STAFF OF THE WEEK

This week’s Staff of the Week is someone who works hard to make his students happy and want to come to math class. He makes jokes about everything and his personality lights up a room. Congratulations to the 5 Yellow Math Teacher, Mr. Richmond!

Silverbrook Camp was great success! Students were exposed to numerous experiences this week. 5th grade activities included; fishing, paddling a canoe, geocaching, cooking pudgie pies/smores and archery/axe throwing. 6th grade experienced a canoe relay, cooked hot dogs over an open fire, did a water study, went on a nature hunt, participated in Beast Teambuilding and competed in a cardboard boat race. These memories are priceless and will be with them for years to come. Thanks for supporting your child and sending the necessary items to make camp a great experience. If you visit the Silverbrook Facebook page, you will see many, many cool pictures!

As we work together to ensure a safe, productive, and positive learning environment for all students, we ask for your help in reinforcing some important guidelines about what items should not be brought to school.

Certain items, while seemingly harmless at home or in other contexts, could be viewed as threatening or cause concern if brought to a school environment.

Please go over this list with your child to ensure they understand these expectations:

Items NOT Allowed at School:

1. Toy Weapons or Replicas: Toys or replica guns, swords, knives, or water guns or related toys. Even if an item is a toy, it can always be mistaken for a real weapon.

2. Costume Accessories: Items such as fake knives, handcuffs, or other costume props that resemble dangerous objects

3. Pocket Tools (Multitools, Pocket Knives): Real tools like Swiss Army knives, even if intended for practical purposes, can be considered dangerous in a school setting.

4. Sharp Objects: Items like nail clippers, scissors, or even certain art supplies could be seen as hazardous if used or handled improperly. Teachers usually provide any necessary supplies for class activities to avoid these concerns.

5. Laser Pointers: Although often used for presentations, laser pointers can cause distractions and may be harmful if pointed at someone’s eyes.

6. Medication: Any medication (even over-the-counter items like ibuprofen or allergy pills) should be managed through the school nurse. Students should not carry (unless authorized) or share medications.

7. Lighters or Matches: While sometimes brought to school innocently by students who may not understand their potential danger, they can obviously be very dangerous.

8. Self-defense items: Items meant for personal protection, such as pepper spray or small tasers, could be alarming to many as they are typically viewed as weapons in a school environment.

9. Hunting Equipment, Ammunition, or Ammunition Casings: Hunting equipment like bows, arrows, knives, and guns are always prohibited at school. Keep in mind that bringing a single bullet or bullet casing to school, even without a gun, can also raise serious concerns.

Help Us Keep School Safe!

This is a great opportunity to remind your children about the importance of school safety. Thank you for your cooperation and support in helping us maintain a positive school environment!

Silverbrook Mini Night is scheduled for October 2nd (5th grade) and October 3rd (6th grade). Doors open at 5:45, and the event starts at 6:00 and runs until 8:00. This night provides an opportunity for you to walk through an abbreviated version of your child's daily schedule. Core classes will be 15 minutes, and keys will be 10 minutes. Teachers will share information about their individual classes and you will have a chance to ask questions.

5th grade families will experience core and key classes while 6th grade families will have the opportunity to experience core classes and view a presentation on internet safety in the gym. Students are encouraged to attend with their families.

Your child will be bringing home an invitation for mini night in the next week. They will also have a schedule written out for you to follow when you arrive to your first class. More information can be found on the Silverbrook webpage homepage on the "mini night" button.

We are excited to introduce you to Great Expectations, a specialized program designed to support students with very individualized needs. This program is an important part of our commitment to ensuring that every student receives the attention, resources, and care they need to thrive both academically and personally.

Great Expectations has been part of our district program for more than a decade. In the past, these services have been provided at the Education Service Center. At the beginning of the school year, we were able to move the program to Silverbrook allowing students to have access to a larger educational space, a playground, the gymnasium, and other enrichment activities.

We welcome the opportunity to invite the Great Expectations staff and students into our school community.

Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) helps prepare members for future careers by providing opportunities for leadership, teamwork, service, and improving content knowledge through competitions. FBLA is a national organization that you can start in 6th grade and continue through college and your professional career. Students can connect with middle and high school students through the West Bend Chapter. Our first informational meeting is Thursday, October 10th in the library, 3:10-4:10pm. Come learn what FBLA is all about!
