Field Day:

  • Field Day is back! Field Day will be held on Tuesday, June 14th from 9:15 until 11:15am. Students should plan to bring a change of clothes (for water play activities), sneakers or closed toe shoes, sunscreen, and a water bottle.

Dress Code Reminder:

  • A reminder about the student dress code as taken from the SES Family Handbook. Students should wear sturdy shoes safe for outdoor play. Footwear must fit securely to the foot for safety on the playground and stairs. High-heels, flip-flops and other backless sandals are not permitted. Slick-soled dress-up shoes are not safe on the playground. Sneakers are ideal and required on days when students have physical education. Extremely short, loose, or tight clothing such that the undergarments or body may be exposed; see through or transparent clothing should not be worn. Hats, hoods and other forms of headgear are not to be worn in the school building at any time (excluding religious reasons). A headband worn on the top of the head to keep hair back is permissible.

Bring in Your Water Bottles:

  • Please try to have your child come to school with a water bottle. Many are attempting to use small plastic cups at the coolers which have been leaving puddles for Mr.Z to clean up. Thank you in advance for your help.

Fall 2022 Class Lists:

  • As this school year is quickly coming to an end, 23-days as I write, staff will be meeting to create preliminary class lists for the fall. Families will be notified in August who their child's classroom teacher will be. The composition of the classroom may change over the summer as students move in and out of town and our desire to best meet the needs of all students is taken into consideration. Thank you in advance for your understanding.

Have a great Memorial Day Weekend!

Bob Clancy, Interim Principal
