Good Morning, many of our staff members and students at SVES are without power today. Due to this, many of the meetings that were scheduled today may not be able to be held. We apologize for this inconvenience. Please make sure you monitor any class meeting your child may try to attend today to be sure there is a teacher present to supervise. For those that were invited to Principal’s Cafe today, this is postponed until next week. Staff will be reaching out next week about rescheduling any meetings that were unable to take place.
Good Evening, this message is to notify SVES parents that many of our staff members are still without power and internet due to the recent storm.

We appreciate your patience and look forward to updating the online sites as soon as we are able.
