Jaguar Update
Sunset Valley Elementary - January 28, 2021
Flood's Flash
Good evening Jaguar Families!
Picture day went so well today! It was fun to see those beautiful smiles that have been hidden beneath a mask. The Inter-State Studio website was experiencing some difficulties, and they should be up and running again to accept pictures orders by tomorrow. Thank you for the patience!
You may have received some initial communication from your child's teacher with the message that candy/food was not to accompany a Valentine's card. However, after further conversation, we have decided as a building that we WILL allow individually wrapped pieces of candy to accompany Valentine's Day cards. With this, please know that your child will not unwrap or open anything at school. They will bring home their Valentine's and you will quarantine these items to your discretion. Thank you for the support and we hope this will add a bit of fun to their Valentine giving and receiving!
We will be a having a CHIEFS SUPERBOWL SPIRIT WEEK next week at SVE! We're excited to support the Red Kingdom. Please see the graphic below for the schedule!
Have a wonderful evening!
Best,
Mrs. Rachel Flood, Principal
Mrs. Amy Westacott, Assistant Principal
February 4th Is SVE Night At Papa John's Pizza

Major Saver Campaign Starts February 10th
It's time for the Lee's Summit Education Foundation annual Major Saver Card fundraiser! Packets will be coming home with your student starting on February 3rd. Packets will include instructions and collection dates. Funds raised are used to fund PEAK Grants for educators in LSR7 as well as money given directly to SVE for additional educational needs. This campaign has been changed dramatically this year to respect the health and safety of our staff and students. Major Saver has revised the collection process to minimize contact within the schools. This process has worked effectively in our neighboring districts.
Major Saver staff will follow all physical distancing and PPE requirements.
• No contact with teachers and students.
• Teachers will send any sales packets to the office first thing in the morning.
• Fulfilled orders will be left in the office for redistribution later in the day.
Online Students: Students who are participating in remote/online learning will have the ability to participate via an “online campaign.” Purchased cards will be mailed directly to the customer on a daily basis. Student prizes will be dropped off at each school for a parent pick-up at a
later date.

A few notes on protocols and health guidelines for LSR7
* Staff and students wear masks at all times unless we are taking a mask break while socially distanced.
* Students will hand wash and/or sanitize hands each time they leave and enter a new space. Ex: from classroom to art, from PE to recess, from classroom to lunch, etc. . .
* Classroom desks/tables will be sanitized each time students eat breakfast.
* Students will maintain consistent seating charts in classrooms, at lunch, in special class and students will have assigned line orders. These practices will help us should we need to contact trace.
* The schedule has been build with extra time in between recesses and special class so equipment and materials can be cleaned.
