Innisbrook Fundraiser Underway

Our Innisbrook Fundraiser is underway.  All orders must be entered on the Innisbrook website (see our Innisbrook page for online ordering info).  If you do not have internet access, please return your completed order form to school.  The deadline for entering orders is Wednesday, September 16th. 

Parking/Carpool

Mrs. Derrick along with the Forest Acres Police and our Satchel Ford neighbors would like to remind us of the following:

 

*

Do not drop your child off on the side of the road (even if you're in the carpool lane).  Either walk him/her to the building or go all the way through the carpool lane.

*

If you park and walk, please make sure you are parked LEGALLY - with the flow of traffic.

*

Do not block, park in or turn around in our neighbors' driveways.

*

Do not park on our neighbors' grass.

*

Do not perform 3-point turns or U-turns in the middle of the road.

 

The Forest Acres Police Officers are ready to issue citations for the above and many other violations.  Mrs. Derrick has asked them to hold off so we may encourage our parents to be more mindful of the correct procedures, of our neighbors and of our students' safety.

2008-2009 Yearbooks Still Available

For returning students who forgot to buy one or for new students who need help putting faces with names; we still have a few yearbooks available from last year. They are $20 and can be purchased from Ms. Gina Morris or Mrs. Pati Derrick.

New Parents - Don't Forget

Each volunteer who will spend time with the kids (classroom activities, chaperoning field trips, etc.) must complete two forms required by the district.  If you haven't completed the forms, please download them from our Volunteers page and submit BOTH of them to the Satchel Ford front  office.  You do not need to submit the $15 fee for the DSS Application.  The district will pay this fee for you.

Become a Business Partner!

Satchel Ford depends on our business and community partners to enhance the education programs for our children.  Business Partners contribute to the community spirit of Satchel Ford and truly have a positive impact on our school.  If you are interested in becoming a Satchel Ford Business Partner, please download the Business Partner form or contact Erin Crawford or Phyllis McElveen.
