Sunday Email for 4/27/2025

May is here!!! We have just one month left, and we still have a lot to accomplish. Attendance in May is important as we finish up end-of-year testing and have lots of fun events to conclude the year. Parents, please help us ensure great attendance by communicating with the school when your child will be absent, getting them to school on time, and trying to avoid early check-outs when possible. Below is the testing calendar for the remainder of the year. Attendance on these days is especially important. Please remember that a good night's sleep and a full stomach are a great way to start a testing day. SJE students have access to free breakfast each day.

  • May 6th- 1st and 2nd - Reading
