Falcon Flyer for Families!
March 4-March 8, 2024
Falcon Families!
We had an amazing performance Thursday for our Black History Month Program! Special thanks to Ms. Dawson, our Dean of Students, along with Mr. C.T. Kirk who inspired everyone! Our students did a wonderful job in organizing and performing in the program--especially our Sullivan Band, Chorus, Drama, and Art. We are thankful for all the work and such a super performance.
We have two weeks remaining in this quarter, and teachers will close grades out by March 15 in order to submit Quarter 3 grades on time. Please make sure to check PowerSchool for grade and attendance updates. Reach out to teachers and teams if there are specific questions; you can speak to counselors and grade level administration, as well.
Make it a great week, Falcons!

SIC--Sullivan Teacher for A Day!
Want to know how the school day looks from “inside”? SIC invites all parents and Sullivan friends to participate in a “Teacher for the Day” program being held on March 20, 2024! We view this occasion as a chance for parents and community partners to experience the normal day-to-day operations of teachers in an effort to build empathy and explore additional opportunities for collaboration.
If you choose to participate you will be paired with a Sullivan teacher and will shadow their routine from approximately 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM. You will then join us for a debrief with the SIC team. The day will conclude by 11 AM.
Please use this link to show your interest in participating. You will not be placed in a classroom with your own child.
Thanks for considering taking part in this unique learning opportunity,
The Sullivan SIC
Safety Screenings
K-9 Officer Locke and Rocky!
Meet Officer Locke and Rocky! They visited this week to help us with our random safety screening. We are thankful for their help, and they visit on a monthly basis. Thank you, too, to Officer Dixon, SSO Womack, and our Safety and Security team!
Talented Teachers!
We have some amazing and talented teachers at Sullivan! Ms. Peavy is a 6th grade ELA teacher, and she is an outstanding example of top-notch classroom management with providing a warm and engaging environment! She always has a positive and welcoming attitude with her students and colleagues on a daily basis.
Next, we are very proud of our 7th grade Science Department! Ms. Fletcher, Mr. Kachuwaire, and Ms. Parris' classes outperformed the other middle schools on district benchmarks one and two! We can't wait to see what are students are able to accomplish at the end of the year as a result of their classes! Way to go!
Night of the Arts!
Mrs. Rubinstien and the Arts department are in search of a committee of volunteers to help organize the upcoming Night of the Arts on April 23rd. If you are interested in lending a hand, please fill out the following form.
Some of the tasks we are looking to organize include a silent auction, a food truck, art sales, assistance with art club students, week-of assembling, and day-of assistance. We may meet all together in person once or twice to organize ourselves, then divvy up.
