SENSE Charter

Rescheduled Meet! The meet that was cancelled on August 29th has been rescheduled for September 10th at Enlace Academy at 5:30! Make sure your runner has their uniform, tennis shoes, and water bottle. If you have any questions, feel free to message Ms. Settle at psettle@senseindy.org.

Mrs. Fisher’s 4th grade class “Shouted Out” their classmates 76 times in the month of August. Each month they do a drawing for Class Coupons and this is this months winners.

It is fun with a purpose, with hands-on learning and achievement for the boys in SENSE Charter School’s Cub Scout troop, Pack 18. The boys are from grades 1st-3rd. The boys are building their own catapults from a kit. All the scouts at SENSE Charter are able to participate free of charge through the generosity of the Lilly Endowment. This is great investment in a child’s education and future. There is a wait list for this Club. If you are interested in being a Scout leader please email Kate Voss at kvoss@senseindy.org

WILD ANIMAL SAFARI FAMILY WORKSHOP Help us prep for the Art Parade Thursday September 6th 4:00-6:00 pm – Art Room 305 We will be once again participating in the Fountain Square Art Parade. This year we will be marching to a wild beat and dress ourselves as animals to show we are WILD for SENSE! Please join us for a workshop to create props and decorations for the parade; including animal masks. If you cannot join us for the workshop, please come to the parade on Saturday September 15th. Contact Kate Voss at kvoss@senseindy.org or call Ms. Hernandez at 317.423.0204. We hope to see you there for the big fun!

Tomorrow, SENSE is closed for the Labor Day Holiday! Enjoy! School resumes on Tuesday, September 4th. Doors open at 7:30 for Breakfast and classes start at 8:15am.

Change to AFTERNOON Transportation procedure. The construction on Shelby is going to block off the exit for the buses in the afternoons, so we will be moving Bus Pickup to the Front of the School (Pick up Only). The new process will start next Tuesday, Sept 4, 2018. 1. Car Rider Parents will stay in the parking lot and students will be loaded there. a. Students will gather in the New Cafeteria (by the front office) b. A Staff member will radio students to the Parking lot and load there. 2. Picker Upper and Walker Students will be dismissed to the OLD Cafeteria. (by the old front entrance) i. They will exit out that door and be directed towards the north Cross walk if needed. ii. Parents should wait by the old front entrance rather than by the new one. 3. Buses will line up in the “cut out”, in front of the school (on Barth), please do not block that area. This should have little or no impact on our SENSE Neighbors on Barth. At most there might be one bus staged just south of the parking lot, but not in front of any homes. THERE ARE NO CHANGES TO THE MORNING DROP Off.

Today in Mrs. Fisher’s class they reviewed multiplication properties playing a game called “Link 4 Dinosaurs” which is a twist on the game Connect Four!

Congratulations to the SENSE Girls Volleyball team and their coaches on a victory tonight!!!

Thank you Sara and James Baumann, from his job at Star Packaging for our new trashcans on the playground!!

She saw a need. And rose to it! Sara Helton donated two trash cans to SENSE when she saw trash accumulating on our school playground. One trash can is now in our playground area and the other will be placed where needed. She received the donation from her father, James Baumann, from his job at Star Packaging. Helton is pictured her with her daughter Trista.
