The Principal's Den
Most of us are reflecting on how everything went during our first year together. What are the greatest moments that stick out the most for you? Was it moving in? Becoming a team? A certain feeling you may have had just because it was a brand new school with all new things? Needless to say that whatever your "moment" was, it will always be your moment! Keep it tucked away so whenever you need a reminder, it will be there for you. One of my greatest moments this year was very simple. It was during our first week together when we were all sitting on the floor in the library. I remember your smile, your strength & eagerness and most of all the feeling that I had that we were already a team. I will cherish that picture in my head forever!

End of Year Staff Survey
I wanted to send out a link for an end of year survey that I have created for you. Our first year together has been great and we know that there are some areas that will need to be tweaked for next year so that your days can run a little smoother. Please take a few moments to answer the questions within the survey on or before May 24th. Your feedback is important and will help us grow each and every year. This entire survey is completely anonymous. Results will be shared with team leaders and then again with all staff. When entering comments, it is important to share thoughts and feelings. I want us to be transparent in the most professional way!
Thank you so much for everything you do to make SVES such a great school. You’ve made our first year so successful!
