Other Previous Updates and Information:

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
