☀️ We promise we're not trying to rush summer! ☀️
We know many of our SCE families like to take advantage of back-to-school sales throughout the summer and to avoid the last-minute scramble, so we're sharing our 2026-2027 School Supply Lists a little early.📚✏️
Supply lists are organized by grade level. There's also a one-pager if that helps you streamline shopping. 🔗https://bit.ly/4xbJQr8
We hope this gives families plenty of time to prepare for the upcoming school year! 🤗

We want to recognize and congratulate our four Beginning Teacher graduates! Emily Metivier, Corinthia Fields, Eliza Colant, and Kayla O'Brien completed their Beginning Teacher Requirements which is a three year process with extra course work and professional development completion on top of teaching full time. We are so proud of how much they have grown.
If you would like to make a teacher request for 26-27, please click the link and complete the form with 3 choices. Any form without 3 choices will not be considered. PLEASE understand there are NO GUARANTEES that your request will be granted but they will be viewed and considered. Please answer every question carefully. This form is completely optional. Reminder, we hire AMAZING new teachers yearly who the administration may believe would be the perfect fit for your child. In those cases, please trust us! The deadline for submission is June 15, 2026. Absolutely NO requests will be considered or granted after the deadline of June 15. There will be no exceptions, as we must complete our class lists soon!
Thank you! Karla Shand

It all started with this one. 📚 5th Graders, it's been fun to look back at the book that started your elementary school library reading journey. May the love of reading continue for years to come! ✨❤️
We're happy to share with you that Atlee from Ms. Brunjes' 1st grade class is our Sea Turtle of the Week. Atlee, your school is proud of you. 💙🐢💚
What a year in the library! 📚✨Our end of year video breaks down circulation, top reads, and student engagement highlights — and the numbers are impressive. We’re proud of the growth and the readers who made it happen! 😍📚 https://youtu.be/ZdjL_h-xY0g
Both Routes of Bus 291 will be combined as a first run for the rest of this week. On Wednesday, bus 291 students will ride bus 290. Thank you!
Ms. Stewart’s 4th grade class has officially filled (and overfilled!) our class jar from surf points , earning a well-deserved Glow Day! ✨
They turned their EOG review into a day full of engaging activities. Students practiced highlighting evidence from the text in ELA and used invisible ink pens to answer questions!
They also worked through math EOG review with a competitive game and even completed an escape room together as a class! 🧠🔍
It was a great day of reviewing and preparing for the EOG—their learning was definitely glowing! ✨
