Summer@Saklan Pre-Registration

IMG_7222

In the last four years our Summer@Saklan Program, with a focus on learning, language and laughter, has grown by 165%.  Last year the sessions filled up very quickly and some Saklan School families were not able to get a spot. We anticipate that the demand for the program will be even greater this summer, and thus we have decided to offer you a pre-registration option so that you can lock in a place for your child before the registration opens to the public on January 16th.

The Summer@Saklan Program offers three 3-week long sessions with students divided into Mini-campers (ages 3-5) and Explorers (ages 6-11).   Costs for each session are: Mini-campers  $1100 ($800 half day), Explorers $1300 ($950 half-day).

To secure your spot before the registration opens, please fill in and return a pre-registration form together with a deposit of $100 per child by Friday, January 12th.  These forms are being sent home today with all students in PreK-Grade 5 and are also available at the school office and on Renweb.

The schedule and structure of the sessions is as follows:

Session/Dates                  Mini Campers                  Explorers

S1/June 11- 29                   Spanish                               Spanish/Mandarin /Italian

S2/July 2-20                       Mandarin                           Spanish/Mandarin/French

S3/July 23-Aug.10             French                                Japanese/Italian/French

Annual Giving Fund

Every year, each member of Saklan’s community—families, faculty, and friends—is asked to make a donation to our Annual Giving Fund.  The Annual Giving Fund helps Saklan meet its budgeted needs during the current school year and provide a vibrant place for children to learn and develop.

“Thank you” to our parents, grandparents, teachers and staff, current and former trustees who have donated and pledged to our Annual Giving Fund to date.  We are truly grateful.

We will be finishing our public appeal for this fundraising campaign on Monday, January 22. This means that there are only 2 ½ more weeks remaining to send in your gifts and pledges.

  • Please consider making Saklan your family’s priority for charitable giving. You can donate online by clicking HERE.
  • If you would like to pledge now and pay later, by May 15, 2018, please email your pledge to development@saklan.org
  • Many answers about your Annual Giving Fund gift can be found HERE.

Our intramural sports will continue in January with a school wide soccer tournament.  Also in 2018 we start our busy interscholastic sports season against other schools.  A soccer game is in the works along with a full schedule of basketball games.  During the spring we will play volleyball.  All fifth through eighth graders are eligible to participate.  More information will also be sent out regarding the schedules.  If you are interested in participating or helping out in any way please contact Mr. Crabtree at ccrabtree@saklan.org.  Thank you.
Let’s Go Saklan!

The Cold Weather Has Arrived

Temperatures have been very low in the mornings this past week, so we advise parents to dress their children appropriately for outdoor recess. With this need to keep our students warm, we remind parents to adhere to the school’s dress code. The following new hooded sweat jacket would be a great addition to any Saklan student’s wardrobe.
