Message From The Principal

Dear Montair Families, The cutest day of the year happens this week! On Friday, 10/29, we will celebrate Halloween at Montair.  Festivities start at 8:15a with an all-school parade.  All first graders will attend school from 8:00-1:50, and all kindergarteners attend school from 8:00-11:30, so everyone can participate in the parade.   Please remember that Halloween costumes must be school appropriate.  Costumes with blood, gore, and weapons should not be at school.     Below is a map of the parade route.  If you are volunteering to help out with Halloween parties, you will need to come into the office, get checked in through Be A Mentor, and receive a visitor sticker.  Parents without visitor stickers will not be allowed in classrooms.    Room parents will coordinate classroom parties.  Also remember that we are not able to eat in classrooms, thus party activities cannot require food. Students can have goodie bags as they depart school.

Halloween Parade Map Please remember to stay in the parent area, so our students and staff have appropriate spacing to move in and out of the parade route.

SRVUSD will be offering the CogAT exam for all students new to the district who have never taken it and for 3rd and 4th grade students who have taken it once previously and would like another try. The CogAT exam is used for Gate identification and ATP eligibility. Register from October 19 to November 12 on the Gate Testing page of the district website. Late registrations will not be accepted. SRVUSD has partnered with AGILE force/LSA Labs to provide COVID testing to our students, staff, families, and community members.  Testing is covered under the federal CARES Act and your insurance carrier.  There should be no cost to you.  In order to be tested, you will need to sign up through Global Virus Pass (GVP), and complete the Universal Consent. Once that is done,  students who are considered close contacts can make a standing appt. between the hours of 8am - 3pm, where the nurse may test them at school. To learn  more about GVP, click HERE. To pre-register with GVP, click HERE.  We look forward to seeing you on Friday! Kind regards, Elizabeth Lyons, Ed.D. Principal Montair Elementary School
