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. 

Yearbooks Have Arrived!

Yearbooks have been delivered for those who ordered them. We do have a limited number of extra yearbooks if you missed the order window, and they are first paid-first served (no putting them on hold, sorry). They are $11, and you can send the money to school in an envelope with your student's name on it or you can come directly to the front office to get a copy.

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!

Send Spare Clothes for Mud- we can't give office spares

We're at an age and time of year where students are frequently coming to the office to change. 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 will not provide new clothing for students who are playing in the mud. They may change if they brought their own spare set, or the office will give them wipes to help clean up as best as we can.

We are currently low on boys and girls underwear in size 4/5 if you are able to donate!

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!

From the PTA

It was an incredible year! Keep an eye out on social media for summer events like Popsicles on the Playground!
