Exploring New Frontiers in Learning A blog devoted to news, events, and thoughts at the wonderful learning community at Sacajawea Elementary School in Caldwell, Idaho.
In honor of our school lunch heroes we had a little parade through our lunch serving line. These ladies keep serving our kids and families, even while we are all needing to stay home. See Video Below.

Thanks to the SAC staff, volunteers, and families for participating. Thanks to the Caldwell PD for their help.
Here are a few very special messages from some of our students.
Next week is teacher appreciation week, and we want to give all of our students a chance to show their teacher how much they appreciate them. Mrs. Hernandez helped compile the pics a few of our families have shared.

We tried something a little different for our April Skyhawk Awards "Lunch," since we are all at home. Kids and families joined with teachers to recognize a couple kids in each class.
We are so proud of the way each of our kids and families is adapting to this challenging time for our community. I'm also so proud of the way our teachers and staff have flexed to do the "rightest thing" for each student and their family during this time.
We recorded each grade level session. This is the first time I have done something like this, so the recordings are sometimes not the quality that I would hope for. The kids and families, however, represent everything we could hope for. Thanks for joining us. Feel free to share these videos with your friends and relatives.
Thank you to the Caldwell Public Library and to Book It Forward. We were able to give away two books for every kid yesterday. We will do the same today.
The staff at Sacajawea Elementary misses their students! We put together this video to let you know how much we miss you. We care about you and we believe in you! You can count on us! We miss your happy, smiling faces and we hope you and your families are safe, healthy, and doing well.
Keep being your awesome selves! #SkyhawkStrong
Your Sacajawea Family

Hi, I am Mrs. Hernandez, and am the Community School Resource Coordinator at Sacajawea Elementary. One of my biggest roles at Sacajawea is helping connect families to resources that are in our wonderful Caldwell community, and beyond. With school closures, connecting with families has been super important, but I am sure I am missing a few. So in order to make sure everyone has access to all the information we’ve been working on collecting for you, we’ve made a web page with all of those resources. It also has information on what a Community School is.
I am working hard, alongside your teachers, principal, and our amazing Sac staff to ensure that you are okay during these difficult times. Please visit my web page for information on community resources here at Sacajawea Community School Resource Page. For more information or questions please feel free to contact me at hhernandez1@caldwellschools.org or 208-455-3333 ext 1439 (This extension will still work while the school is closed). You can also fill out our Sacajawea Family Check-In to make sure we know any needs or challenges your family has right now. Stay Safe and Healthy everyone! Mrs. Hernandez ______
Hola, soy la Sra. Hernández y soy la coordinadora de recursos de la escuela comunitaria en la primaria Sacajawea. Una de mis principales funciones en Sacajawea es ayudar a conectar a las familias con los recursos que se encuentran en nuestra maravillosa comunidad de Caldwell y más allá. Con el cierre de las escuelas, conectarse con las familias ha sido súper importante, pero estoy segura de que me faltan algunas. Entonces, para asegurarnos de que todos tengan acceso a toda la información que hemos estado recopilando para usted, hemos creado una página web con todos esos recursos. También tiene información sobre qué es una escuela comunitaria.
Estoy trabajando duro, junto con sus maestros, principales y nuestro increíble personal de Sac para asegurar que estén bien durante estos tiempos difíciles.
Para obtener más información o preguntas, no dude en comunicarse conmigo en hhernandez1@caldwellschools.org o 208-455-3333 ext 1439 (Esta extensión seguirá funcionando mientras la escuela está cerrada).
También puede completar nuestro Check-in familiar de Sacajawea para asegurarse que conozcamos cualquier necesidad o desafío que su familia tenga en este momento.
