Davey Children Scholarship
We are excited to announce the return of the Davey Children Scholarship to the SEES community. Students who will be in grades 4 through 7 during the 2024-2025 school year are welcome to apply. The application window is open through May 1, 2024. All submissions will go directly to the Davey Family. DETAILS
Overdue Library Books
The library staff works very hard to bring awareness to students when library books are overdue. However, there are some instances where library books become 30 or more days past due. In those few instances, the office will be sending parents an invoice through FACTS for the value of replacing the book. If upon receipt of an invoice you find the book, the invoice will be canceled when the book has been returned to the library.
Invoices for lost books will need to be paid within 15 days of receipt. Any outstanding invoices will result in the withholding of report cards.
May Lunch Ordering Period Closes Next Thursday, April 25
The May school lunch ordering period is open through April 25, 2024. Lunches may be ordered via the SEES app or FACTS SIS.
HSA Election Ballot Form Closes Next Friday
Elections for the 2024-2025 HSA Board will close Friday, April 26. As SEES parents, your participation in this process is critical to the success of our HSA.

SEES ROAD TRIP RADIO – Spring Music Festival 2024
The annual Music Festival will take place on April 25 in the church. We are going to tune in and listen to some of the greatest hits of road trippers from all generations! This musical journey includes JK-4th grade along with the SEES Choir as we cruise down the road with the radio turned up! See Mrs. Kelley’s Letter to Parents for complete details!
Middle School Book Fair
Mark your calendars for Tuesday, April 23- Thursday, April 25 for our Middle School Book Fair.
This year we are using Bedford Falls for our Middle School Book Fair. The best way for students to shop is by creating a “kidcredit” account because this will be a cashless event. See additional information in the links below. The best part of this book fair company is that any unused money on your kidcredit account will be credited back to you. Wahoo!!
Here is the link to create an account: KidcreditLink
*Please note that it takes 12 hours for the barcode link to be updated so please do this at least two days before your student’s turn to visit the book fair.
We will also accept credit cards but unfortunately, no cash will be accepted.
5th and 7th grade students will be able to shop during Religion Class on Wednesday and Thursday.
6th and 8th grade students will be able to shop on Tuesday before mass and Study Hall.
If there is a 6th or 8th grade student who is unable to shop at those times they can do so at lunch but this will be limited to only a few students because a class is being taught in the library at that time.
Thank you for supporting our library!
