#FluClinic #HealthyStudents #SabalPalmElementary


Sabal Palm families and community members — your voice matters! Our School Advisory Council (SAC) and Parent Teacher Association (PTA) play a vital role in shaping decisions about our school, including budget priorities, staffing needs, and new programs. We’re looking at ways to make these meetings more accessible, including holding SAC and PTA meetings together and adding student grade-level performances to celebrate our students throughout the year.
Please take a quick moment to complete our short survey — your feedback will help us plan meeting times, topics, and supports so more families can participate.

Family Safety Reminder
At Sabal Palm, the safety of our students and staff is always our top priority. To help us maintain a secure environment, please keep the following procedures in mind when visiting our campus:
Bring your photo ID – All visitors must present a valid ID to enter the building. No pictures of your ID will be accepted.
Front Office Greeting – When you arrive, you will be greeted by our staff and asked how we can assist you.
ID Verification Before Entry – You will be asked to show your ID to the front office camera before being buzzed inside.
Plan Ahead – Please allow extra time when visiting, especially for campus-wide events, as ID checks may take longer with a higher volume of visitors.
We thank you in advance for your cooperation and partnership in keeping our Flamingo Family safe and secure. 💗🦩

📚 How the Parent Playbook is Different from the Monthly Parent Newsletter
We now have two ways to keep you connected — each with a different purpose:
Parent Playbook
- Quick-reference guide for the next two weeks
- Bulleted, easy to scan, focused on logistics and key reminders
- Perfect for daily planning and “at-a-glance” info you need right now
- Sent every one-two weeks
Monthly Parent Newsletter
- Deeper dive into school culture, student/staff highlights, and big-picture updates
- More photos, stories, and celebrations
- Explains the “why” behind our programs and initiatives
- Sent once a month
💡 How We’ll Use Them Together
Think of the Parent Newsletter as your magazine — full of stories and inspiration — and the Parent Playbook as your game plan — your cheat sheet for the next one-two weeks. Together, they’ll make sure you never miss an important detail and always feel connected to the heart of Team Sabal.
Let’s make it a great start — All In, All Year! 💙🦩
