Dear Shrevewood Family,
We hope you are having a wonderful summer break! It is hard to believe we are less than a month away from the start of the school year!
The first day of the 2024-25 school year is Monday, August 19. We have a lot of exciting events coming up at the beginning of the year, so please check the "Save the Date" portion of the newsletter at the end.
Classroom teacher assignments will be available in ParentVue sometime during the week of August 12. We will also have a list of classrooms ready for you when you arrive for Open House on Friday, August 16.
We will continue to keep you updated with information as we get closer to the first day of school. We are eager to welcome our students and families back to Shrevewood in a few short weeks. Enjoy the last weeks of summer, and we look forward to seeing you all soon!
Sincerely,
Katie Vandawalker, Acting Principal
Kathy Quigley, Acting Assistant Principal
