This is a reminder that our PK, K, and 1st grade winter concert is tomorrow, December 17th at 9:30 AM. The concert is scheduled to last an hour or less and we ask that friends and family plan to stay until the end, as the groups will be doing some songs together at the conclusion of the concert. Doors will open at 9:00 AM. It is a winter concert so please feel free to dress your child in blue and white. We know that some students may have other attire that they would prefer to wear and that's fine too! Both morning and afternoon PK students will attend the morning session so they can perform together in the concert. There will be no afternoon PK. We look forward to seeing you tomorrow.

Picture retake day at SVES is tomorrow, November 13th. A couple of things to note for retake day: They will photograph any student that wants a retake, however replacement packages are only ordered for students who give the original pictures back, so please send them in with your child tomorrow if you want them to have a retake. If a family only got a digital image and they no longer have the sheet that went home, you can just send a note. Whatever photo is taken on retake day overwrites the one that was taken on the original picture day. The retake image will be the one put on the class composite. Students and families can still order photos with an order flyer or online, with the retake day specific order code. 92174FD

We were so pleased to have such a successful first day back to school at SVES! As a reminder, morning drop off begins no earlier than 7:40am. We also ask that parents please remain in/near your vehicle for afternoon pick up in the pick up lines. Having parents walk up to the door creates congestion and confusion for our students and staff at dismissal. As another helpful resources, I am including a link to our School Handbook here. https://core-docs.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/documents/asset/uploaded_file/356/sebasticook/4769083/SVES_Parent_Student_Prek-4_Handbook__2_.pdf Physical copies can be obtained upon request.
