Month: February 2018

Dear Saklan Parents,

On Wednesday we had our Moving-Up Day for students in Pre-school through Grade 4. This was a great way for our students to meet their next year’s teacher and get a feel for what the next grade will be like. Hopefully some of your children told you all about it.

Re-enrollment contracts went out in the mail yesterday.   We have again built in an early enrollment discount, which effectively keeps the tuition at this year’s level.  Please feel free to speak with me if you have any questions or concerns.

A big thank you to all the parents that came out for our Town Hall last Friday and to all the Faculty and Board Members that presented.  For those who missed the event, the slides will be posted on renweb.

Please note that next week we will have a new code for the front gate, so look for that notification in a separate email.  This is something we do on a regular basis to ensure the safety of our community.  We also ask all parents, alumni and visitors to sign in at the office.  It is important to the safety of everyone that we know who is on campus at all times.

Finally, I ask that all parents using the school driveway for drop off be mindful of the time you take to do so.  It is not possible to park in the driveway while you are waiting and certainly not in the handicap spot.  We have ample parking at the Trinity Church or on the road.

Have a great weekend!

Peter

Saklan’s Student Council has planned lots of fun and games on the last three Fridays in February!  They have chosen a different theme for each of these Fridays.  Please have your child dress in clothes that relate to the specified theme.  At lunchtime each day, the Student Council officers will play a cooperative game with the elementary and middle school students to boost school spirit and to encourage teamwork.  Please refer to the list below for days and themes, and please remember that your outfits must be school and weather appropriate!

Friday, February 9th-Hawaiian Day

Students are encouraged to wear clothes that are in a Hawaiian theme. During lunchtime, student will be participating in a water balloon toss contest.

Each grade level will choose a class theme so all students can match and build team spirit. We will have a 3-legged race for grade level pairs to participate in during the lunch hour.

This is a Saklan favorite!  Kids should wear their favorite pajamas and appropriate slippers to school.  At lunch, the students can participate in a donut-eating contest
