Win a Nintendo Switch for Your Child
Attention Dalmatian families,
We have some exciting news to share. Your child has a chance of winning a Nintendo Switch! Read-A-Thon is giving away one Nintendo Switch per school. Your child can enter the drawing by raising $100 in donations during our Read-A-Thon.
Help your child raise $100 or more by the end of our Read-A-Thon
Here's how it works:
1. If you haven't already, create your child's Read-A-Thon account
2. Share the message through text messages, email, and Facebook using the easy prebuilt tool on your child's dashboard
3. Watch the donation dollars come in
4. Each $100 raised gets one entry in a schoolwide drawing
Help support our school and your child!
Thank you!

PK and Kinder will be participating in the SISD ESL Academy which will provide language enrichment opportunities.
EELA will serve students in 3rd-5th to provide language enrichment opportunities.
Most importantly, scholars who have more than 5 absences will be able to meet promotion requirements.
