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!

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!

Literacy Resources for Parents

If you're looking for fun activities to help give your student a literacy boost, Amplify has made lists based on areas of need your student may have shown on their DIBELs test!

Volunteer/Chaperone Opportunities

We would love to have you join us on field trips. If you are interested, please make sure you have submitted your ICHAT form and your child’s teacher will notify you with volunteer opportunities for each trip as the dates get closer.  You will need to fill out a new form each school year. It's better to do the form sooner than later!
