This week we had a wonderful time celebrating Read Across America Week at school! Students enjoyed participating in fun dress-up days and one of our favorite activities—flashlight reading. There will be pictures on our Facebook page for you to see. We turned off as many lights as possible throughout the building, and students used flashlights to read for 30 minutes, making reading the primary focus, paired with an extremely fun reading experience.

We also had several “Secret Readers” visit classrooms to share stories and help reinforce the importance and joy of reading. It was a great week filled with enthusiasm for books and learning!

Trimester 2 report cards should be in your child(ren)'s communication folder. Please sign the envelope acknowledging that you received the report card and send the empty envelope back to the teacher.

Only one more week to go before everyone gets a well deserved spring break!

Warm Regards,

Principal Harding

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:

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.
