Soundview Celebrates National Dessert Day.
Dear Soundview Family,
Together, we build and strengthen our school community. We do it through our school admissions each year. We are giving tours and accepting applications right now for the 2023-2024 school year. You can help! Talk to your friends. Your school really is one of a kind and everyone should know about it. It only takes a few minutes to look at our website, https://www.soundview.org/, to find out how we can provide an educational experience that is ethical, rigorous, and compassionate.
Remember, Soundview has an early admissions process for siblings of current students that moves them to the front of the line. The deadline for sibling applications is December 2, 2022. The deadline for all other applications is February 3, 2023. Reach out to Victoria for any and all questions about admission or to refer a family to Soundview.
Student/parent/teacher conferences are Monday, October 31 and Tuesday, November 1, 2022. Electronic sign-up forms will be sent to you via email from Chrissy Sinclair on Monday, October 17. Your teachers will include a reminder and details in their Toddle announcements on Tuesday, October 18, 2022. There is no school for students on Monday and Tuesday conference days.
Soundview’s lunch provider, Green Sprouts, is experiencing staffing shortages and supply issues, as are many other industries. They notified us that if Soundview cannot maintain a minimum of at least twenty lunch orders per day, they will no longer be able to serve us. They are also no longer able to accommodate orders that miss the ordering deadline. The lunch order deadline is between the 20th and the 25th of each month. You must place your orders on-line within this timeframe. Details are behind the Parent Portal HERE. We will publish monthly reminders.
The Snohomish Health District has several reminders and updates for schools:
Get your boosters and flu shots
Cases of COVID in schools and the community have been low so far this fall
Treat every symptom as if it’s COVID, until COVID is ruled out via regular testing
Washington’s emergency COVID order will expire October 31, 2022. Schools will receive updated guidance after this change.
