SAIL Open House and Family Dinner (Flyer Coming Soon)

SAIL High School's Open House is Monday, September 18^th at 6:00 pm. Parents will learn about some of the exciting plans we have for the upcoming school year, as well as briefly meet their students' teachers by following their child's bell schedule. This will give parents an opportunity to learn about the class curriculum, teacher expectations, and all SAIL has to offer. Prior to Open House, SAIL's PTSO will be hosting a SAIL Family Dinner at 5:15 pm for a nominal fee. More information will be coming soon on pricing and meal options.

• NOTE: As parents' time will be brief in classrooms, opportunities for one-on-one conferences will be limited. We strongly encourage parents with individual questions about student grades or progress reach out to their student's teacher via email.

 

Annual Schoolwide Wakulla Springs Field Trip (Flyer and Permission Form Coming Soon)

It has been a long-standing tradition of taking a schoolwide trip to Wakulla Springs for students to experience firsthand the beauty of nature. Students will go on nature walks and have the option to swim. The trip is tentatively scheduled for Friday, September 22^nd. We will be using Leon County Transportation, leaving the school at 9:30 and returning at 1:30. Pizza and drinks will be provided. There is NO cost for this trip, however, a signed and completed permission form must be submitted to the front office. If your student is not planning to attend the trip, we will have an on-campus activity for those that want to remain on campus.
