Student Celebrations

Thank you to so many of you for participating in this! I love seeing emails come through letting me know about a new submission. As of now, these will post on Tuesdays and Thursdays. However, based on participation numbers, their frequency may increase. Check our SGE Facebook page to see when your child will be featured! If your child has recently accomplished something (big or small!) tell us about it here.

Handicap Parking

It is CRUCIAL our handicap parking spots remain accessible during morning and afternoon dismissal. When in line, make sure you keep space between you and the car in front of you so these spaces can be accessed.

Meals for students from CEP schools

If your child attended a school last year that had free breakfast and lunch for all students (this includes Scott County Preschool), they will continue to receive free meals until this Wednesday, September 23. The state has this as a grace period to give families time to reapply for free and reduced lunch. You can reapply here. Beginning September 23, these students will be charged the normal meal rate unless they are approved for free/reduced meals this school year.

Weekly announcements will come out every Monday morning. You can also bookmark www.bit.ly/sgeparents for quick access to our school website. Please reach out with any questions or concerns!

Working Together,

Meagan Kelly, Principal
