SPOKANE VALLEY LEARNING ACADEMY

We had a great turnout at our September Open House events. We loved seeing SVLA parents reconnecting with each other. We loved seeing our students make new friends. Those pesky rain clouds at our Elementary Open House didn't wash away our excitement for this new year.

If you are using the valet line, for safety purposes it is important for parents to stay in the car. Our staff is happy to load and unload elementary students.

• Pull up to the the last cone at the "top of the U."
• Roll down your window if you have specific instructions for us.
• If you know your student needs seatbelt or other help you always have the option to park and walk over to pick up your child from the dismissal area.

Because we have students who will be arriving at different times to attend Q1 Monday workshops, we are asking you to drop your students off at the office, off Barker Rd. Mrs. Thompson and Mrs. Suda will be out front for the valet line. Students will enter the front office and be given directions to line up and proceed to their first workshop.

At the end of workshops students will line up along the back fence line, the same line-up spot for Wednesday dismissal. You can park and walk over to pick up or use the valet line.

First quarter workshops run for 6 weeks from October 2nd to November 8th.

If your student will not be on campus for an in-person contact, have your student compose an email to let their consulting teacher know what they learned at home. Chat with your consulting teacher to see if phone or zoom contact is available for absences.

Mark your calendars and practice that ear-to-ear grin because school picture day is October 18th.

📸 Order forms will be going home with your students soon.

Thank you to our kindergarten and first grade families for making the time at the start of a new school year to complete reading and math assessments. We will continue with FastBridge testing for our older students when they are on campus.

Good luck to our SVLA and CVVL Elementary Schools combined team at the first West Zone meet this Thursday at 4:15PM at University High School. Contact Karen Thompson with any questions. kathompson@cvsd.org

PTO meeting on Wednesday, October 11 from 1pm-2pm at SVLA. All are welcome to attend. We will be planning for our K-5 Fall party on October 25th and our Winter party for K-5 on December 13.

Success in your child's academic journey is a team effort. By partnering with your child's teacher, you're taking a proactive step toward ensuring a rewarding school year.
