Big News!
I hope that you and your children have had a wonderful summer and you are ready for another incredible year at Silver Lake Elementary.
I wanted to share with you, Nicole Whiteside was announced as the new associate principal at Timberline Elementary. This is an incredible opportunity for Nicole to support students and staff in a new capacity and I am so excited for her! Nicole’s heart is in the instructional area of her duties and this opportunity will allow her to grow in this capacity!
We were fortunate to have some lead-time to prepare for this change and are thrilled that Nicole’s replacement is a very talented familiar face. Emma Selig, current GCISD Early Childhood Instructional coach, will step into the role of assistant principal and is thrilled to have the opportunity to serve the Silver Lake students, staff and families in a new capacity.
We also welcome a new counselor to our campus. Her name is Amy Bouchelle and she joins us from Birdville ISD. She has also worked in Amarillo, Moore and Norman, Oklahoma and she brings an array of experience. The most important thing that you need to know about Amy is that she has a heart for serving students and their families. She replaces Melissa Butler who had an opportunity drop in her lap where she will be working in her neighborhood school where her children will attend elementary. We are sad to see her go, but thrilled that this will bring some balance to her life.
Finally, we have hired a new learning liaison, Robert Rain. Robert brings a plethora of experience in education, most recently he has worked as State Literacy Liaison and Senior Field Trainer/Analyst at The Meadows Center for Preventing Educational Risk and The Vaughn Gross Center for Reading and Language Arts at The University of Texas at Austin. Prior to serving at the state level, he was a teacher in Texas public schools for over eleven years.
You will have the opportunity to meet our new leadership additions in the coming days as well as some outstanding educators that we have hired who will be serving your students this year. The one constant in life is change and we celebrate the new staff who have joined our team and are ready to give your children their heart and soul to make sure that they are successful.
We have missed all of our Shooting Stars and cannot wait to see you on August 17th.
