution to our canned food drive!  

Which grade will donate the most food? Keep an eye on the bar graph in the main hallway to find out!

Special Presentation - Northwest Technical Center & Powerschool information

Northwest Technical Center
Students attended a presentation this morning that highlighted the offerings of the Northwest Technical Center (part of BFA). Please ask your child about the presentation and if any of the programs piqued their interest. If you'd like to learn more about the programs, please visit this link.

Students will start the BFA course selection process this winter. There are many tech center introductory courses that they can sign up for as Freshman.

Our first field trip to BFA will be in January or February, when we'll have immersion experiences in their elective course offerings. It's always a favorite field trip for students.

Powerschool & Missing Assignments
We have a handful of students who have multiple missing assignments. Any missing assignments are flagged with an orange question mark in Powerschool. Please talk with your child about any assignments that they might need help with. We are available before school for extra help and encourage you to reach out to us if you child needs to come in early to meet with us. We also encourage you to take advantage of the Friday academic hour (2:30-3:30) available through https://hello.familyid.com/.

*Call 527-7191 and ask for Travis, if you have problems with your parent Powerschool login.

Thanks,
Ms. Lanfear

Pink Student Information Verification Forms and School Closing Information

We are still waiting on about a dozen pink Student Identification Verification forms to be returned between the two homerooms. These were sent home last week as part of our upgrade to Unified Classroom.

As the school is still in the process of updating all verification information, we cannot rely on an automated phone call should school need to be closed for a weather event. If you ever think there might be a chance of school closing and you don't receive a phone call, please watch Channel 3 and 5 on the TV as they will carry any Maplerun cancellations.

Thank you.
