The first day of the 2024 - 2025 school year is Monday August 19, 2024. Doors open at 8:30 a.m. On the first day of school, parents and caregivers are permitted to walk their child to the classroom door. Please join me in the cafeteria for coffee and donuts at 9:00 a.m. hosted by our amazing PTA. I look forward to seeing new families and returning families too!

IMPORTANT SURVEY TO COMPLETE 

 

Dear Parent/Caregiver,

The Early Release Mondays planned throughout the school year for elementary schools are essential to allow educators time for planning and professional development.  Students will be dismissed 3 hours early seven times throughout the school year and are encouraged to return home via their normal route.  However, we understand there may be a childcare hardship because of the early release Mondays for many of our families.  To resolve these concerns, student supervision will be available for families who need it. 

The following dates are planned for Early Release Mondays throughout the school year:

  • September 16
  • October 21
  • November 18
  • February 10
  • March 10
  • April 21
  • May 12

To help plan for our school’s childcare needs during the early release Mondays, please complete this form: https://forms.gle/RheQnx9aeWJqdXCP7 for each of your children who are enrolled at Sleepy Hollow Elementary. The form covers the first two early release Mondays, scheduled for September 16, 2024 and October 21, 2024. If you have multiple children, you will need to submit multiple forms. Staff will confirm the after school supervision plan for each student.

 

Thanks,

Principal Vega
