Elementary School
Friday, February 6th, join us for Family Friday Lunch featuring Chick-fil-A. CLICK HERE to place your order. Parents and guests may use the same link as students to order meals, but separate orders are required for each student. No other lunch options will be available, so please send your student with lunch or be prepared to bring one if you do not order. Order deadline: Monday, February 2nd by 11:45 pm. No late orders accepted.
SACS Elementary Library is excited to welcome award-winning author and SACS alum, Carolyn Leiloglou on January 23rd! She will be visiting with our 3rd–5th grade students. Click the flyer for event details and the opportunity to order copies of The Restorationists to be signed by the author.
Dads and special guests, save the date: PTF Devotions with Dad is Friday, January 30th at 7:00 AM in the elementary gym. Our own Coach Austin Smithey, father of a third and fifth grader, will be our guest speaker.
Uniform options for colder weather: ONLY the maroon fleece, gray quarter zip, or maroon cardigan are allowed to be worn inside the building (for uniformity purposes). Non-uniform, cold weather items sold in the Lion Shoppe and any other jacket may be worn outside. For added warmth, girls may wear black tights or leggings under their skort or jumpers. Long sleeve undershirts worn with short sleeved uniform shirts must be white. Hats, gloves, scarves, etc. may be worn to school but must be stored in backpacks and not worn while students are in the building.
Please remember to label your child’s belongings (including jackets, fleece, sweaters) with their FIRST and LAST name!
Recess on cold weather days: We will go outside for recess if the temperature is above 40 degrees and it also “feels like” (weather app descriptor) 40 degrees or above. With cold weather, we require the students to wear their jackets outside. However, if they warm up, they may take it off. Most days, even with the cooler weather, God’s beautiful sunshine warms us up and it’s great to get outside to run and play and get our energy out!If your child forgets their jacket, we might have an extra to loan them, but we will still go outside.
If your student will be absent or plans to be absent, please email both your student’s teacher and the ES Office at esoffice@sachristian.org, including your student’s name and teacher in the message. Also copy the ES Nurses at esnurse@sachristian.org if due to illness.
