Hello Silver Hill Families,Happy Sunday! I hope you all are having a wonderful weekend! It was so terrific to see the students back in school this week – full of energy and ready to learn! Let’s keep this momentum going! 🙂

Congratulations to all of our Silver Hill PBIS ROARS students who were recognized on Friday for Ownership, Mathematician, Young Author, Art, PE, Library, and/or ST Math Completion! Awesome work done by all! Additionally, we were so happy to welcome families to the assembly! (Please see photos below)

Safety at Dismissal Time – There have been an increasing amount of car driving in during pick-up time that do not enter the car pick-up line but instead park illegally in the bus lanes or faculty parking lot. Please DO NOT continue this practice. This makes it very challenging for the buses to get through. Additionally, students run across the parking lot to meet their rides which is very dangerous.

  • If you are walking to pick up a child, please meet them at the front of the school.
  • If you are picking up a child in the car, please get in the car pick-up line.
  • We appreciate your attention to this matter. The safety of our students and everyone in the Silver Hill community is our number one priority!

Lost and Found – We still have a LARGE NUMBER of sweatshirts, coats, water bottles, etc. in the Lost and Found. Please have your children check for anything they may be missing. If items remain unclaimed, they will be donated.

Please be sure your children come to school with warm coats, hats, and gloves. We will be having outdoor recess as much as possible through the winter and we want to be sure all are protected from the colder weather!

**Please also be sure to send your children with snacks for snacktime.**

Take care and be well.

Sincerely,

Donna Martin, Principal

ATTENDANCE MATTERS!

For Elementary/PreK/K School Parents:

Showing up matters for R.E.A.L because it is an opportunity to:

  • Build Routines
  • Increase Engagement
  • Provide Access to resources
  • Support Learning

RoutinesDaily attendance routines can reduce stress, increase your child’s self-confidence, and lay a foundation for good attendance in later grades.

EngagementParticipation in school helps your child connect with other children and adults and get excited about learning.

Access to ResourcesSchools can give you access to meals, physical and mental health care and other supports, and fun enrichment activities (sports, clubs, music, afterschool, and summer programs, etc.).

Learning: Children learn best from hand-on activities and through meaningful interactions with their teacher and other students.

A reminder that it is very important for your child to be on time to school each day! Please reach out to your child’s teacher or school adjustment counselor if you need any support with getting your child to school.
