Principal's Corner
Thank you for all the wonderful ways the Slate Hill students and families showed appreciation to the teachers and staff this week, what an amazing Staff Appreciation Week!! Thank you to our Slate Hill PTA for the coffee truck, doughnuts and Bibibop this week too!
Dismissal - Until the end of the year, please note that all students will be dismissed at 2:45 (instead of a staggered dismissal). It would be helpful if parents who are picking up walkers would stand on/behind the colorful U.S. map area. In addition, please note that parents who are picking up car riders should stay in the car line and in their car. Thank you for your partnership!
Title 1 Survey- We need your help!
Title IA provides financial assistance to local educational agencies (LEAs) and schools with high numbers or high percentages of children from low-income families to help ensure that all children meet challenging state academic standards. Our school receives Title IA funding.
To help us continue to grow and improve our support of students, would you please take five minutes before May 6, 2022 to complete the survey linked below? Thank you!

Slate Hill is still collecting Pop Tabs!
The Ronald McDonald House collects the aluminum pop tabs from cans. They are able to generate thousands of dollars from our pop tab collection program every year and that helps them keep the lights on! How can I collect my tabs? Grab a clean container and start collecting your tabs! It could be a plastic bag, a jar, a bucket, or whatever else you have around. Please bring collected tabs to the Slate Hill Office and place in the Pop Tab Bucket. For more information, email mhiestand@wscloud.org
