Dear Sedalia families,

Welcome to HomeNotes, your monthly newsletter from the office of Sedalia Elementary. Now that school is in full swing we have plenty of news to share with you. Please read on to find out all that is happening here at Sedalia.
From the Desk of Mr. Pease

I would like to thank all of you for the warm welcome I have received here at Sedalia. Over the summer months everyone I talked to shared how special the Sedalia community is. Now that I'm a part of it I realize that it's great to be a Cruiser!

I am not the only new staff member at Sedalia. Several others have joined the team with me. They are:

  • Andy Ling, School Improvement Coordinator
  • Kim Robbins, Kindergarten
  • Samantha Morris, Kindergarten
  • Kim White, Kindergarten
  • Jessica Hines, 5th Grade
  • Adie Tyler, Special Education
  • Cassie Harr, School Nurse
  • Kim Anderson, Kitchen
  • Lorraine Jones, Kitchen

Thank you again and have a great October.

Mr. Pease

All buses will run 2 hours later.
No Birthday Treats Please!

At Sedalia we enjoy a good birthday treat as much as anyone. However, with so many of our students having food allergies and other health concerns, we cannot have birthday treats in the room. If treats are brought to school for birthdays we will not distribute them to the students. We want to assure that all of our kids are free from the worry of food allergies.

Please talk with your child's teacher about alternative ideas. Many parents bring in small tokens for the class, donate a book to the class library or spend time reading to the students. While we still want to celebrate birthdays, we just can't do it with food and treats. Thank you for your cooperation.
