Class Placement Meetings
Thank you for your thoughtful work related to class placements for next school year. Please click here to schedule your grade level's placement meeting. Be sure to reach out to your SJVS colleague with her availability as well as the conversations about expected energy/academics/conflicts with others are critical to the process. 



#CelebrateSmallWins
*Our students & staff are using common SEL language like "unexpected" instead of "inappropriate" and "how can I help you?" instead of "what is wrong with you?"! We are focused on whole child development - we truly are "Maslowing" before "Blooming".

*We seamless integrated P2 into our classrooms and school culture!

*We are getting a new playground, canopies over the picnic table area, and two shade canopies on the playground, and a totally new accessible walking track this summer!

*We provided face-to-face instruction, ensuring love, support, and academic rigor amidst a pandemic. Wow - that's a BIG win!


OUR WHY


This video could've been created about each and every one of you. Our words & actions matter, they make such an impact on the lives we serve. Thank you for everything you do everyday for our kids!
