As we come to the end of our year, so does an unforgettable school year. I am grateful for this community - students, families, teachers, staff and the many ways that we leaned into the challenges before us. I am grateful for our teachers, paraprofessionals and support staff for taking great care of our students. They have all worked above and beyond the call of duty to keep our students safe. Thank you parents for entrusting your children to us and for the support you have given our school this year.
With the closing of the school year we also will be saying “Farewell” to several staff members who are retiring Ms. Todd, Mrs. Eden, and Mrs. Doh. They have supported our students, staff, and community in so many ways over the years. Their presence will be surely missed. I know you join us in wishing them well in retirement and hoping this next stage is filled with good health, happiness, and many joyful family moments. We will miss them!
Farewell, to Mrs. Sofer who will be transferring to Melvin Elementary School. Mrs. Sofer has been a first grade teacher at SOEC. She loved the challenge of ensuring that her students would be prepared for second grade. The transfer was a difficult choice for her to make, but Melvin Elementary allows for a shorter commute and more time with family. It is a brave thing to make a change, but I know that the Melvin staff will appreciate the talents that Mrs. Sofer will bring to their staff.
ENROLLMENT: We are working on enrollment for the 2022-2023 school year and need to plan ahead for our staffing needs. A reminder to inform your child’s teacher if your child/ren will not be attending SOEC next school year.
