RILEY WEEK WAS A HUGE SUCCESS! THANKS FOR ALL YOU DID!
Thank you so much for all of your love, support and contributions last week during our SCE Riley Week! We had a spectacular week! Our staff and students had so much fun with our daily theme days, dancing, laughing and learning about the Spirit of Caring & Sharing. My hope is that this ignites a passion in our students to continue the spirit of giving within our SCE Community.
Thank you for the bottom of my heart!

- Please send your child prepared for the weather.
- Children will go outside for recess as long as the temperature and wind chill are above 15 degrees.
- Consider sending a change of clothes in your child's backpack in case of mud or other incidents. A change of their own clothes will ensure your child's comfort and fit.

Focus on Car Riders -> Safe Drop-Off and Pick-Up
- Your student must stay with you in your car until teachers come out to welcome them.
- Please stay in your car during pick-up or drop-off.
- Please adjust car seats so students can get out of the car on the curb.
- Please remain in line. Do not go around other cars. Only turn around in the circle, no U-turns anywhere else.
- Please let your student out on the sidewalk in front of the main doors, not on the side by the playgrounds.
- Please walk your student in to the school and sign in in the Main Office if there are no teachers outside when you drop off your student, which is after the 8:55 bell rings.
These requests are for the safety of all students, including yours!
Remember, if the car rider line isn't working for you, there's always the bus.
A Change in Transportation
- In writing to your child's teacher.
- By phone call to the front office at 317-915-4270.
