Shrevewood Supply Lists 2023

Parents, the Shrevewood Elementary 2023-24 online school supply store is open for orders! Ordering will be available now through June 20th.


Strings Concert - June 1st

The Spring Strings Concert will be held on Thursday, June 1, 2023 at 7:00 P.M. in the Shrevewood gym.  Students should arrive at 6:30 P.M.  They should wear long black pants or skirts, black shoes and socks, and white shirts.  We look forward to seeing you there. 


Reminder about Cell Phone Use

In elementary school, kindergarten-sixth grade students' phones must be silenced and in backpacks for the duration of the school day. Watches that serve a dual purpose (e.g., smart watch) may be worn; however, phone features (e.g., texting, Internet, calls, etc.) are to be off during the school day. Students are prohibited from using phones, smart watches, tablets, and other mobile devices in restrooms, the cafeteria, and at recess unless there is a true emergency.  The full SR&R can be accessed online at: https://www.fcps.edu/srr
