Look for the PTA to welcome your students at the front entrance, and then meet us on the playground for popsicles after you visit your classroom. Remember, if you buy your school supplies through our School Tool Box program, those boxes will be delivered straight to your classroom, so you can come to open house empty-handed!!

5:30-6:30pm – All families, visit school, meet your teacher, sign up for PTA!

Parents – please save the date, Tuesday, September 5th at 8:45am to meet up in the MPR/cafeteria at Silver Springs. We’ll have coffee, donuts, and the first PTA meeting of the year.
SCHOOL TOOL BOX DELIVERY
The Silver Springs PTA runs the School Tool Box program. This awesome program saves parents the time and hassle of shopping for school supplies, and it raises funds for the PTA! Win-win!
If you ordered a School Tool Box before July 9th, your child’s supply box will arrive at school and be delivered to their classroom in time for the first day, September 5th. So you do not need to do anything at this point! Whoooohooo!!
If you did not pre-purchase a School Tool Box, that’s ok. Northville Public Schools will provide all that your child needs. However, many parents still choose to purchase supplies. If you like to shop on your own, here is a grade-level list of the recommended supplies.
PTA ON SOCIAL MEDIA CAN BE YOUR BEST FRIEND!
If you’re on Facebook or X (formerly Twitter), please like and follow the Silver Springs PTA pages. Add us to your favorites, like, and comment with us to help keep the connection going! You do not have to be a PTA member – the social media benefits are for everyone!! You’ll get announcements, reminders, and photos about all the awesome things happening at Silver Springs. Plus, we’ll be running some promotions soon for prizes and more!

Schedule Change for 2023-2024 School Year
On these days, all regular classes will be canceled to allow our dedicated teaching staff to engage in valuable training and development opportunities. This professional development is designed to further enrich teaching methods, explore innovative strategies, and stay updated with the latest advancements in education. Ultimately, the goal is to enhance student learning and ensure that children continue to receive a high-quality education.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. However, we firmly believe that the benefits gained from these training sessions will significantly outweigh the temporary adjustment.
Thank you for being an integral part of our school community.

Student User Account Passwords
To assist students and parents, the new password will be added to Mistar ParentConnection as well as StudentConnection in advance so that students can look up the new password prior to activation. This password will be visible to parents and students but will not be activated until the first day of school. Prior to the change on September 5th, the old password will still be active. The exception to this will be newly enrolled students. We will activate newly enrolled student accounts on Tuesday, August 22nd.
Password Reset Timeline
- August 21, 2023 - The student's new password will be visible in Mistar ParentConnection and StudentConnection but will not be the active password.

NEW: Free Breakfast and Lunch For ALL Students
In order to operate the program successfully, we are actively seeking additional Food Service staff members to work in our kitchens. If you or someone you know are interested in joining the Food Service team, please contact our Food Service department at 248-344-3690.
Finally, please be aware that the Michigan School Meals Program will supplement the National School Lunch Program and the School Breakfast Program, meaning that parents of students who would otherwise be eligible for free or reduced meals should continue to submit applications for free or reduced meals for their students. Even though meals will be free this year, it is vitally important that parents who meet, or believe they may meet, the free and reduced income guidelines, submit an application to ensure maximum benefits for their students and the District. Some of these benefits include:
- Athletics and activities discounts for student fees associated with participating in athletics and activities programs
- SAT, ACT and AP test discounts for academic testing
- College application discounts for college application fees
- Discounted internet access services
- Federal, state and local school funding for school budgets
- Summer EBT

The system will not allow you to order after the time listed above. For your convenience, meals can be preordered up to 30 days in advance.

Northville Special Education Parent Advisory Committee (SEPAC)
Dear Northville Families,
I hope you are enjoying your summer! As many of you know, we have a parent group that families of our special needs students can join called SEPAC (Special Education Parent Advisory Committee). There is a SEPAC at the county level and every district has a "chapter" as well.
The purpose of this group is to disseminate information from the county group to the district level to better inform our special needs families of valuable information and resources. Like the name suggests, this is a group led by 2 parents which Northville Public Schools supports.
Please see the following letter from them regarding building level representatives-please consider becoming one of them!
Best,
Beth Santer
