We have made it to the last month of school! How did this school year go by so quickly? The month of May will go fast because it is one of our busiest months of the year! We celebrate our principal, teachers, nurse (and staff) this month. We have field trips and awards programs for students. We also have Field Day coming up! So many things to do in the last 13 days of school!

We hope you have the best summer and are ready to come back on Monday, August 10th!

Online Student Registration will open on July 21st. You will need to access your Harmony account and complete the registration process before the start of school.

Below are the menus for May.

Please pick up any remaining medications (rescue meds, over-the-counter & Rx) before the end of the day on May 19th! If you do not pick them up, they will be disposed of!

All library books are due back to the library the week of May 4 through May 8. Overdue notices will be sent home the following week. If you have lost a book, please pay for it before the end of the school year.  Contact Mrs. Foxworthy for more details at dfoxworthy@svcs.k12.in.us

Medications for the next school year can be brought to the nurse at Van Duyn on Meet the Teacher night, Thursday, August 6th, from 5:00-6:00 PM.  

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.
