Elementary JTerm Information
JTerm has become a January tradition that our children and families look forward to every year!
You can find everything you need to know about Elementary JTerm 2019, including links to registration, on the Parent Portal here! Registration closes November 30th, so don't delay - registration is mandatory. Take your pick between an on-campus JTerm experience or a Family Enrichment Trip!
Share Your Christmas
Every year, we partner with the Chattanooga Area Food Bank to help feed those in need throughout the winter season. This year is no exception. We have ONLY TWO WEEKS to make this huge project a reality.
Please start bringing in those canned food items. We do ask that you stick strictly to cans for this Food Drive. There are many coupons in local newspapers and elsewhere to help with this service project.
You can also send in a check for $10-$20 or more. Checks are to be made payable to SBA. Make sure it is in an envelope with your child's name on it so they can receive credit. The class from each school with the most raised will receive a special prize and a dress down day will be given for 10 cans or $10. We ask that each child try and bring in 10-20 cans.
It is truly life-changing for those in need and we appreciate your support.
Save The Date - Two Christmas Program Performances
Thursday, December 6th: 6:30 p.m.
Friday, December 7th: 9:00 a.m.
Thursday, December 6th Evening Performance: 6:30 p.m.
Everyone is welcome to attend this performance, however, we are encouraging grandparents to attend the Friday matinee. This will help with crowd control, as well. There will be more information to come regarding arrival times, dropping your child off, etc. It is mandatory that all students attend this performance.
Friday, December 7th Matinee: 9:00 a.m. Grandparent’s Day Special
You are welcome to attend this performance, but this program will especially honor our grandparents. We will have photo booths, classroom visits, and special giveaways. Students may leave with their family at the conclusion of this event. It is mandatory that all students attend this performance.
Thank you for your continued support and we look forward to seeing everyone!

Box Tops for Education
It’s time to send in those Box Tops! Send your Box Tops in a baggie labeled with your homeroom teacher’s name so that your student’s class will get the credit. Please remember to cut on the dotted line to make it easier for volunteers to attach it to the template. The spring deadline is Friday, February 22, 2019.
We appreciate your support! If you have any questions, please contact Nicole Doremus, PTF Incentives Coordinator, at ptf@silverdaleba.org.
Important Information
REMINDER: The convenience of automatic enrollment was live as of January 2018! Your child is now conveniently re-enrolled each year without lifting a finger. Should anything change, all you need to do is schedule an appointment with your child’s principal and complete a withdrawal form no later than March 15th.
The $240 re-enrollment fee will be billed to your account annually on March 16th.
Tuition will automatically be billed via RenWeb.
Failure to withdraw before March 15th will incur a 50% charge of the upcoming school year’s tuition.
Thank you for entrusting your child's education to us. We consider it a privilege to be part of your family's life!
“Apply thine heart unto instruction,
and thine ears to the words of knowledge.”
Proverbs 23:12
