Dear Parents,
It was wonderful to see our parent community this morning for SIA's Annual Parent Breakfast in the Sukkah. A special thank you to our Parent Volunteer Organization for sponsoring this wonderful community, Kehillah, event!
Please note: There is a NOON DISMISSAL – Monday, September 27, 2021 for Erev Sukkot and FULLCARE and SIA Sundown will close at 4:00pm. There is no school on Tuesday, September 28 and Wednesday, September 29 in observance of Sukkot. Fullcare and JCC SDO are open on both of these days.
Please note: School Pictures were originally scheduled for Monday, October 4 – Wednesday, October 6, 2021, however they have been rescheduled due to a scheduling conflict for Monday, November 8 – Wednesday, November 10, 2021.
Parent-Teacher Conferences can help develop a successful partnership between parents and teachers, an important aspect of your child's academic and social achievement. Teachers and parents can use this time to establish a rapport and develop a common goal that focuses on helping your child have the best school experience possible. Parent-teacher conferences will take Monday, October 11, 2021 from 8:30am – 3:00pm and Tuesday, October 12, 2021 from 4:00pm- 7:00pm. Please make sure to sign up through ParentSquare!
Shabbat Shalom and Chag Sameach!
Below you will see some reminders for next week.
