A Message from Mrs. Booth
It's hard to believe that we are already into the month of October. September flew by because we were having so much welcoming everyone back into school, getting to know each other, and learning routines and procedures.
Now that the school year is well underway I am excited to share with you a few items that we have been and will continue to be working on throughout the year. These are our "Big Rocks" for the year.
Leadership - Personal Effectiveness
Culture - School Belonging
Academics - Growth Mindset and Academic Goal Achievement
Hopefully you will see things coming home in your students backpack related to these areas, and we will continue to keep you updated throughout the year in the Eagle Express, PTA Meetings, Parent-Teacher Conferences, Weekly Teacher Communications, our Silver Springs Twitter account, and during our NEST activities.
Have a great week!
Thank you,
Katie Booth
