Hello Silver Hill Families,Happy Sunday! I hope you all have enjoyed a nice weekend! It’s nice that the weather is improving!
With the warmer weather, I know that many warm weather toys come out, such as Nerf guns and water guns. Please be sure to remind your children that toys such as these, or any toy that could be seen as a weapon, should NEVER be brought to school. Although they are toys, they may make others feel unsafe. Thank you for your help with this!
Author Visit – Books to Purchase Available – We were very fortunate this past week to have Author/Illustrator Michelle Nelson-Schmidt visit our school and speak to grades K-2!
She reminded us that we should ALL follow our heart and follow our dreams… No Matter WHAT! and No Matter WHAT IF!
She has written a number of excellent books! If you are interested in purchasing any of these books for your children, the order form is linked in the newsletter email or order forms were sent home.

2022-2023 Yearbooks!
Preserve a lifetime of memories for your child!
Our Silver Hill school yearbook consists of a photo directory of all students in K-5, staff portraits, candid photos, clubs and a farewell section to outgoing students. 4th and 5th grade students will receive a free copy thanks to our school PTO and business sponsors, and do not need to place an order. Students in grades K-3 will need to place an order to receive a book. The cost per book is $13.50. Please contact the school PTO or email jeni@bentleysrealestate.com if cost is the reason you cannot order.
Place an order for your child’s yearbook at the following link:

Cell Phone Policy – We have seen an uptick of inappropriate phone use at school. Here is a reminder of our expectations at Silver Hill:
“Cell phones must be shut off and stored in backpacks during school hours. They may not be used at any time during the school day, including lunch and recess.
If they are seen by a classroom teacher, staff, etc. the phone will be confiscated and turned into the main office. The device can be picked up at the office by the student at the end of the school day. Repeated offenses may require the parent to pick up the device and/or require the student to drop it off daily at the office.”
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!
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
