Allergy Alert- No Nuts!
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
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!
Volunteer/Chaperone Opportunities
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!

Emotion Regulation Class Lessons
During the week of September 22nd, I will be meeting with the Young Fives and Kindergarten classes to teach a lesson about emotions. We will read a story about identifying emotions and then I will introduce and teach students how to use our school-wide Emotion Regulation visual (see below). During this time, students will have an opportunity to practice identifying their emotions and using three coping strategies appropriately (deep breaths, counting and hand squeezes). This visual can be found throughout our school (in each classroom, in the hallways, at recess etc.). I plan to meet with First Grade classes during the week of September 29th to review this lesson and practice using the visual and skills
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!

SRE Teachers with some mixed-up signs!
Homecoming Assembly
Homecoming Assembly
Last Friday our students were able to enjoy a homecoming pep assembly featuring our DHS Football Team, Cheerleaders, and Marching Band! Students clapped and sang with the fight song, cheered, and even helped their teachers fix their mixed-up signs so we could spell "panthers"! It was a wonderful way to wrap up our first full week of school!
