AdvancED Parent Survey - We Welcome Your Feedback
Dear Silver Springs Elementary Parents and Guardians,
In an effort to guide decision making and best practices for student learning at Silver Springs Elementary, and across Northville Public Schools, we are inviting school parents and guardians to complete the annual AdvancED Parent Survey. The goal of the anonymous survey is to engage our school communities in a two-way communication that will help district and school leaders gain a deeper understanding of the areas of strength and effectiveness at our individual schools and district-wide, along with opportunities for improvement.
School Improvement work at Silver Springs is focused on Best Practice Instruction, Professional Learning Communities, and Intervention and Enrichment. Our Best Practice Instructional strategies include Reader’s, Writer’s, and Math Workshop, learning targets, formative assessment, feedback, and technology integration. The professional learning communities at Silver Springs meet regularly during Extended Time Meetings and Collegial Meetings to engage in Collaborative Data Analysis that drive professional conversations around teaching and learning in order to improve outcomes for all students. Intervention and Enrichment includes providing in-school targeted supplemental support through our Multi-Tiered System of Support for students that meet grade level specific eligibility criteria. We also continue to be A Leader in Me School where we cultivate leadership skills, problem solving, interpersonal skills, and organizational skills in all our students.
The survey will be available online from Monday, February 13, 2017 until Monday, March 6, 2017 at the link below. It is our desire to have as many Silver Springs families as possible participate in the survey.
Parent Survey - Elementary Schools
If you have children who attend other Northville schools, please complete a separate survey for each school.
Students and staff from across the district will also have an opportunity to complete similar surveys over the next several weeks. AdvancED has separate surveys for students in kindergarten through second grade; third through fifth grade; and sixth through 12th grade.
At Silver Springs Elementary student surveys will be given between February 20, 2017 and March 6, 2017. Parents are welcome to preview the student survey in advance by contacting our school office. If you prefer not to have your student participate in the survey, please provide written notice to your child’s classroom teacher by February 17, 2017.
Sincerely,
Katie Booth
Principal, Silver Springs Elementary School

Supporting the The 7 Habits at home!
Habit #4 - Think Win-Win- Everyone can Win!
What this means: Think about others as well as yourself. Long-term relationships require mutual respect and mutual benefit.
“I make deposits into others’ Emotional Bank Accounts.”
“When conflict arises, I look for third alternatives.”
“I balance courage for getting what I want, with
consideration for what others want.”
How can I do this in my life?
1. Live by the Golden Rule- Treat others the same way you want them to treat you.
