Here is our current newsletter from Schavey Road Elementary
Wednesday, November 19: Half-Day for Y5, K-12 students, Teacher Professional Development. SRE will release at 11:42am
Wednesday, November 26-Friday November 28: No School for Y5, K-12 students, Thanksgiving Break
Calling our office as soon as you know your child will need to miss school helps us update our records and lets you avoid getting a confirmation phone call from us. Please call and report all absences or tardies at 668-3547.
Schavey Road implements a "no nut" policy due to life threatening allergies. Please do not send your student to school with any snacks or meals that include nuts, including peanut butter. If a student does bring a snack or lunch to school that contains nuts, they will be given an alternative to enjoy and a note will come home to request a different food in the future. Thank you for helping keep all our students safe!
Any items remaining in the lost and found by December 15 will be packed up and donated. Please make sure to stop by and check for your items, and try to label the things your student brings to school!
We're at an age and time of year where students are frequently coming to the office to change, either from an accident in the bathroom or from playing in the snow/mud at recess. If you could please make sure your child has a change of clothes (pants, shirt, socks, and underwear) in their backpack, that would help make things much easier on both your student and school staff when they need to change.
If your child does end up borrowing school clothes, we would very much appreciate you washing and returning them to us so that they are available for another child in need.
We are currently low on girls leggings and boys sweatpants, sizes 5-8, so any donations would be appreciated!
Please be sure to check the hot lunch choice each day and the secondary choice for the week (sunbutter will always be our third option). We find that things go much smoother when students are signed up for a choice that features foods they like and will reliably want to eat. Thank you!
Problem Solving Visual
Students have been using our school-wide problem solving visual (see below). We read "Hammerhead's Recess Challenge", reviewed steps we can take to calm our bodies when we have a big feeling and discussed words we can use to solve problems with peers.
Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions, concerns, are in need of any resources and/or you need anything at all. I'm looking forward to a great school year with all of our Schavey families!

Pasta for the Panthers
Thank you to everyone who joined us for our first-ever Pasta for the Panthers event! We loved seeing so many families come together to share a meal and support our schools. A huge thank-you also goes out to our amazing volunteers and everyone participating in our online auction—your generosity helps make all that we do possible!
