Beginning on Monday, August 28, Eagle Run Drive will be closed from 140th St. east to Champions. All cars will need to enter and exit by way of 144th Street.
Cars parked on the east side of the parking lot will continue to exit to the east at dismissal.
If you are exiting from the west side of the lot, you will be directed to stay in the left lane as you leave the lot if you want to go south on 144th St. If you plan to go north on 144th St., you will stay in the right lane. Those going straight across 144th St. to the west would use the left lane.
If you exit to the east of the parking lot, you will form one line as usual, but once you get on Eagle Run Drive, you will go into either the left or right lane, depending on the direction you will go once on 144th St.
School personnel will help with the merging onto Eagle Run Drive.
East and west walkers will still be allowed to walk.
As we work through the first few days to see how the construction will impact arrival, be assured that everyone's safety is our top priority. If drop off is delayed, tardies will not be taken.
This is a temporary situation, and we appreciate your patience and focus on safety during this time. Thank you!!

A Message From The School Nurse

Referrals will be sent out following the October 16th screening. When completing the health screening, we follow the guidelines set forth by the state of Nebraska. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to Nurse Molly at nurse@svdpomaha.org or by calling the school office.

Information On Student Lunch Accounts |
Parent and student access to PowerSchool accounts is now live; parents can check student balance and transaction history information through parent PowerSchool accounts. Parents with eFunds for Schools accounts used for making lunch deposits should now be able to see balance information in eFunds as well.
Beginning Monday, August 28, and continuing on the first day of each school week thereafter, families with one or more students with a lunch account balance less than $0.00 will receive an email notice to that effect. Checking balance information in PowerSchool will let you know who needs funds.
Beginning Friday, September 1, and continuing on the last day of each school week thereafter, students with a lunch account deficit of -$15.00 or worse will receive a printed deficit notice to take home to parents.
“Note that student accounts with a negative balance may have a la carte purchases declined in the lunch line.“
Parents who have questions about lunch account balances can contact Ray Bentzen (bentzenr@svdpomaha.org).

Picture Day Dress (September 8) |

If they choose to dress up completely, that is acceptable. Either way is acceptable for picture day. Please refer to the handbook for specifics on items that may be worn for half dress down days.
