Happy Friday, Sharks!
Our first full week was quite a success. Now that the year is off and running, students seem to be settling into the school routine. Mrs. Robertson and I have been able to make it into a number of classrooms this week to see kids already hard at work. English and math classes have been working on their MAP tests this week. CHOMP classes have been working on building the community that makes Sutherland unique. It was great to see our 6th grade homerooms brainstorm ways to help the Houston area throughout the week. All in all, it has been a terrific start.
As a reminder, there is no school on Monday. Next week, Morning Study Hall begins on Tuesday. Study hall runs from 8:15 – 9:00 AM and is required for any students who arrive at Sutherland before 8:45 AM. Study Hall meets in the Cafeteria. This year, we will use the Cafeteria entrance for students to enter the building for Study Hall. Once they enter, students will sign in with the teacher on duty and then will stay in the Cafeteria until the school day begins.
Also, as a reminder, we have Back-to-School Night on Thursday from 6:30 – 8:30 PM. This is a chance for parents to come to school and learn more about what your children do here each day. Mrs. McCullough is also hosting a brief Gifted meeting from 6:00 – 6:30 in the library prior to the start of the evening’s events. Starting at 6:30 PM, there will be a short State of the School Address in the Cafeteria to kick the evening off. Afterwards, parents and guardians will follow their child’s schedule and will hear from each teacher your child has throughout the day (pro tip: bring your child’s schedule with you or have it open on your phone). We hope to see many of you at this event.
Coming up next week, we also have our first PTO meeting and our Jazz Band auditions. We hope you all have a wonderful long weekend and will see you again on Tuesday!
