A Message from Principal Ponza
Our last week of school was full of so many fun and special activities to celebrate the end of this school year. 5th Grade Advancement, Field Day, Boardwalk and bowling field trips, movies, pizza parties, the list goes on and on! As I was visiting the classrooms today students shared their excitement for summer as well as some big feelings around leaving their teachers and current classmates. Change can be a bit unsettling for some students, but also a great opportunity for a fresh start with new learning, new friends and new opportunities.This year has been full of new beginnings for SLVE. A new principal, new teachers and staff and new students and families. I feel so fortunate to be principal of SLVE. I'd like to thank all of our teachers, staff, students and families for working together throughout this school year to make our SLVE community strong. I look forward to seeing you all on Thursday, August 8th, for our first day of the 2024-2025 school year!

At Home Summer Learning Opportunities
Summer Brain Quest Books
Summer Brain Quest Books were sent home with student report cards on today. Students who bring their Summer Brain Quest Books back to school in August will earn a certificate and 5 Bobcat pawprints.
Summer Lexia at home
Lexia log in information was emailed home on today. Student QR codes were sent home with the report card and a parent letter explaining our summer learning plan. Working on the Summer Brain Quest book, Lexia, and reading daily will be a great way for students to keep their skills strong and help to ensure they have a successful start as they enter their new grade level in August.

Take a look at our year-in-review PDF. We hope that you will join us next year so we can continue to provide these programs for our children. Have a great summer!
