Principal's Point

Dear SVA Families,
   
            It is hard to believe that 2016 is coming to an end.  The last day of school for students is Tuesday, December 20 th  and students will return on Tuesday, January 3 rd .  The second quarter ends on Tuesday, December 20 th and report cards will go home on Friday, January 6 th .  Students are finishing the second round of MAP right now and Winter scores will be included with the report card.   We know all of our student have been working hard and are proud of their assessment scores.  If you have questions or concerns about your child's progress, please contact your child's teacher or counselor.  
 
            As a school, we realize that we have asked families to participate in a variety of fundraisers and service projects over the course of the last few months.  I will be working with our PTSA and athletic departments to figure out a creative way to limit the amount of fundraisers we are having but also sustain our current budget.  We know this sometimes adds stress on families and we do appreciate everyone who has supported SVA. 

            Have a fabulous holiday season with your families and we will see everyone back in 2017!
 
                                            Lesley Smith


2017-18 Open Enrollment/Tuition
Window Open for Grades 1-12
December 12, 2016-January 13, 2017

Students enrolled at Summit View Academy through Open Enrollment/Tuition are required to re-apply every year. Applications were sent home to current Open Enrollment/Tuition students. New students who do not live in SVA's district or in The Kenton County School district who wish to apply for Open Enrollment/Tuition may obtain a form at the school office. Every application will be dated/time stamped when submitted -- this may be a deciding factor in the approval process of applicants.  The deadline to apply for Open Enrollment/Tuition is January 13th.  No applications will be accepted after 1-13-17.  Please contact the office at 859.359.9600 if you have any questions regarding this process.

Kindergarten Open Enrollment/Tuition application process will begin February 9 through February 20, 2017.  The deadline for Kindergarten Open Enrollment/Tuition for 2017-18 is February 20, 2017.


Health News

Since hat/coat weather and flu season is fast approaching, here are some recommendations in dealing with some important health issues. Please discuss with your children the importance of washing their hands often.  This will help in the reduction of illness at school and home.  If your child is sick and coughing or sneezing, be sure to review the use of tissues and washing hands or hand sanitizer afterwards. Cough drops are no longer made available to students from the Nurse's Office.  Students are allowed to bring cough drops from home, as long as they do not have medication in them.  Parents willing to donate cough drops to the Nurse's Office is greatly appreciated.\

Fever:   We ask that you keep your child home if they have a temperature of 100.0 and higher and/or are vomiting.  Giving a fever reducer and sending them to school exposes other students and will almost guarantee a call from school when the medication wears off. If your child is sent home from school with a fever they must remain home until they are fever free 24 hours without medications.
 
Lice:   Head lice screenings in the home are recommended as part of routine personal hygiene and will help identify an early, treatable condition.  If you identify that your child has lice, please treat as soon as possible.  T he child must be brought back to school by a parent when lice treatment is completed (usually by the next day).  The child will be checked by school staff and cleared to return to the classroom or provide further assistance.    Please remind your child to not share personal items (i.e. hat, scarfs, hair brush, comb).
 
Holiday Parties (P-5):   Please check with your child's teacher regarding food allergies. Certain classes are designated Peanut/Tree Nut/All Nut Free. All treats sent to school MUST be store bought with ingredient labels attached.
 
The Northern Kentucky Health Department has reported a few cases of confirmed Pertussis (Whooping Cough) in the Northern Kentucky area. Pertussis is a contagious disease that can be spread in settings where people are in close contact.  The early cold-like symptoms of Pertussis progress to a persistent cough that won't go away and worsens with time, explosive bursts of coughing, vomiting after a coughing episode, a high pitched "woop" at the end of a coughing episode, and low grade fever.  If your child exhibits any of these symptoms please contact your medical provider.  We ask that you be on the alert to detect the early symptoms of the disease and take measures to prevent its transmission.  The best way to prevent Pertussis is by vaccination that is why it is important for us to have the proper, up to date immunization information for your child.  The Northern Kentucky Health Department recommends the Tdap vaccine to adults who work in areas of close contact and parents of small children.  This vaccine can be obtained from the health department for free, if your health care provider is unable to provide it.  For more information, visit  http://www.nkyhealth.org/Pertussis-Fact-Sheet.aspx . Please contact the Kenton County Health Department at 859-431-3345 with any additional question, concerns, or to make an appointment for the vaccine.
 
We appreciate your cooperation as we work together to maintain a healthy environment for learning. If you need any additional information, please contact our school nurse, Jenifer Cook at 359-9600.

School Attendance -
Don't "Miss" Out On Daily Instruction

As winter break approaches so does a rise in the number of students missing school. All families only want what is best for their children. When planning trips, please remember even one missed day at school impacts your child's academic progress. Please be aware of the school calendar when planning vacations around holidays and only keep your child home from school when it is absolutely necessary. Making up missed assignments after an absence cannot replace the high quality classroom instruction your child receives everyday as student in the Kenton County School District. Every day counts when it comes to your child. Please continue to support your child's education by only allowing your child to miss school if it is absolutely necessary.

 
2017-18 
Mark your calendar!  Kindergarten Registration will be held on February 9, 2017 for the 2017-18 school year.  Beginning with the 2017-18 year, the entry date changes from October 1st to August 1st.  A child who is 5 years old or who will turn 5 by August 1st will be eligible to enroll in Kindergarten.  The following items must be submitted for enrollment:  Enrollment form, birth certificate, ssn card, proof of residency - gas, electric or water bill, and a copy of parent's driver license.  Necessary medical forms are an up-to-date immunization certificate, physical exam, eye exam and dental screening.  For questions regarding Kindergarten Registration, please contact the school office at 859-359-9600.

Can You Give SVA a Hand??? - We Need Your Help!

What:   We need littleBits for our 6th Grade STEAM Classes.  The kits we wish to purchase have magnetized connections perfect for student interchanging pieces while they solve electronics challenges.  These kits are completely reusable and will be a resource for years and years to come.
Why:   Duke Energy has selected to match our Donors Choose grant dollar for dollar!  That means we essentially get these resources for ½ the cost!  Mr. Murray has already raised almost ½ the funds needed through private donations. Now we would like to ask the SVA community to help us meet our goal.  We still need to raise approximately $300.00 that Duke Energy will match. The donations are tax deductible.

We will meet our goal if just:
  • 15 parents give $20
  • 30 parents give $10
  • 60 parents give $5

2.    Under Search topics, teachers, & schools type: Murray

SBDM Minority Parent Needed

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 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.
