Sagamore reference

This is a work in progress (as of 2013-07) to provide a comprehensive reference for Sagamore Hills Elementary School. Ideas here could influence official Sagamore sites.

Take a look at (and contribute to) Sagamore information inventory 2013, Sagamore communication, and whatever else you can find. Then, edit this to be all Sagamore answers to everyone. :)

FAQ

May a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions (the Internet age version of Q&As)) format would be good? List them here and maybe answer them too.

When does my child eat lunch (so I might join them)?

Since grades eat at different times, that answer isn't obvious.
