Hi Miner Families!

We have another great week on deck for our Miners! Here’s what’s coming up:
  • Wednesday – Fundraiser at Zupas from 4:00–9:00 p.m.
  • Thursday – Jog-A-Thon
  • Friday – School Store
It’s going to be a fun and busy week, and we’re excited to see our students shine in all these activities. Thank you, as always, for your support!

Student Drop Off & Pick Up

As a reminder, please do not drop your child off at school before 8:30 a.m. Supervision on the playground begins at that time, and staff will be ready to welcome and support your child. Thank you for helping us keep all students safe!
At the end of each day, all Miners will go home in one of these 3 categories: Flagpole Pickup, Bus, or Drive Through.
  • Flagpole Pickup - students that walk home or have a parent park and collect students.
  • Bus - students that ride a bus
  • Drive Through - guardians that pick up their child from the west parking lot car line.

If you are picking up your child before the bell, please contact the office 10 minutes before they check out so that we can have your child ready. Please avoid calling several hours in advance, as we may misplace the note or forget the timing.

Cafe Zupas Night

We’d love for you to join us at Café Zupas this Wednesday, from 4:00–9:00 p.m. When ordering, please be sure to mention that you are with Silver Trail Elementary.

Proceeds earned will go directly to our school, supporting student growth through Teacher Professional Development.

Thank you for partnering with us to make a difference for our students, we hope to see you there! See the flyer for details.
 

Jog-A-Thon

This Thursday, our students will be participating in the Jog-A-Thon! Run times are as follows:
  • 9:15–10:00 – Kindergarten & 1st Grade
  • 10:00–10:45 – 2nd & 3rd Grade
  • 10:45–11:30 – 4th & 5th Grade

Families are welcome to come cheer on their child(ren)! Please check in at the West Playground entrance (near the Pick-Up/Drop-Off location). Restrooms will be available at the main office if needed.

We are looking forward to a fun day of running and celebrating with our Miners!

School Store on Friday

This Friday, our School Store will be open! Students can use their TRAIL tickets or cash to purchase candy and fun trinkets, like Slinkey's, pencils and erasers.

Please note:
  • Students must either bring money or have earned TRAIL tickets (see below) to participate.
  • The money collected is reinvested into the school store to keep it stocked—this is not a fundraiser, just something fun for our students!

"Stay on the TRAIL"

At Silver Trail Elementary, we have schoolwide rules that apply everywhere students go—classroom, bathroom, hallway, cafeteria, playground, bus, and beyond. These expectations help create a safe, respectful, and positive learning environment for everyone.

We remind students to "Stay on the TRAIL" every day during announcements, using our TRAIL expectations:
  • T – Team Player
  • R – Respectful
  • A – Accountable
  • I – Integrity
  • L – Leadership
By following TRAIL expectations, our students are set up for success no matter where they are in our school community and earn TRAIL tickets for the school store when they get caught following the TRAIL.
