January Science & Engineering Fair Socials
Exciting news! Our January Socials will include regional science and engineering fairs for our TK-8th grade students. You can look forward to science fair presentations, STEM activities, science-based vendors, and connecting with teachers and other Sage Oak students.

First and second place TK-8th grade regional winners will advance to the school-wide Science & Engineering Fair on Friday, February 24th in Rancho Cucamonga. High school participants will not participate in regional competitions and will complete the entry form in order to participate in the school-wide fair only. The expectation is that TK-8th grade students who enter a regional competition will commit to participating in the school-wide competition if they earn first or second place. Check out the Sage Oak Science & Engineering Fair Planning Guide and click below for the Science & Engineering Fair entry form. All entry forms for TK-12th graders must be submitted no later than Friday, December 16th. We can’t wait to see what our Future STEM World Changers come up with!

Counseling Classes: Quarter 2
Parent Webinar: Thursday, November 17 at 4:00 pm
Does your child experience feelings of stress or anxiety? It’s normal to feel anxious but when feelings become all-consuming or disruptive to everyday routines, it can feel upsetting or even debilitating.

This workshop will focus on helping your child break free from feelings of anxiety. You will learn what anxiety looks and feels like and reflect on your thoughts, behaviors, and parenting practices. We will discuss ready-to-apply strategies and long-term techniques to support your children in coping with their anxiety. Additionally, we’ll discuss when and how to collaborate with your school counselors and seek additional support for your child. Click here to join and/or here to register and receive event reminders.
