Southern Hills Elementary

Members of 4H stayed after school for a pumpkin painting party. After some apple cider and treats, it was painting gone wild to get ready for the 4H pumpkin contest. Enjoy a look at the mid-point of pumpkin prep!

Welcome back, Vikings!

Good morning, Vikings! Caddo Schools are moving to the School Cash Online platform. Parents and guardians who already had students in Caddo and have an email registered in jcampus should have received an emailed link to register. If you have not received the link, please register here: https://caddoschools.schoolcashonline.com This is where you will pay fees, as well as complete permission slips for field trips throughout the year.

Dear Caddo Parents and Guardians, Please be advised that beginning June 1st, all Caddo Parish Public School campuses will be transitioning to a new phone system. Previous campus numbers will no longer be active after the transition. Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we upgrade our systems to better serve and communicate with our Caddo families!

Viking families are invited to stop by the school office from 9-12 and 1-4 to pick up free summer skill books Tuesday-Thursday this week, as well as Monday-Thursday through June 10th.

Thanks to John Taylor, for all he has done as a volunteer for our school. Tonight he was honored at the district as our Volunteer of the Year.

Friday, May 1: Buses 650 and 656 do not have a driver this afternoon. Please arrange pick up for your child. Thank you.

Spring pictures are this Friday. Students may wear spring attire that follows Caddo dress code.

If you have not yet registered your incoming prek student, online enrollment is open.

Great news! Book fair has been extended. While today, April 1, is the last day to make cash purchases, credit cards, tap, and ewallets may be used to purchase through Thursday, April 2.

Visit Southern Hills Elementary's book fair website to look through a digital flyer, set up an ewallet, or order from a wider selection directly to your home from online. (If you have specific titles you and your child have decided on together, please send a note or message Ms. Hadwin on dojo if you aren't able to come shop with them.) Family and friends of students are encouraged to set up an ewallet account to allow cash free shopping. These work like a gift card and allow budget limits without worrying about your student losing their cash along the way. If you are a supporter of our reading community and library who would like to spread the magic of book fair to all students, you invited to donate to our Share the Fair account through the book fair website. https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bf/southernhillselemschool1

Do you have a student to sign up for pre-k? There is a district wide pre-k round up on Friday, March 27th, so bring your paperwork and receive help with the online registration at the Wanda Gunn Center at Caddo's central office.

Don’t forget! Create a Book Fair eWallet for your child NOW so they can shop cash-free, worry-free, and independently! It’s easy to set up and easy for others to contribute funds! Start here: https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bf/southernhillselemschool1

Good Evening Parents/Guardians Southern Hills will continue virtual instruction on Tuesday due to ongoing water pressure issues in Shreveport. Lessons will be posted by 8 a.m. through your teacher's normal communication method. Students may access assignments via ClassLink at https://login.classlink.com/my/caddosd. Tech help: 318-364-1958.

Due to water pressure issues through the city, Southern Hills will have a virtual day tomorrow. If your child does not have access to a device to work on Zearn and Lexia, please have them work on their math facts. (Addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) Students on 2nd grade and up are working on their reading stamina— the goal is the ability to read 30 minutes without stopping. K-1 students who are new readers should be practicing with shorter texts. Have them read them three times each and watch how they improve. (The first time through is to decode the words, the second time is for fluency, and the third is for understanding.)
