TEACHERS PARTICIPATE IN STAFF
DEVELOPMENT - SEPTEMBER
Welcome to our December newsletter. We are very
happy to share information about our school via
newsletter, web-page and Facebook. The staff,
parents, scholars, Board Members have set a great
tone for SVCS for the following years to come.
We opened a new building, six classrooms, office
and Multi-purpose room. In four month we have
demonstrated teaching and learning according to
Common Core Content Standards. Students are
celebrated for their success via Scholars Award
assemblies. Parents have established an active,
effective PTO (Parent Teacher Organization) to
improve daily school activities and enhance learning.
Student Council was established in October and
students have leadership roles and responsibilities.
Stay tuned for next semester!
.
Student Council elections were held in October,
2014. Many students competed for the positions of
president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer
and prepared posters and speeches to present
during an assembly.
The flag salute is led daily by the student council on
the playground before class begins. Student
council meets every week with advisors Mr.
Stevenson and Mrs. Sioukas. Student presented
Spelling Bee awards this month, sold candles for
Diwali, participated in the Ribbon Cutting
ceremony, collected can goods, jackets and clothes
for the homeless. We are proud of the Student
Council leaders and their excellent modeling for all
scholars to emulate.
Teachers are scholars too. All teachers continue to
learn after college to help students learn. SVCS
provides time for teachers to learn grade level
materials, how to work with English learners,
students with disabilities and students below grade
level. This year six of our teachers are participating
in Beginning Teacher Support and Assessment
(BTSA) and participating in site staff development.

SVCS has awesome parents. The school site has
been supported by parents over the years who
have always responded to classroom needs of
teachers. Parents continue to support SVCS by
attending field trips, volunteering in classrooms,
attending school events and sending us wonderful
scholars to teach. Our school attendance this
semester reached 95% daily attendance. This is
truly OUTSTANDING! Thank you for getting your
scholar to school. Many students were recognized
for perfect attendance.
In October parents established a Parent Teacher
Organization (PTO). Officers were elected that
included: President, Manjot Singh, Vice President,
Manpreeet Narwal, Secretary Sarah Diwan and
Treasurer, Gurpreet Gidda. We are proud of our
parents serving the SVCS community. The goals
of the PTO include: PE equipment, library books,
music program, technology support and school
recruitment to increase numbers.
The PTO held its first fundraiser on December 10,
2014! MOVIE NIGHT was a big event.
Congratulations PTO for organizing a very
successful evening! It is all due to your hard work,
planning and organization. This is indeed a great
time in the life of our scholars.
SVCS is happy to have Dads involved. Help us
connect more Dads in our school. Listed are few
programs just for Dads’. Visit A Place for Dads,

established in 2011 above Langar Hall at 2301
Evergreen Ave. This year our new building
supports six new classrooms, a multi-purpose
room and offices. Our new address is 2399
Sellers Way.
Since 2011 SVCS has grown to a student body of
235 scholars. Our Grand Opening of our new
facility was celebrated by Board of Directors,
teachers, students, parents, community members
and local politicians. Our Board of Directors in
partnership with our staff and community work as a
team to provide a safe learning environment for
our scholars. As principal, I am proud to have the
opportunity to work with a Board that values
education and the community not only in words but
in practice. Board members visit the school and
attend PTO meetings and make sure our essential
support personnel and teachers feel valued.
Board meetings are held every second
Wednesday of each month at 6:00 pm in the
school library. We invite you to join us.
