CAMPUS & PARTNERSHIP NEWS
Our 2024-2025 Course Survey opens TOMORROW!
There will be one round of the course survey again this year so it is more important than ever that EVERY SINGLE FAMILY participate. The survey opens in Allie tomorrow, February 8th and closes on February 23rd. Please call the office if you have any questions!
PLEASE MAKE A POINT TO TAKE THE COURSE SURVEY!
Your genuine, authentic input about what classes you want next year directly affects the master schedule….what gets offered, how many sections, etc.
I can’t say it enough - the best way for us to be able to give our families a good schedule of classes to choose from starts with EVERYONE participating in the survey!
SIBLING ROUND UP!
It’s that time of year again. If you have a sibling you want to enroll at SVEC for next year, please get your paperwork in ASAP! We want to be able to include all your members of the family in your seniority for enrollment in classes next year. So if you have a new kindergartener or another student in the family who will be joining us for the 24-25 school year, now is the time to turn in paperwork!
Enrollment paperwork can be found in the main office or on our website under; About/Registration.
EVENT AND CLUB NEWS
SVEC's Got Talent
Please be sure to attend our Sky Valley Talent Show! It will be taking place on Monday February 26th right after school at 3:30. If you missed our audition date and still wish to audition you may schedule an audition with either Mr. M or Daniel Murphy for a date no later than 2/15 so we have time to plan and be ready for the show. Hope to see everyone there!
