-
Pick up your child within 30 minutes of being called, if your child is sick or needs something
-
Let your child’s teacher, principal or another trusted staff member know if you have any concerns, the sooner the better, so the concerns may be addressed
-
Know that the Sadler staff is going to look out for your children. Children do not need to fight at school. Adults will supervise and intercede at all times. Students need to put all their efforts into succeeding in the classroom. They need to fight for learning and reading and math. If you have a concern with safety, let the teacher know or let the principal know so they can help you fix the problem.

We want the same things. We want your children to be safe and learn and grow.
