~We had a fantastic first week getting to know each one of our FABULOUS first graders. We look forward to all the new year has in store.

~Please email us if the way your child goes home changes. We check our email throughout the day.

~Each Friday is Spirit Day at Silver Lake. Your child is invited to wear a blue, green or Silver Lake shirt to celebrate school spirit.

From time to students come across a "just in case" clothing situation during their day at school (i.e. spill at lunch, wet slide, muddy fall on the playground or accident). We would love your help preparing for a "just in case" clothing situation. Please place a baggie in your child's backpack with the following items:

• 1 pair of socks

• 1 pair of shorts or pants

• 1 shirt

• 1 pair of underwear

Are you looking for a way to contribute to your child's classroom? Check out the list below for ideas.

• disinfecting wipes

• liquid soap

• liquid soap refills

• hand sanitizer

• colored copy paper

• stickers

• stamp pads

• flair pens

• envelopes

• snack sized baggies

• sandwich sized baggies

• gallon sized baggies

• Sharpies 

• white paper plates

• brown paper lunch bags

Your child is welcome to bring a water bottle to school each day. Bottles may be refilled at classroom sinks throughout the day, as needed. Please label your child's water bottle with his or her name in case classmates have similar or matching water bottles or to help it find its home if it gets misplaced.

• School begins at 7:40 each morning

• Lunch will be at 10:15 - 10:45

• Recess will be at 10:45 - 11:15

• Walkers will be dismissed from the courtyard doors. Please carry your car tag so teachers are able to identify you quickly.
