Congratulations Ms. Duncan! We are so lucky to have you as part of the Sun Valley team. Your hard work does not go unnoticed, inside and outside of the classroom!
Happy Paraprofessional Week to our AMAZING Teaching Assistants!
April is designated as the Month of the Military Child, a time to recognize and celebrate the contributions and resilience of military children, and their unique experiences and challenges. The month aims to raise awareness about the needs and experiences of military children, who often face challenges like frequent moves, deployments, and separations from parents. We will celebrate with spirit week next week!
As we move farther along in the school year, don't forget that attendance still matters!
Mercer County Schools has created a universal link for parents and guardians to upload absence excuses. This form is the same for all schools in the county. A new laminated card will be coming home with your student soon.
If you or someone you know is a grandparent raising grandchildren, this resource may be helpful.
It's time to start preparing for Pre-K and Kindergarten registration in Mercer County! Check out the information below to stay up to date on pre-registration forms and the documentation you'll need to bring on registration day.

And many more
By simply dialing 211, callers can access a trained specialist who will assess their needs and connect them with the appropriate community services.
We encourage you to share this valuable information with the students and families you support. 211 can be a vital lifeline during times of crisis or when immediate assistance is needed.

Now that school is in full swing, don't forget about the importance of attendance! Even during this holiday season, we continue to provide core instruction.
Many of us struggle during the holiday season. Don't forget that the school system has partnered with the Cook Center to offer free coaching for our staff, students, and families. You can sign up at any time to start your free sessions.
