🖥️ Spring Assessments Have Arrived!

This spring, our students in grades K-6 will participate in a variety of assessments to measure their progress. These include:

  • VKRP (Kindergarten)
  • iReady (Grades 1-6)
  • DSA (Grades 1-6)
  • SOLs (Grades 3-6) (May 14: Reading SOL; May 16: Science SOL; May 21: Math SOL)

For important dates and more information on each assessment, please visit the SVES Testing & Assessment Hub. As you start planning medical appointments and other activities that might require your child to be absent from school, we kindly request that you consider the assessment dates. Minimizing the number of student absences on designated testing dates will enable teachers to focus on in-class instruction rather than conducting make-up sessions. Your support is greatly appreciated!

🎭 SLHS Theatre Presents Big Fish

Big Fish

Join us for a special Community Preview event for South Lakes High School Theatre Arts' musical presentation of Big Fish. 

Big Fish is the story of Edward Bloom, a charismatic storyteller whose fantastical tales captivate his son, Will, while also making him question what’s really true about his father’s life stories. Will reflects on his father’s larger-than-life stories, leading to an exploration of family, legacy, and the power of storytelling.

On Wednesday, May 1st at 7:00pm (before the main show dates on May 2nd, 3rd, and 4th), students and families from the South Lakes pyramid schools are invited to an exclusive private viewing of this magical show with a $5 discount on each ticket. After the performance, you’ll have a rare opportunity to meet the cast and crew, take photos, and get their autographs. Youth t-shirts will be for sale and can be autographed!

Get your tickets online now, before this special preview sells out.
