Join us for the Back to School Open House on Monday, August 25th, from 5-6 p.m. We hope to see you there!
On Thursday, August 28th, kindergarten students will have the opportunity to ride the bus, meet their teachers, and visit the kindergarten classrooms. This can be in addition to or in place of the Back-to-School Open House. Buses will arrive at pick-up locations one hour after the typically scheduled time and bring incoming kindergarten students and a parent to Saccarappa from 9:30 to 10:00 a.m. Students who will not be riding the bus this year are still welcome to attend.
Welcome letters from classroom teachers have been sent out! Be sure to check your mail for this back-to-school information.
If you are an incoming kindergarten family and do not receive a letter, then your child's registration may not be complete. Please call Saccarappa's office after August 11th to finish the process.
Back to School Dates!

The Cheer Club is raffling it off as a fundraiser to support next year's cheer season. Each $10 raffle ticket will provide a future cheerleader with a t-shirt and bow.
The winner of the raffle will be chosen at the end of the End of Year Family Picnic on Monday evening. You do not need to be present to win. Tickets will be available for purchase during the picnic and can also be purchased online using the following link.
