Thank you for supporting your student through a great first week of school and throughout our beginning of year I-Ready testing! We have also enjoyed seeing our students representing Sankofa’s Vision, Logra’s Achievement, Esempio’s Example and Duma’s Pride. Our House Council has been working hard throughout this week to prepare for House Sorting where we get to welcome everyone into the Houses that pave the way for our Lion’s success!
We hope your family is able to join us this Thursday evening virtually at 6:00 pm for our Activity Fair so that your Sudie Lion can have endless opportunities to explore their passions and develop their leadership!
Next week on Thursday we will be having student picture day! Students are invited to dress in their picture day best but must continue to be in compliance with the Dallas ISD dress code. Of course your student is also welcome to wear their normal Sudie uniform for picture day as well.
