Principal's Point 
Dear SVA Families,
Tonight we are excited for all families to come and see the new Media Center and STEAM Labs.
The open house will take place from 5:00-7:00 p.m. Stations will be set up in the STEAM Labs for students and families to explore our new interactive makerspace items.
PTSA will be passing out ice cream and popsicles in the 6-8 cafeteria and will have a short meeting at 5:15 p.m. All parents and students are welcome to attend the meeting.We will also have the book fair open in the community entrance hallways. More information can be found on our school website. I look forward to seeing everyone!
I would like to thank our PTSA for an outstanding Kentucky Kids Day! The students participated in various activities throughout the day and then had a surprise visit from Mr. Redlegs and Rosie Red. The kids were excited to see them both!
At the end of October the PTSA will be kicking off our Boosterthon Royal Glow Run. Last year students participated in the Fun Run and Color Run and this year everyone will participate in the Royal Glow Run. PTSA will be communicating information regarding the Royal Glow Run soon. Please support our school and help us reach our technology and STEAM fundraising goals.

Transportation Updates
Bus Riders
- Thank you for your patience this first day of school in getting your child home! Typically buses run a little late on the first day of school as drivers are learning new stops. If there is a question on the status of a particular bus, parents and guardians can access our new app, My Bus Buddie, which will display the
current status and location of that bus
. The School District is providing a mobile app which can be accessed via a smart phone, laptop, or home PC (as long as the device has Internet connectivity and can access the Web). Should the transportation department wish to inform users of a significant delay for a bus or all buses, this app can show the anticipated delay time, i.e. one hour delay due to weather. Click the link below to find out how to sign up for this app!
Car Riders
- New car-riders numbers are assigned each school year. If you have a number from last year, please discard the old tag and request a new car rider number from the office for this school year. Our tags this year are yellow, instead of the neon green ones we used last year. Also, for students in the YMCA/21st Century after/before school program, the numbers the YMCA uses are different than the school, so you will need both if you are have a student participating in that program.
