The Leader in Me
This group will continue to meet regularly to plan and discuss the work in our classrooms. All staff members now have access to the entire Leader in Me Digital Library and student materials are on the way to the school! Additionally, we will be meeting as a book club to discuss the concepts and practical applications presented in The Leader in Me book. We are so excited to do this work!
Site COVID Testing Update
Week two of testing was much smoother. Responsive Lab Partners sent two people this week so we were able to test more students. We appreciate your continued patience as we further streamline the process and ensure that our lists match those of the vendor.
SSC and SGT Nominations
SSC and SGT Parent/Community Member Nominations
We are seeking parent nominations for our School Site Council (SSC) and our Site Governance Team (SGT). These two committees work in tandem, focusing SVE's education efforts in encouraging student achievement and maintaining a vibrant learning community for student growth.
The parents or community members would engage in the shared decision-making process with teachers, site staff and the principal. Elected members are asked to represent our entire student population as we present and review learning concepts and experiences.
SSC:
- Meetings are held the 2nd Friday of every month, typically at least 8 meetings a year.
- Elected members serve a two-year term with an option for one re-election.
- Meetings will be held via Zoom for the foreseeable future.
- Stacie Bernard, Miriah DeMatos, and Jessica Kimball are currently serving in year two of their term.
- We need two more parents to complete the board.
SGT:
- Meetings are held the 1st Friday of every month.
- Elected members serve a two-year term with an option for one re-election.
- Meetings will be held via Zoom for the foreseeable future.
- Desiree Ericsson and Kristen Dimou are currently serving in year two of their term.
- We need one more parent to complete the board.
Parents may nominate themselves or others to serve on both or either committee. Please submit your parent nominations by completing this Google Form by Friday, September 17, 2021. On Monday, September 20th, we will confirm the acceptance of all parent nominations, ask for a short bio, and circulate the ballot.
LCFF
Your child’s school needs this information to help ensure it receives all the state funding to which it is entitled. It will not affect your child receiving free meals at this school as all children will have free access to meals this school year.
The LCFF online form is available on the Parent Portal, and NOT on the student’s portal. To create a Parent Portal account, you will need:
A valid email address
Access ID and Password from your student's school
If you do not have the Access ID and Password for your student, please contact the school to make the request. You will need an Access ID and Password for each student you wish to link to your account.

How To:
Attendance
Please do not send your child to school when they are sick.
When your child must be absent for any reason, please call the office at 858-988-2000 by 9:30 a.m. every day of non-attendance, giving the exact reason for the absence. You can also email Varsana Tikovsky at vtikovsky@sandi.net.
Please note, it is imperative that you notify the school immediately if your child has tested positive for COVID-19 so we may enact the appropriate protocols ASAP.
Any child arriving after 9:00 a.m. must stop in the office and pick up a tardy slip. This is disruptive to your child and the entire class. Let's set good habits early in the school year to arrive on time.
Show SVE Pride - Friday is School Spirit Day!
