Principal's Message

Good evening Sutter families, this is Cristin Tahara. 

Sutter Dine Out Night:   Our PTSO restaurant night is tonight from 5-9 pm at the Federalist Public House.  Yummy Food + Supporting Sutter = Awesome  https://federalistpublichouse.com/ 

Halloween Spirit Day: Dress in your BEST costume tomorrow, October 29th, and join us in the quad at lunch for a special costume contest!  Please make sure your child’s costume is appropriate for the school environment.  Costume masks should not be used instead of a COVID-19 compliant face-covering and costume masks that cover a student’s face are not appropriate to wear during school hours.  Costumes or props that suggest, or depict violence, are also not allowed. Our Sutter staff is looking forward to getting dressed up in this year’s staff costume theme, food! 

Minersgiving 2021: As students and staff transition back to our campus community, it has been a school year unlike any other. We are continuously looking for ways to support all students during this time and we need your help! The Minersgiving event is coming up and is the biggest fundraiser of the school year! Funds raised from this event will be used to pay for yearly planners for every student, technology, athletic equipment for our sports teams, graduation medals and plaques, and general classroom supplies. For this fundraiser, all students will have the opportunity to collect cash/check donations. With progressive prize levels and cumulative donations, students will be eligible to earn prizes. Click here to view.  

Winter Wonderland Dance: We are continuing to plan for our Winter Wonderland dance on Thursday, December 9th.  The dance is currently scheduled to be outdoors from 5-7 pm, if there are any changes to the health and safety guidelines, the exact time may change if we are allowed to be indoors.  

Current Sutter students only can attend this event.  Attendees are required to show proof of full COVID-19 vaccination or negative results test within 72 hours of the dance. The ticket interest/verification form must be filled out in advance of ticket purchase. 

EACH INDIVIDUAL PLANNING TO ATTEND THE DANCE MUST FILL OUT THIS FORM  & INDICATE INTENTION TO BUY A TICKET/AND UPLOAD VERIFICATION IF AVAILABLE IN ADVANCE OF TICKET PURCHASE – NO EXCEPTIONS. CLICK HERE: WINTER WONDERLAND DANCE INTEREST/VERIFICATION FORM

Sutter Visitations for Current 6th Graders:   For those of you who know of 6th grade families that are interested in attending Sutter next year, they can attend one of our virtual visitation presentations .  If guidance changes and we are allowed at some point to have in person visitations, I will make announcements.

High School Information:  Here is an updated flyer from Rosemont High School  about their visitations.

Thank you and have a great evening!

Good evening Sutter families, this is Cristin Tahara.

PSAT 8/9: Here is a  link to the approved calculator list for the PSAT 8/9 on October 13th that all 8th graders will be taking. Students are encouraged to bring this with them on Wednesday to use.  The entire school will be following a modified schedule to accommodate testing, but the start and end times of school are the same 8:18-2:32.  Your child should have been notified by their 2nd period teacher where to meet for the testing period. If they haven’t heard yet, please have them ask their 2nd period teacher.

LCFF:  Sac City Unified, like all districts in California, receives state funds to operate our schools based on the number of students enrolled in our district, and on the socio-economic status of our students. This formula is called the Local Control Funding Formula, or LCFF. The state LCFF process is the main source of funding for our schools.

We want to ensure that our district receives every dollar of state funding that our students deserve. This is why we ask every family to complete and submit an LCFF Application. Without this application, Sutter Middle School may not receive the funding it is entitled to.

We need an application for every student. 

If you have not returned your LCFF Application, please do so by completing the online application at https://www.scusd.edu/lcffapp 

If you have already turned in your LCFF Application, please accept the district’s deepest gratitude.
