-We’ve been teaching students this week how to use their chromebooks to get onto SORA to check out eBooks, eMagazines, and audiobooks. With parental permission, they can get onto their accounts at home on their family’s devices that access the internet (smart phone, iPad, laptop, computer, etc) and I’ve attached instructions on how to do this. Please encourage your child to read and help them access SORA.

Always Keep the Spirit of a Mustang!

KINDNESS WEEK RECAP
Last week, we celebrated Kindness at East Sandy Elementary!  Our PTA had a blast writing positive affirmations in chalk with students during recess to remind them to use kind words with themselves and others!  Thursday, students enjoyed stories of resilience and kindness during a BMX assembly with Stand4Kind and to wrap up the week we shared a 5-4-3-2-1 Calming Technique to teach students that calm minds lead to kind thoughts and actions. Thank you to our students, teachers, staff and families that help show KINDNESS in our school!
