Parents of grades 1-4, please join us on Friday, May 22, at 1:15 p.m. in The Schiff Center to hear the spring concert titled “Together We Shine: Friends, Family and Neighbors.” Students will be encouraged to wear Seven Hills spirit wear. After the concert, students will go back to their classrooms, and then parents are welcome to take their children home. Instead of signing out from the office, please be sure to make contact with your child’s teacher so they are aware you are leaving school.

Pre-K Blankets & Bites

On the last day of school, Wednesday, May 27, we invite all pre-k families to join us for our PK “Blankets & Bites” celebration of the 2025-2026 school year. Please meet in your child’s homeroom for a final gathering as a class at 10:30.

After our homeroom goodbyes, there will be activities on our Early School playground, and we welcome you to find a cozy spot with a blanket and a snack for your child and family. Enjoy reminiscing with other PK families about our year of growth and learning! This has been a wonderful school year; we look forward to celebrating with you! RSVP for Pre-K Blankets & Bites. Please note: Kindergarten and Grades 1-5 students have their own schedules and events on this day, separate from our Pre-K Blankets & Bites event.

Lost and Found

Is your child missing their brand new spring jacket? Most likely it’s in our Lost and Found! We are busting at the seams in both the Early School and 1-5 Building! It’s that time of year when many sweaters, jackets, and coats mysteriously end up in our Lost and Found. Please remember to write your name on all outerwear. This will help us return any lost items. If you are in the building, stop by and check for your child’s clothing!
