***DROP OFF AND PICKUP*** - PLEASE follow the guidelines and keep all students safe! Drop-off and pickup should be done by driving around the back of the school, NOT out in front. We have had several near misses of students getting hit by cars while trying to cross the parking lot. They can be safely dropped off and picked up at the back of the school. Please also drive slowly and carefully while on the school campus. Thank you for your help and cooperation in keeping our students safe!

Upcoming ALICE drill

May 2026

Dear Silver Hill Families:

This May/June, in conjunction with our community safety agencies, Silver Hill Elementary School will be conducting an A.L.I.C.E. drill. The drill will take place the week of May 26th or June 1st. For more information about A.L.I.C.E., please read the Frequently Asked Questions below. Further information is available at: https://www.alicetraining.com/ and https://www.haverhill-ps.org/security/k-6-alice-training-information/.

From the perspective of the students, this will seem like a simulation exercise of having a real threat in the building. Our school will conduct our drill sometime during the upcoming week. Similar to fire drills, we are not able to share the exact date of each A.L.I.C.E. drill in advance, however, the school will inform families following each drill.

Please understand the successful implementation of A.L.I.C.E. throughout our school community is essential for the safety and well-being of our students and staff. To better prepare for any of these events, our staff and students should be trained in what to expect and how to react. Our goal of A.L.I.C.E. best practices training is to replace fear and hopelessness during emergencies with preparation and readiness in the face of adverse circumstances.

Again please be reassured, we are conducting these drills as part of our yearly A.L.I.C.E. training so that our students and staff can implement strategies learned to better prepare for and make informed decisions about a variety of emergency situations.

Sincerely,

Donna Martin

Principal, Silver Hill Elementary School
