What a week! Dealing with the snow is one thing, but the ice created an extraordinary challenge. I hope you were able to find some moments of joy and enjoy extra time with family. Remember, we want to see those pictures, use the SVES Dropbox to share! If you spent time clearing your driveway, you know firsthand how difficult the conditions were. Our custodial team has been working tirelessly to clear sidewalks around the building. In several areas, plows created large barrier piles at sidewalk entrances, making the work especially demanding. The task has been enormous, and we are incredibly grateful for our custodial team! 

As we transition back to school, please continue to use caution, as there are still icy patches. If your child typically walks to school, we encourage you to walk the route together to ensure it is safe and feasible. We may also see an increase in Kiss & Ride traffic, so thank you for your patience as we work to get students in and out of vehicles safely. Additionally, if you pick up at Door 1, we kindly ask that you do not linger, as we will need all available sidewalk space to safely load buses. Thank you in advance for your flexibility and support.

Recognizing that recent snow days and upcoming school and PTA events can make it challenging to find additional time in your day, we have decided to combine the Principal’s Coffee (originally scheduled for this Tuesday) with the PTA meeting. Both events will take place on Wednesday, February 11 at 9:30 a.m. Please see below for additional details.

I know we are all looking forward to returning to a sense of routine and structure. We look forward to seeing everyone back this week!
