I wanted to let you know in advance so you don’t make any appointments for your child during this testing window.  It is vital that your child is at school.

📚🍎 Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week: May 5th–9th! 🎉

Take a moment to show your gratitude to the amazing teachers and staff who pour their hearts into supporting and caring for our students every day. A simple note, small gift, or kind word can make a big impact! Let’s celebrate them and make sure they feel truly appreciated! 💙✨

🚀 5th Grade Awards & Rocket Day 🎓

Mark your calendars! The 5th-grade awards assembly will be held on May 15th at 10:00 AM in the Olan Graham Field House.

After celebrating our students’ achievements, get ready for an exciting Rocket Day! Rockets will be launched shortly after the 5th-grade lunch, around 12:30 PM. It’s a day of recognition and fun you won’t want to miss! 🎉

🎉 Field Day T-Shirt Orders & Volunteer Opportunities 🎉

Get ready for an exciting Field Day! T-shirt orders will open on April 22nd and must be submitted by April 29th. The fun-filled event will take place on Friday, May 16th!

Field Day is a beloved tradition at Sequoyah Elementary, and we need your help to make it a fantastic experience for the students! Each teacher will be leading games for their class, and volunteers are greatly appreciated. If you’re able to assist, please reach out to your child’s teacher as we get closer to the event.

You can choose to volunteer during:
☀️ Lower Grades' game time in the morning
🎈 Upper Grades' game time in the afternoon

Your support helps make this event special for all our students—thank you in advance! 💙

If you order a Field Day t-shirt, it will be sent home a few days before the event, so your child can wear it on the big day. Don't miss out on this exciting tradition—it's sure to be a day full of fun and memories!

Please continue to check the calendar on our website for upcoming events at Sequoyah Elementary.  We will keep this information up to date so you can make plans to attend any events that we schedule.

All transportation changes must be written on a note and given to your child's teacher, or you can call our receptionist, and she will notify the teacher. Please understand we cannot make changes any other way. Students are not allowed to inform their teacher of changes verbally. If you are calling to make a change, you must notify the front office by 1:50 pm.
