A Message from Mrs. Booth
We have had the VERY BEST first week of school! Our halls and classrooms were filled with so many smiles and so much laughter! We have been working hard on routines, procedures, and building our class communities this week.
We are getting closer and closer to our building updates being complete. We are looking forward to sharing them with you next week at Open House.
Thank you for sharing your children with us!
Be well,
Katie Booth

Arrival and Dismissal in the Carpool Lane

Video: How to Merge
To ensure the car loop works efficiently, effectively and safely we need you to do the following:
- Form TWO lanes as you enter the parking lot, to keep cars off Silver Springs Drive.
- MERGE alternating lanes when you approach the dumpsters. Please watch this video: How to Merge
- Pull ALL THE WAY forward in the drop off/pick up lane..
- Try to stay BUMPER TO BUMPER in the loop, don’t leave space between cars.
Thank you for your grace and patience as everyone learns the proper procedures for utilizing our loop.

What is the Silver Springs PTA?
Simply, the PTA is a group of parents that have organized to work to help children thrive
and learn — that means fundraising, educating parents, helping teachers/staff,
advocating for legislation to ensure every child gets a high-quality education, and
organizing activities in our school community. We hope each family and teacher joins
our PTA to show commitment and support to our PTA and all the things we provide for
Silver Springs.
Invest In Your Child
The Silver Springs PTA is looking forward to many activities planned this year! To fund
all the school activities and functions, we need your family to make a generous donation
to support our Silver Springs PTA. You do not need to be a PTA member to make a
donation. 100% of your tax-deductible donation goes directly back to our students and
Silver Springs.

Grade K-3 ROBOTICS is ready to sign up.!!!!!!!!!
We are excited to start a new Robotic season. The theme for the season is CARGO CONNECT
The cost is $65 per kid and we will meet on TUE 6-7pm from end of September until December
Parents, this program will be run by volunteer parent coaches for our students.There will be some challenges and problems to solve but the goal is to make this a fun and exciting experience for your student. FIRST requires for each team 2 parent volunteers. FIRST calls these coaches. We need 2 coaches per team of 4 kids. Don't worry about WEDO 2.0, what will be used to "program" the LEGO robot will be controlled by an app. It's really simple. There aren't any formal programming skills required. Just the fun of letting kids play with LEGOs and to solve the challenge.
Grade K-3 sign up https://forms.gle/eDxxi1yqg75yDreH9
