Weekly Memo Jan. 2 – 6

Parents of Silver Lake Elementary Students,

We hope you had fantastic holidays and are excited about what 2023 will bring for you and your family.  Don’t forget that tomorrow is still part of the holiday break and there is no school on Monday.

Crosswalk Safety: Parents please remind your kiddos to cross where the streets where there are crossing guards if possible.  I understand that some of the cross streets don’t have crossing guards and the students should take be extra careful there, but where all possible cross where there is a crossing guard.  We want to keep all our kiddos safe.

Pop Top Drive:  The Pop Top Drive has been extended to January 20th.

Extra-Curricular Programs:  Attached here is the flyer for our second-semester extracurricular programs.  2022-2023 Extracurricular Programs.pdf  You can sign up your kiddos through this link.  myschoolfees.com

Sick Kiddos: There are a lot of cold and flu bugs around, and we’d like to ask you to review this flyer on when you should keep your kiddos home from school if they are sick.   Too sick for school, 12.8.21.pdf

PTA Meeting:  Our next PTA Meeting is on Wednesday the 4th at 10:00 AM.

SST Meeting: Our next School Community Council will be on Wednesday the 11th at 2:15 PM.  Anyone is welcome.

Spring Musical Theater Review:  We are excited to announce that we will have a Spring Musical Theater Review of Anastasia for 3rd-6th grade students.  A musical review is like a full play but with only the music, dance, costumes, sets, etc.  No acting.  Here is a flyer regarding signing up and auditions.   Anastasia Info Poster.jpg

Teacher Professional Development Day:  There is a teacher PD day on Friday, January 13th and there will be no school for students.

Reunification Drill:  On Friday, January 20th, we will be releasing the students at the end of the day at 2:30 PM for the staff to rehearse our Reunification Drill.  A Reunification is when we have to systematically reunify students with their parents/guardians after a school-wide lockdown due to some traumatic event.  Although we hope there will never be such an event, we must prepare for it so we know what to do and how to keep all safe and to return students to their families as efficiently as possible.  More information will come out about our drill and we will be looking for volunteer parents to help us go through the process of reunifying their students to them.  Look for a google sign-up form to volunteer.

Thanks for all your support!

Joel V. Miller – Principal
