A reminder to all SES Athletes. Physicals are due in the Athletic Office before the 1st Day of practice on August 15th. Please make sure all physicals are signed properly. Please see attached letter on all requirements for participating in practice on August 15.

Internet if a vital part of schooling. The attached flier describes a program to help families get connected.

Teachers will report back to school this week and students will come back the following week. The excitement for a new year is growing and it is time to start preparing for the first day of school. Enrollment is now complete. If you have not completed this process please call the building as soon as possible. If a secondary student has a schedule change can follow the directions shared by Mrs. Haden by email or call the counseling center and schedule an appointment. Students are allowed to change courses within the first week of classes but it is best to resolve this prior to the first day if possible. We are returning to a staggered schedule for this year. School starts at 8:10 for secondary students and releases at 3:15. School starts at 8:15 for elementary students and releases at 3:20. The traffic pattern is largely unchanged from last year with students able to be dropped off at the north or east doors according to grade level. Parents should not release students to enter the building until the buses have begun to release students at 7:55. It is also very important that students use the sidewalks and crosswalk whenever possible. Children walking between cars are difficult to see and we want to keep everyone safe. Reminder that meals have returned to full charge so a conversation will need to be had in your household about whether or not to have breakfast in the building and whether or not a secondary student is allowed to purchase extras. Fees and Lunch balances can be found on the powerschool app once enrollment documents have been processed. There are a variety of methods for payments including credit card with a service fee, automatic withdrawal from a checking account, or simply a check mailed or delivered to our food service secretary. Students are not allowed to run a negative balance so it is important that these discussions happen and balances are tracked. Follow us on Facebook, download our app, subscribe to the district calendar, and bookmark our website. We will try to communicate with you as much as possible. Our goal is to make this the best school year ever.

Enrollment Deadline is Wednesday August 3. Directions can be found on our website. Please call the building if you need assistance. Thank you for completing this process as we work to get students assigned to classes and bus routes for the coming year.
