Principal’s Message
-by Suzanne Morris - Sherer
Dear Side Creek Parents/Guardians,
It is that time of the year when we start to think about which students would benefit from the 23 additional days of instruction in Fifth Block.
I have provided the general information for you to read. Teachers will be making their recommendations to me in January, and students will be invited in February. Some additional areas that are of high consideration in selecting students for this opportunity are the following: no discipline issues and students with good attendance records. If you have questions about Fifth Block, please feel free to contact me so that I can answer your questions. More information about the Fifth Block is contained in the document link below.
Thanks,
Suzanne Morris-Sherer
