Scorpion Families,

I would like to take this opportunity to thank students and staff who rose to the challenge of participating at the Sansom Talent Gala this year! It was an amazing event, which gave students (and staff performers) an opportunity to share their talents with peers and greater Scorpion community. All of our students who participated should be extremely proud of the work they put into preparing for this event. Thank you also to Ms. Campagne, leadership students, and the Talent Show Committee for providing another great opportunity for our students to shine!

From May 27^th to 31^st, Sansom is celebrating Culture Week! Our goal is that this event promotes diversity, inclusion, kindness and mutual understanding among students, staff and the larger community. Culture Week allows students to connect with one another, share their cultures, and learn about others from around the world – at Sansom alone, we have students from over 50 countries. The impact of the Culture Week can be positive, educational, and transformative for all involved. See below for further information.

Request| Social Media         

 We would encourage all families to have open dialogue with their children about digital citizenship, safety on the internet, and general appropriate conduct online and offline. Respectfully, I ask you to double check your child’s apps, online presence and security settings. At the end of the day, if you own the device and pay for the device, you are responsible for the content and activities of the users of the device.
