So You Don't Get Lost!

August 31, 2026

Hi Miner Families!

We had a very eventful week of learning here at Silver Trail Elementary! We truly love our jobs and deeply appreciate the opportunity to partner with you and work with your wonderful children every day.

Please take a look at some of the upcoming activities below to see what is coming next week.

Sincerely,

Principal Harding

New Kindness Club | September 3rd

Some of STE's parent feedback last year was the desire for more clubs for students to join. We listened and are excited to announce that Kindness Club is ready to launch on September 3. To start, we are inviting 5th Grade students so that we can gauge student interest. After an initial meeting with 5th Grade students, we will expand to 4th Grade and with the possibly of expanding into 3rd Grade. See flyer for details.

Fitness Testing

Attention 3rd-5th grade families!

Fitness testing begins next week for all 3rd through 5th graders in PE. The students will start with the push up and curl up tests, then the following week will participate in the pacer test. The pacer test is a running test that assesses cardiorespiratory endurance. Please ensure that your child wears proper footwear for this test, which will take place September 4-September 10th.

Student Drop Off / End of Day Pick Up

Thank you for your patience before and after school and for following signs and staff directions to ensure the safety of all our students. 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.

Drop Off/Pick Up Reminders

Safety of your child(ren) is our priority. Please pick up and drop off your child in the designated areas.
Be patient, especially as we start the school year and the pick/up drop off routines are new to many families. We will have staff to support you and others outside.
Give yourself extra time to safely drop off/pick up.
Be patient with other parents/guardians in the drop off/pick up line.
No drop off/pick up in the bus lane.
Do not park in the drop off/pick up lane. If you need to park, use a designated parking spot and thank you for not parking against the red painted curb in the west end of the parking lot,
Drop off may begin no earlier than 8:30 AM because there is no student supervision until then.
Pull forward as far as you can. Discuss with your child(ren) the type of car (color, make, model) you will be in at pick up.
Use designated cross walks to access the parking lot or sidewalks.
Call the office by 2:00pm if there will be a change in the way your child will normally go home so the teacher can be made aware. (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday) Notify the office of changes by 12:00 PM on Wednesdays.
