Dear Parents,

I hope you all had a restful and joyful winter break! We are excited to welcome our students and families back for what promises to be an engaging and successful semester ahead. As we move into the second half of the school year, we look forward to continuing to collaborate with you in supporting our students' growth and success. I want to remind you of some exciting upcoming events. Times and specific details for each event are included in this newsletter, so keep reading!

We are looking forward to a fantastic semester filled with learning, growth, and community spirit!

Warm regards,
Mr. Nunn

Important: Changes for Morning Arrival During Freezing Temperatures

As the weather continues to bring freezing temperatures, we want to ensure the safety and well-being of all our staff and students. Therefore, on mornings when temperatures are below freezing, our teachers will not be outside during morning arrival to supervise students. Additionally, the school doors will remain closed until 7:25 a.m. We ask, if it is possible for your family, that students not arrive before this time so they will not be waiting in freezing temperatures. Staff members will begin opening doors for students promptly at 7:25am.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in keeping everyone safe and warm during these colder months.

Family Literacy Night/AVID Open House

Join us on Thursday, January 16, 2025, for a fun and engaging evening of reading activities for the whole family! This is a great opportunity to share the love of books with your children and connect with other families. We will also be showing off our student's work, so think of it like an "old school open house." We will have examples of the AVID work to show off as well. Students must be accompanied by an adult. Grade level classrooms will be open from 5:00-6:00 pm for students to guide their parents through what they have been learning!

Book Fair

Our annual Book Fair will be next week, January 13-16, 2025! It’s a wonderful opportunity to find great books for your children while supporting our school library. Books at the in-person Book Fair have been selected by Scholastic, Inc. for the K-4 grade levels and previewed by SVE’s librarian using the district’s content guidelines. Families may opt out of their student’s participation in the Book Fair and Book Fair preview by completing this Book Fair Opt Out Form.

On Thursday, January 16, we invite families to come check out the book fair that afternoon from 4:30 pm-6:30 pm. Be sure to check out the selection!

Portillo's Spirit Night

Mark your calendars for Tuesday, January 14, 2025. It's SVES fundraiser at Portillo’s! A portion of the proceeds from the night will benefit our PTA, so it's a great way to enjoy a meal while supporting our school.
