IMPORTANT INFORMATION / NEWSLETTERS
Hello SES Families,
We’ve had a busy September here at Springville Elementary, filled with excitement and hard work as we kicked off the 2024-2025 school year. Opening day was wonderful, with students’ smiling faces and excitement to meet their teachers and reconnect with friends in class.
Following opening day, we hosted a successful Parent’s Night. It was a real treat to see families and meet the parents/guardians of our amazing SES students. Students were thrilled to show off their classrooms and introduce their teachers. This event also provided a great opportunity for our community to see the fantastic makeover our school received over the summer.
As we enter October, we have several fun events planned. Picture Day, Bingo for Books, and our Halloween Parade at the end of the month are just a few of the exciting activities. Thank you for continuing to support your learner(s) as we progress through the year. As I’ve mentioned before, our partnership is key to the success of our students.
Enjoy your October!
Best,
Karl Gesing

Community Eligibility Provision (CEP)
We are proud to announce that our district is eligible for the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP). This means that all students in our district are eligible to receive free breakfast and lunch every school day. Those families include students in grades UPK-12, and Cam P-tech There is no need for families to submit individual applications to qualify for these meals.
Breakfast After the Bell
To ensure that every student starts the day well-nourished and ready to learn, we are implementing the Breakfast After the Bell program. This initiative allows students to enjoy a nutritious breakfast even after the first bell rings, providing a convenient option for those who may have missed breakfast at home.
After School Snacks
We also offer a nutritious after school snack program, available to all students who participate in after-school activities. This ensures that students have access to healthy snacks to keep them energized and focused throughout their extended school day.
Free and Reduced Price Meal Applications
While all students are eligible for free meals under CEP, it is still important for families to complete the Free and Reduced Price Meal Application through the MySchoolApps platform, or with our paper applications available in all building main offices. Completing this application helps ensure that our district receives the appropriate funding and resources to continue providing these essential services to all students. Completed paper applications should be submitted to: Laura Watson/Director of Culinary Services.
MySchoolBucks
For added convenience, our district uses MySchoolBucks to manage meal accounts. Families can use this platform to monitor their child’s meal activity, add funds for a la carte items, and more. This easy-to-use service is designed to give families greater control and visibility over their children’s meal transactions. More information can be found at www.myschoolbucks.com
