Semitropic Elementary School District

Dear Parents and Guardians of 3rd Grade Students, January 31, 2025 We hope you are doing well. We are writing to inform you of an important change that will affect your child’s 3rd-grade class for the remainder of the school year. Due to a staffing transition, we will be combining the 3rd-grade class with the 4th-grade class. This means your child’s class will be taught as a 3rd/4th-grade combination class. Mrs. Fields, who is an experienced and familiar educator to many of our students, will be teaching the combined class. We are confident that Mrs. Fields’ leadership and dedication will provide a supportive and enriching learning environment for all students. She will work closely with both 3rd and 4th graders to ensure that each child’s educational needs are met. This change comes in light of Mr. Wolff’s resignation from his position as the 8th-grade teacher. As a result, Mrs. Sabala will be transitioning to the 8th-grade classroom next month. While we know this shift may raise some questions, we want to reassure you that we are committed to providing a smooth transition and maintaining a high standard of education for your child. We understand that combining grades may feel like a significant change, but we believe it will create valuable opportunities for collaboration, learning, and growth for all students. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the school office. We are here to support you and your child through this transition. Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

We had a fun filled first Saturday school! Students had some one on one reading and math support. Lego challenges, painting and played sports. They really enjoyed themselves and want to know when the next Saturday school is!
