Good evening, Sutter families.  I hope your kids enjoyed our first spirit day and dance of the year!

Club Rush:  Come to the quad on September 29th during lunch to find the club that best fits you.  There are MANY clubs to choose from.  Meet the adviser and see if you want to take advantage of this opportunity for you to participate at Sutter.  There is something for EVERYONE!!  

Dine out Night: Our first PTSO dine out night is with The Federalist Pizza on Thursday, Sept 29th from 5-10pm. They will give $5 back on each pizza sold.  Please mention Sutter so we are sure they know to give us credit!  

Basketball Tryouts: Please fill out  this Google form link if your child is interested in trying out for one of our basketball teams.  Tryouts will begin the week of October 10th.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our athletic director, Chris Latino at  Christopher-latino@scusd.edu . 

Please make sure that all 3 sports participation forms (see below) are submitted PRIOR to tryouts or your child will not be allowed to tryout.  You can submit these forms to our main office or you can email them to  Natasha-Brown@scusd.edu . Once on file, these forms will be sufficient for any and all school sports for the 2022-2023 school year.  

Team Sport Forms:    Physical Form,  Team Participation Form  and  Concussion Form

Make up Picture Day: For those of you that missed picture day on Monday, make up picture day is on Monday, October 17th.

Join the PTSO:   The Sutter PTSO raises money to support programs that make Sutter the special place that it is. This includes purchasing supplies, equipment, and technology, supporting the amazing school events, and promoting extracurricular activities for students. 100% of your donation will go to these programs. Simply  fill out this form   and make a donation via check, PayPal, or our new Sutter Venmo account.

LCFF Forms:   Please take a couple of minutes to fill out your   LCFF application to ensure maximum funding for our school. This information is kept private and is used to determine school funding levels.  Only one application per household is needed. Please fill this out as soon as possible.

PSAT 8/9:   In looking ahead, all 8th graders will have the opportunity to take the PSAT 8/9 on October 12th.  Students will follow a modified schedule that day for testing (The start and end times for school will remain the same). The PSAT 8/9 is a part of the SAT Suite of Assessments. This test offers an opportunity to establish a baseline of student knowledge and can be used as a check-in for college readiness.  The content of the test is designed to assess knowledge and skills most necessary for college and career success and reflects the work they are already doing in school, so there is no need for students to study for this test.  Here is a link to help prepare for the assessment if you would like  https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/pdf/psat-8-9-student-guide.pdf  More information will be forthcoming.

 

Yearbook Photos: Help our yearbook staff, and submit school appropriate photos on our Sutter website! Think spirit days, athletic events, clubs and more!  Your picture may end up in the yearbook!!   https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Eujpcia4dMx58EIqPhxRnzqWmsnB75aO/view?usp=sharing 

Yearbook Cover Contest:  Are you an artist?  Do you love to draw?  Are you creative?  Participate in the Yearbook Cover (FRONT AND BACK) Contest and submit your artwork that represents the theme “Stay Golden”!   Imagine this…your artwork can be the one chosen to be on the front and back cover of the yearbook for all to admire!  Here are the guidelines for the contest.  You may also visit the website or find the posters on campus to see the specific guidelines.  All submissions are due on Wednesday, October 12th to Mrs. Zarate’s teacher box in the office.  See Mrs. Zarate or Mrs. Noguchi in room 111 if you have any questions.

Good afternoon, incoming 7th grade families! Tomorrow, August 25th is our orientation date (9:00 am Last Name A-L and 12:00 pm Last Name M-Z). The district revised the extracurricular event guidance as of yesterday, so it now aligns with the face masking requirements. It is still strongly advised that families face masks indoors, but it is not required.
