Early Dismissal Week 4/26-4/30
The week of 4/26-4/30 students will be dismissed with a half day schedule. During this week we have a modified intersession week where students are given an opportunity to receive tutorial time (additional individual support) with teachers, Career Day and Intersession.
Students will be directed by their advisors who to seek out for additional support with their classes. If a student is caught up they can take this time to work on future assignments/projects or do self care activities such as exercising, reading a favorite book, painting, meditating.
Intersession is a class focused on a specific topic. This year some of those are baking, learning about other countries and movie analysis. Attendance is required everyday.

Senior Send Off GoFundMe
We're up to $1,917.00! Thank you so much to all of our donors! We still have a way to go. Please continue to share this link https://gofund.me/7929bd93 to help reach our fundraising goal in order to provide a meaningful and personal gift to each student in the Silver Oak Senior Class of 2021.
The Class of 2021 never envisioned their senior year to take place online. We have worked so hard to connect with them and continue to make our community feel whole. We want to do something for them that is tangible, thoughtful and something they can take with them to remember their teachers and faculty.
Please help us make this possible by considering donating as well sharing the following link:
