Ranger's Report
While it is hard to believe, this will be the final week of school for the 2025-2026 school year! Over the course of our year I've been impressed with the imagination, dedication, friendship, and passion that the Sabertooths have demonstrated each and every day! The year may be coming to an end, but adventure is still out there!

On Monday, our sixth graders will be wrapping up their time in elementary school during Sixth Grade Celebration! Make sure that your sixth grader is coming to school wearing clothing that can get dirty and wet. You'll also want to make sure they are wearing sunscreen and good shoes!

On Tuesday, each of the Sabertooths will be celebrating the end of the school year as they participate in Super Field Day. This is another day where you'll want to ensure that your child comes to school wearing clothing that can get dirty and wet, wearing sunscreen, and with with water to drink.

Thursday is the final day of the school year, and school ends at 12:45 p.m. If you've got a student in sixth grade, you're invited to join us on the lower-grade (souther) playground beginning at 12:30 p.m. as we line up to cheer on our sixth graders as they leave elementary school for the last time!

This week also represents the FINAL opportunity to have your children take a look through the Lost and Found for any items that may have gone missing over the course of the school year. After school ends, items that remain in the Lost and Found will be donated to charitable causes.

We'd also like to remind those of you who have negative lunch account balances to get those accounts settled! Negative balances that remain on the books have to be paid off by the school before they are turned over to collections. Not only do we want to avoid sending any families to collections, we want to avoid tying up funds that will negatively impact the education of the children at the school!

This newsletter is also special because it will be the final newsletter I write for the Southland community. Luckily, I get the privilege of officially introducing you to the lovely and talented Mrs. Gandara who will kick off the 2026-2027 school year as Southland's new principal. You'll find her letter of introduction attached to this week's ParentSquare message!
