Hello from the 7th grade! We have had a wonderful start to our new year. Our teachers are working hard to help our Elementary/Middle School transition go well. We are having so much fun getting to know your amazing children. We have started our “Bingo” sheets which is an important school program that is organized in English Class. This program keeps our students reading independently and AR testing on their books. Please look over your student’s Bingo Sheet with them, to ensure they understand their active role. We also had the great opportunity to celebrate your students with a WYTOPP celebration day in school. We were thrilled with our WYTOPP scores last year, and wanted to make sure to recognize and reward all of our students who worked so hard. We celebrated with ice cream, and a pajama day. We look forward to many more wonderful moments this year at SVMS!

We couldn’t be prouder of our school community and look forward to continuing this tradition of excellence in education. Congratulations to everyone involved!
Digital Citizenship and Cell Phones at SVMS
SVMS cell phone policy will include a “Digital Citizenship” course, a program designed to teach kids the skills they need to be safe and smart on digital devices. The classes began the first week of school and when complete each child will receive a sticker that verifies they have learned the skills to be a responsible digital device user. At this point, they will be “certified” to use a personal device at school during approved times and in designated areas. Digital Citizenship means being smart, alert, strong, kind, and brave. Parents who are involved with the online/phone safety conversation at home are essential to our efforts to help all students at the school learn the lessons of safety and etiquette in the digital world. Here are some areas to focus on with your child.
Protect themselves from digital threats, including bullies and scams
Get smart about sharing: what, when and with whom
Be kind and respectful toward other people especially on social media
Ask for help from a parent or other adult with tricky situations
