Be sure to label all serving bowls and platters to help ensure they get back to you or consider using disposable items.
POPCORN FRIDAY
Our next Popcorn Friday is coming up on, October 22, 2024.
For $25.00, parents can sponsor a class for the month which ensures each student gets a bag of popcorn! We still have nine classes that need a sponsor this month! If you are able, please visit our SECO store to sponsor a class.

RACCOON RUN PRIZES
Our amazing families raised over $45,000 for our Fall Raccoon Run! Everything we have raised goes right back into our school to help support our students, staff, and school. We would like to extend a big thank you to all those who helped make this event a success.
We have emailed those families whose students have earned one of the individual fundraising prizes (movie night invitation, silly string experience, and prize swag bags). Please be sure to check your spam folders for an email. If you did not receive an email, but your student raised over $100, please email seco@satocommunity.org as soon as possible.
We would like to say a final thank you to our amazing Fall 2024 Raccoon Run Sponsors!
SCHOOL DIRECTORY FOR FAMILIES
Many families have asked for ways to help share birthday party and play date invitations to classmates. To help provide a way for families to connect outside the school, SECO is organizing a school directory.
Directory information will be sorted by grade and password protected. Only families with a student in that grade will be provided the password to access the directory information. Directory information will include student's first and last name, grade and teacher as well as parent's first and last names, phone numbers and emails.
We understand that some families may wish to have some or all of their information excluded from this year's school directory. You can do so by completing the 2024/2025 Directory Information Opt-Out Form at any time.
We are hoping to launch the school directory this December. You can read more about the school directory here. If you have any questions about the school directory or how people can access the information, please email seco@satocommunity.org.
UPDATED STAFF FAVORITES LIST
With the holidays right around the corner, we wanted to share that we have the latest staff favorites list on our website! Sato staff members have shared their favorite color, snacks, drinks, office supplies and more! You can find the 2024-2025 Staff Favorites Lists here.
