Dear Sycamore Valley Families,

 

I hope you enjoyed the long weekend and are staying cool in this burst of summer weather!  We are certainly looking forward to the expected cool down!  

Keep reading for some dates to remember, reminders about drop off safety, the results of the School Site Council election, and some district updates.

10/09 - School Picture Makeup/Retake Day

Drop Off Safety Reminders:

In order to keep all of our Sharks safe, please keep the following expectations in mind when dropping off in the morning:

Students need to exit the car on the curbside only

Parents need to stay in the car

Do not drop students off in the parking lot - this is extremely unsafe

Supervision is provided for students in grades 1st-5th starting at 7:45 a.m. on the black top

Thank you for your consideration!

 

School Site Council Election Results:

The ballot for the School Site Council closed on August 29th and the results were reviewed with Council Vice President Steven Garrett (the president position is currently vacant) in accordance with the Site Council by-laws.  Based on the results, Kelly Virgillito will fill the vacant council member position. Vianca Wong will fill the vacant alternate member position.  We appreciate Mrs. Virgillito’s and Mrs. Wong’s willingness to jump in and serve the community.
