Principal's Message
SES Families,
We have successfully wrapped up the year! We hope you are as proud of your student’s growth as we are! We have seen students make new friends, try new things, learn new concepts, and persevere when things get tough.
A special shout out to our fifth grade families. Thank you for trusting us with your students. Raising kids truly takes a village, and we are honored that you allowed us to be part of yours these past few years.
Everyone, have a great summer. We will see everyone back here on July 30th!

Un agradecimiento especial a nuestras familias de quinto grado. Gracias por confiarnos a sus hijos. Criar hijos realmente requiere de un pueblo, y nos honra que nos hayan permitido ser parte del suyo estos últimos años.
¡Que tengan un excelente verano! ¡Nos vemos de nuevo por aquí el 30 de julio!

Fifth Grade Award Ceremony
Tuesday night was our SES Fifth Grade Award Ceremony. We are tremendously proud of the SES Class of 2025. We know they will continue to do great things next year as sixth graders.
Students were recognized by their classroom teachers. We had several students earn the President’s Award for Educational Achievement, or the President’s Award for Educational Excellence.
It was a great night of families coming together to celebrate a class full of outstanding kids. We love seeing the strong friendships our students have, and the love our students and teachers have for each other.
