Just when we think we’re in the clear from snow, another potential storm is on the horizon! We’ll have to see what today brings. For our snow lovers, this may offer one last chance to enjoy the winter weather.
As another short week wraps up, we look ahead to five (mostly) uninterrupted weeks before spring break. This consistency supports instructional momentum for both students and staff. With the midyear assessment window closed, our focus remains on strong, purposeful instruction in the second half of the year.
Next Wednesday, we will host our second Parent Series, “Anxiety: How to Support Your Child When Worry Shows Up,” at 6:30 p.m. in the SVES library. Dinner and childcare will be provided. Please RSVP so we can plan accordingly - we look forward to seeing you there (additional details below)!
☕ Sit back and enjoy this week's edition of SVTV's Weekly Report

Anxiety: How to Support Your Child When Worry Shows Up
We’re excited to host our second session featuring Ms. Laura Hayes. Worry and anxiety are a common part of childhood but knowing how to respond can make a big difference.
Join the Sunrise Valley Mental Health Team for an evening focused on understanding worry, how anxiety works in the brain, and practical ways parents can support children without unintentionally feeding worry and anxiety.
Families will leave with helpful tools and language that build confidence and resilience.
Please RSVP so we can plan accordingly.
Victor O’Neill Studios will be at Sunrise Valley Elementary School to take both individual and class photos. Pictures will be available for families to purchase online about 3 weeks later.
We’re looking for a few more volunteers to help out with picture day. Contact Melissa Simon in the school office at mdsimon2@fcps.edu to sign up.
