Dear Fifth Grade Student,
Welcome to South Meadow School! We are very excited about our new school year! We will be studying a variety of subjects and topics throughout the school year. You will learn about ecology and ecosystems, the place of value system and fractions, and how our country was formed, to name a few. With the ChromeBooks that will now be available to all fifth grade students, you will have the opportunity to explore computer technology and learn a variety of ways to use it in your projects and presentations. Of course, we will also read some great books and do some excellent writing!
There are a few supplies that you will need for your fifth grade year. They are:
In the classroom, we have a supply of crayons, markers, paper and glue sticks, so you won't need to purchase any of those items. It would be most helpful if you had the above mentioned supplies when you come to school on Wednesday, August 28, 2019. Should any of these items create a financial burden for your family, please don't fret, just let your classroom teacher know! Please make sure you have a snack and a lunch or lunch money to put on your account for the first day. Also, please be prepared to go outside each day, so bring or wear sneakers to school.

Dear Student, Parents, and Guardians,
Welcome to grade 8 and the Sage Team. We are very excited to be working with you all during the upcoming school year. We would like to remind you that eighth graders are required to do 20 hours of community service. This year we are hoping to complete most service learning hours as a team and/or within our advisories. Students are welcome to complete as many hours as possible over the summer and throughout the school year. All service learning hours and paperwork will be due on or before May 22, 2020. Community service paperwork is available on the school website.
We want you to have a successful school year and organization is a big part of that. In order to assist you with organization, we would like you to have the following:
General supplies required for every class:
If procuring supplies is a financial hardship, please let your child’s advisor know.August 12, 2019
Homerooms and advisories will be available the week of August 20th. Enjoy your summer and remember to keep reading! We look forward to seeing all students on Wednesday, August 28, and parents for open house on September 12!
Sincerely,
The Sage Team
