Principal's Message
SES Familes,
As this quarter comes to a close, I want to take a moment to thank you for all your support and help through the first part of the year. Developing strong citizens with critical thinking skills, truly is a joint effort between home and school. We appreciate you contacting us, trusting us, and partnering with us!
We hope you spend the next 2 weeks reconnecting as a family and enjoying the holidays! We will see everyone back at school on January 6th!
Ms. Witkemper

familias SES,
A medida que este trimestre llega a su fin, quiero tomarme un momento para agradecerles por todo su apoyo y ayudar durante la primera parte del año. Desarrollar ciudadanos fuertes con habilidades de pensamiento crÃtico es realmente un esfuerzo conjunto entre el hogar y la escuela. ¡Apreciamos que se comunique con nosotros, confÃe en nosotros y se asocie con nosotros!
¡Esperamos que pase las próximas 2 semanas reconectándose como familia y disfrutando de las vacaciones! ¡Los veremos a todos de regreso a la escuela el 6 de enero!

Intra-District Transfer Requests for the 2025-2026 School Year
For elementary and incoming kindergarten students currently living in Perry Township, Intra-
District Transfer applications will be accepted January 6-February 7, 2025. Applications will only
be accepted after this period from families that are new to Perry Township. Acceptance letters
will be mailed to households after March 14, 2025. If a parent chooses not to accept the Intra-
district transfer for the 2025-2026 school year, they must notify the office of Assistant
Superintendent for Foundational Learning at The Perry Township Education Center no later than
April 11, 2025. Each Kindergarten Academy will be able to accept up to 20 transfer students.
Intra-District Transfers are good for as long as you are in the school. A new form will need to
be submitted when going into the 6 th grade, or from kindergarten into 1 st grade. Current
transfer students do not need to complete a new form. Requests must be turned into the
requested school by February 7, 2025.
