Common Sense School Award Awarded to Sangster
Common Sense, the national nonprofit organization dedicated to helping kids and families thrive in a world of media and technology, has recognized Sangster Elementary as a Common Sense School.
Sangster has demonstrated its commitment to taking a whole-community approach to preparing its students to think critically and use technology responsibly to learn, create, and participate, while limiting the perils that exist in the online realm, such as plagiarism, loss of privacy, and cyberbullying. The recognition acknowledges our schools commitment creating a culture of digital citizenship.
Sangster has been using Common Sense Education's innovative and research-based digital citizenship resources. The resources teach students, educators, and parents tangible skills related to internet safety, protecting online reputations and personal privacy, media balance, managing online relationships, and media literacy. The free K-12 curriculum is used in classrooms across all 50 states, in more than 50,000 schools, by more than half a million educators.

LifeTouch Spring Pictures
If you have any questions regarding spring or class pictures, please call LifeTouch directly at 800-736-4753.
School Nutrition Accounts
Please remember to add money to your child’s school nutrition account. All accounts must be brought current before the end of the school year in June.
Communicable Illness
In an effort to help keep our students healthy, we would appreciate it if you would let the school know if your child has a communicable illness. You can do this by calling Ms. Fuller, our school’s health aid, or leaving the name of the illness (flu-like symptoms, strep throat) on the attendance line when you call in an absence. The other thing you can do that will make a significant impact on the spread of illness at Sangster is to keep your children at home until they are no longer contagious and are well enough to fully participate in all school activities.
New Student Registration
We are now accepting registrations for school year 2019-20 for all new students. Please call 703-644-8203 to set up an appointment asap. Registration packets may be picked up in the school front office during school hours.
Student Placements for 2019-2020
While it is still early to be thinking ahead to next year, we want to give you information about class placements for the 2019-20 school-year ahead of time. The staff at Sangster work hard to place students in an optimal learning situation each year. If you have some information that would help us make those decisions, please send your comments in writing to Ms. Reddel by June 1st. Please do not list teacher names. Rather, describe the learning environment in which your child learns best.
Positivity Project - Week of May 6th
This week students are learning about Leadership. Leadership: You value each member of your group and inspire people to do their best. Please be sure to ask your student what they are learning about.
Next week the students will be participating in lessons regarding: Other People Matter Mindset.
