Already Complete If you are feeling only the rigor and none of the joy that comes from being a part of our SA community, be sure to reach out to your teacher, join us on Facebook, and maybe make an appointment to stop by the school during the day. Online, you can find where families are gathering, answers to common questions, and more pictures and videos. Currently, there is a video of Mr. Dant having hot chocolate with first graders, photos of spirit day costumes, and reminders about upcoming tests. Join us!
