From Mrs. Bryant

I hope you and your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday! We loved having your families on campus for our Family STEAM Night, our Thanksgiving Feast, and our Grandparent's Day Program. We are so grateful for the incredible ways you show up to celebrate our students!

The next three weeks are going to go by quickly! Our next family event is being hosted by our fantastic PTA. We would love for you to join us on December 10th for our Reindeer Games Family Night. It is a free event open to SSE Families.

Please note that on December 19 and 20 that all LDISD schools will release early. SSE will dismiss students beginning at 12:00 pm, starting with bus riders and daycare, followed by car riders, and then walkers.

Holiday Gift Shop

This holiday season, we're excited to offer our students a chance to pick out gifts for their loved ones at our annual Holiday Shop! With prices ranging from just $0.50 to $10, there’s something for everyone, and all gifts are selected by our very own PTA "elves" to ensure affordability and variety.

We have so many new a unique gifts this year! If you are looking for FUN stocking stuffers this is where your kids would want to shop!

Holiday Shop Hours: Monday-Friday 8:00 AM - 2:30 PM

We will be open late on Thursday, December 5th from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM to give everyone a chance to shop.

This year you can buy a gift card for your child instead of sending cash! Click the link here to send a gift card for you student of choice. https://tinyurl.com/2024SSEGC

In the spirit of giving, if you’re feeling generous, we’re also accepting donations of spare change to assist students who may need a little help purchasing gifts for their family and friends.

Chick-Fil-A Spirit Night

Breakfast, lunch and dinner, we have you covered!

Our next CFA Spirit Night is on Tuesday, December 3rd. If you have not checked out the new facility in Hickory Creek we encourage you to stop by and enjoy dinner with your family.

This new location will have its very own mobile order lane, making things even easier for our community to support us through app orders.
