Principal's Message

Dear Shrevewood Families,

We've had a great week of learning at Shrevewood. Thank you to all the volunteers, families and students who attended BINGO night last Friday. It was a blast and a reminder of just how wonderful our community and students are.

We are wrapping up SOL testing and will have retakes happening next week. Please see details below. 

The end of the school year is coming in just three short weeks. We have so many fun activities planned for our students and we look forward to having parent volunteers in the building to help us close out the year.  

Thank you and have a great weekend, 

Joshua DeSmyter, Principal

Susie Lilburn, Assistant Principal
