October 17, 2017- Mid Week Update

Dear Silver Hill Families,

Please excuse this “Mid Week” instead of Weekend Update. We have lots going on so I wanted to finalize some things before sending this out to you.

Our x-country meet will be held today at 4:00 at Winnekenni. Perfect fall weather for our runners! If your child is involved today, please be sure to check in with either Coach Sanchez or Coach Herbert at the end of the meet to let them know that you have taken your child. This way we will be sure that all students are accounted for. Thank you in advance for helping with this!

MCAS 2.0 data has been received, so Data Days for grade 4 and 5 will be held this Thursday and Friday, with all grade 4 classes having substitutes on Thursday, and grade 5 on Friday. As soon as the individual student reports are received they will be mailed home, with more information on this new assessment coming at a later date.

Today’s morning temperature is a reminder that fall is here…brrrr! Please be sure that your child/children are dressed appropriately for the weather. Layers are always good. Also, there are no shorts after the Columbus Day weekend.

A reminder that we do not allow balls from home to be brought to school. Our recess equipment is purchased specifically for the recess games, so we can avoid accidental injuries.

Make-up picture day is Monday, October 23.

The Silver Hill Horace Mann Foundation invites all interested school community to attend “An Innovation Conversation” next Tuesday, October 24, at 6:00 in the cafeteria. An innovation school can be proposed by any eligible applicant as an initial prospectus. This group of parents would like to engage the Silver Hill community in a preliminary discussion of the possible option of presenting Silver Hill as an innovation school going forward. The flyer is attached.

Have a great week and Go Jaguars in the meet today!

Margaret
