Flood's Flash
If you haven't yet, please consider joining our SVE PTA! We are lucky to have an involved, supportive PTA. They are always working hard to support teachers and students. As of right now, we typically have a lot more PTA memberships by this time of the year. I know that they'd be so grateful to have your support. Please CLICK HERE to access the link to join! Any families who have joined by October 30th, your child(ren) will be entered into a raffle to have a special lunch with Mrs. Flood and Mrs. Westacott!
Thanks for all that you do! Best, Mrs. Rachel Flood
Red Ribbon & Spirit Week Oct. 26-30
Fall Party Information
We are working with PTA to help plan our fall parties, which will be held on Friday, October 30th for K-3 and 4-6 Group B students. Group A students in grades 4-6 will have a party on one of their attendance days earlier in the week. Due to COVID, our parties will have to be held separately, within the classrooms. We are still working on finalizing a plan. Students will be allowed to wear their Halloween costumes, in a format that works for their classroom. Watch for finalized plans coming from classroom teachers soon!
Parent/Teacher Conference Information
This year, Parent/Teacher Conferences will be held virtually on November 4th and 5th. Mrs. Flood will be sending out information on how to sign up and connect virtually the beginning of next week. November 2nd and 3rd, teachers will be involved in professional development which is why their will be no instruction, in-person or online, that week.

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.
