Hello Sudie Families!


Thank you to all of our families who helped plan and facilitate our fabulous field day this past Friday! We also wanted to extend our gratitude to our PTA for helping us celebrate our terrific teachers last week!


As we look forward towards the last couple of weeks of the school year below are a few reminders:


Middle School ACP Exams are on Wednesday May 20th and Thursday May 21st.

Chromebook Collection Day is Friday May 22nd: All students should have their chromebooks and chargers ready to turn into Mrs. Garnica.

All students who checked out a Yondr pouch at the beginning of the school year will need to return their Yondr pouch on the last day of school. Students who lost or damaged their Yondr pouch will need to pay for a replacement using this link: http://tinyurl.com/SudieTAGRevtrak 

We will only have Early Release on the Last Day of School Wednesday May 27th at 12:15 pm.


We are excited over these last few weeks to celebrate a great school year with each grade at their end of year parties, as well as mark the accomplishments of our 5th grade students as they bridge to middle school and our 8th grade students as they elevate to high school!


Thank you for your support of our students, staff and the Sudie community!
