Announcements

School directories are coming home today with the youngest student in your family. Check backpacks for the directory! Thank you for you patience as we switched publishers.

Parent/Teacher Conferences are on October 21. An email went out today from Mrs. Shaw with the SignUpGenius. Signups will close on October 17. If you are unable to schedule a conference because slots are full, please email your child's teacher to schedule a time.

Tomorrow, October 13, is a schoolwide spirit day. Students may come out of uniform but must wear SLS shirts only (spirit shop, field day, PE, etc.) 5-6 grade athletes are encouraged to wear their sports jersey. Shirts must be worn under sleeveless or mesh jerseys. There is no cost to participate in this day.

Interested in baseball or just want to sharpen your skills this fall? Come out and participate in the Fall SLS Baseball Clinic for 1st - 4th Graders on November 5 from 2:30-5:00 PM. The team of experienced coaches will be teaching the fundamentals of Throwing, Catching, Fielding, Hitting, and Base Running and providing drills that can be replicated at home during the winter as you prepare for Spring Baseball. See Wednesday Wire for sign up information.
