Silver Trail Elementary

Welcome back to another exciting school year at Silver Trail! We are thrilled to welcome students back next Thursday, August 24th. Whether you are a returning family or family new to the area, we are excited to have all of our Miners back in the building.

A couple of housekeeping items:

• If you are new to Silver Trail or have moved, please bring in a water, electric, or gas bill as soon as possible.
• If you DO NOT plan on returning to Silver Trail, please call the office (208-472-9731) as soon as possible to unenroll.

Here at Silver Trail we believe in supporting all students to reach their full potential. Here is what we believe and what we are committed to in supporting your child's education:

Miners’ Mission

Reaching our full potential through educational excellence

Miners’ Collective Commitments

• We are committed to consistent high expectations for academics and behaviors for all students and staff.

• We are committed to a systematic approach to data-driven strategic interventions in order to support and enrich the learning of all students.

• We are committed to working collaboratively to examine data, plan instruction, share strategies, support team members, and cultivate a shared responsibility of our students.

• We are committed to growing and learning together as a school community.

• We are committed to celebrating the success of all learners through a positive, supportive culture where a strong sense of community is felt.

• We are committed to creating positive relationships and open, consistent communication with our families and our community.

TODAY at 4:00pm, parents and guardians are able to log into their PowerSchool to find student teachers for the year. If you looked previously and were able to see a teacher, please log back into the PowerSchool system after 4pm today; it is very possible that classroom placements have changed, as they were not ready for parents to see yet. Our teachers spend hours putting together these balanced classrooms based on student need and many other considerations. Click the photo for the PowerSchool link.

At some schools, student pick up and drop off is harder to do than getting Taylor Swift concert tickets! We aim to make it a smooth and safe experience for everyone, but it takes everyone doing their part to ensure it goes as planned. Please follow the directions below and help us out!

Our district is now using LINQ Connect as the online nutrition portal.

It will be available August 14th (TODAY) for parents/guardians to:
