February finally arrived, after what seemed like a very long January! Mother Nature is packing a punch this winter, but our students and teachers have handled all of the live eLearning days like champs!

More winter weather is predicted for later in the month, so be alert for more (possible) delays or eLearning days.

One thing is for certain: we are all looking forward to spring!

First graders in Miss B. Vukovits' class published a book titled "All I Want for Christmas Is..." Their class celebrated with a book launch party, complete with a book reading and an author book signing!

Congratulations to our January Viking Vibe award recipients:

(K)-Klara McLeish and Lily Addison

(1st)-Brooks Lowry and Riley Blue

(2nd)-Kole Brown and Serenity Hall

(3rd)-Betsy Addison, Emmett Hoshauer, Everett Bush and Liam Jones

(4th)-Max Carty and Mathew Kaperak

These students were honored for being kind.

February 11th and February 13th, the Kindergarten students will be bringing home a library book for the very first time. 

Kindergarten parents, please look at the information that is being sent home inside the library book. Please enjoy reading the book with your child. Students are so excited to bring them home. Your child's backpack is the safest place for their library book. 

Happy Reading!!

The classroom parties will be held on Friday, February 13th at 1:45 (Kindergarten will be a little earlier due to their specials schedule). Room parents should be in contact for donations.

Friday, February 13th at 3:00 p.m. in the Library.

There is no school on Monday, February 16th in honor of Presidents' Day. Enjoy the day off!

If your child is absent, please call the school at 765-832-7761 and press 1 to leave a voicemail stating why your child is out.

As always, if your child has a fever of 100 or greater, has been vomiting or has diarrhea, he or she must NOT have any of these symptoms for 24 hours or more before returning to school.

The SVCS Elementary Student Handbook states that if changes are needed during the school day, the parent/guardian must notify the office by 1:30 PM. Please call or email changes for the end of the day to madams@svcs.k12.in.us by 1:30 PM!

After 1:30, we cannot guarantee that a student will receive any changes.

PLEASE LIMIT CHANGES TO EMERGENCIES ONLY! Frequent changes are confusing for students and staff, and can lead to mistakes.

Just a reminder, an after-school detention will be assigned after every 5 tardies.

Attendance letters will be sent when a student accumulates 5, 8, and 10 absences. These letters will be sent regardless of whether they are excused or unexcused absences.

Please have your child at school and on time every day. If your child will be absent, please call the school and leave a voicemail on the attendance line by 9:00 AM.

When sending money to school to pay for something, please put it in an envelope or Ziploc bag with your child's name on it and include in writing what you're paying for.
