Silver Trail Elementary
Weekly Rundown --- August 15, 2022
Welcome Back
Welcome Back, Miners!
School is just around the corner! We are so excited to see old faces and new next week. Summer went by in a flash and we hope you are ready for another great year at Silver Trail!
I strive for frequent family communication, so please expect the Weekly Rundown communication from me each Friday around 4pm. This communication will include a summary from the week before and a look at the week ahead, as well as any upcoming events/information.
Our teachers and staff return to work on Monday and we will be ready for the first day of school on Thursday, August 25th. Don't forget to attend the Open House Tuesday the 23rd from 4-6pm. Swing by to meet your teacher, bring your supplies, tour the building, and drop by the PTA booth.
We'd like to welcome and introduce some new Miners to the team:
In Kindergarten, Mrs. Kibby and Miss Giermyski are new faces, joining Mrs. Snyder and Mrs. Svejda (formerly Miss Muro). You may recognize both Mrs. Kibby and Miss Giermyski as they both were Silver Trail staff members last school year in different roles. In second grade, Miss Mattie is joining the team and in fifth grade we'd like to welcome Miss Pearl. We'd also like to welcome our new resource teachers, Mrs. Kasel and Mrs. Ambler.
We also have a few new paraprofessionals in the building this year, Mrs. Fletcher, Mrs. Ford, Ms. Nelson, and Mrs. Price. This year we are happy to announce we have a full time School Social Worker on staff, her name is Mrs. Monreal-Luna. Finally, Mrs. Boulware will be our keyboarding teacher and part-time Student Support Manager.
We are excited for you to meet all of our new teachers and staff!
