May 10 Community Bulletin
South Shore Community Bulletin
Good afternoon, South Shore community, and an extra special greeting to the mothers and women in our lives who are caregiving. Happy Mother’s Day! We recognize that some will celebrate wholeheartedly this weekend, and that for others it can be a tender or difficult time. However Mother’s Day lands for you, thank you for being part of the community of people who care for our spectacular students together. I also want to celebrate our staff of dedicated educators and all the work they put in day after day for the sake of your children’s education and development. As School Staff Appreciation week draws to a close, I want to remind all our Sea Dragons that it’s not too late to send an email or talking points message to teacher or other staff, thanking them for making a positive difference in your life.
And thank you to our PTSA and South Shore families who have already found such creative ways to show their appreciation this week.
Tonight, Community Cafe at South Shore, from 5-7pm. It’s a time to discuss the needs of our community and connect while enjoying delicious food. Looking forward to seeing you there!
Standardized Testing is still underway. Please continue to help students prepare by emphasizing good rest, nutrition, and taking their time to show their best work. Also, all district assigned laptops for 3rd through 8th grade should remain on campus every day through the next several weeks.
Please double check your child’s enrollment for next year. Use the school assignment look up tool and contact our front office if your address is in district and you didn’t turn in a choice form to change schools, your PK through 7th grade child should still be assigned to South Shore next year. Check The Source or use the School Assignment Lookup Tool
