The end of the year is an exciting time because summer is right around the corner! But we still have six weeks of school left and academic goals to meet! To help keep students focused and on track, teachers are recognizing hard work, on-task behavior, and good character with tickets! Tickets go in drawings for prizes! Let’s get to work! There are 29 prizes up for grabs (and one of those prizes is a Nintendo Switch)!

SGE's ADA for this past week was 95.73%!

ADA stands for Average Daily Attendance and is defined as the total days of student attendance divided by the total days of instruction. "98 IS Great!", so 98% is our goal!

An important piece in the family-school partnership is staying aware of student performance. It is requested that parents view and electronically sign progress reports and report cards. See the directions below, and be sure to get those signatures in! In addition, parents are encouraged to regularly view grades in Skyward.

A parent must provide an explanation for any absence within 5 days of the student’s arrival or return to school. The student must submit a note signed by the parent. The campus may accept an email from the parent sent to the school’s attendance clerk, but reserves the right to require a written note. The form below will send an email to SGE's Attendance Clerk and then the campus will determine whether to classify the absence as excused or unexcused.
