Here is our current newsletter from Schavey Road Elementary

Upcoming Events

• Open Now: Yearbook ordering is open!

• Monday, April 6: classes resume

• Calendar Reminder:  Friday, April 10 (the first week after spring break) will be a HALF-DAY for ONLY SCHAVEY students.  This is to allow time for staff to conduct kindergarten/Y5 roundup for next fall's new students. Schavey Road will release at 11:42am that day.

• Monday, April 13: SRE students are invited to sing at the Board of Education meeting at 6pm! This is voluntary and is a preview of the performance they'll give at the Community Showcase in May

Calendar Reminder- Schavey Road Only

Please mark your calendar that Friday, April 10 (the week we return from spring break) will be a half-day of school for just current Schavey students. We'll dismiss all Y5, Kindergarten, and First Grade students at 11:42am so that staff can spend the afternoon doing kindergarten roundup for our new arrivals this coming fall.

All other buildings in the district will run their regular full day schedule this day. This is only for Schavey Road.

If you have or know someone with an incoming kindergarten student, please encourage them to keep an eye on our district website and social media for information on signing up for a roundup slot!

Late Arrivals, Appointments, and Absences

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. 

Allergy Alert- No Nuts!

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!

Please Send a Change of Clothes- and donate!

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!

School Lunch Choices

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!
