The Silverhawks' Nest

Silverhawk Families,

As we wrap up another wonderful school year, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you. Your support and involvement have been crucial in making this year a success for our students and our school community.

Together, we have celebrated achievements, navigated challenges, and created lasting memories. It has been inspiring to see our students grow, learn, and thrive in such a nurturing environment. Your dedication to their education and well-being has made a significant difference.

As we head into the summer break, I encourage you to take this time to relax, enjoy each other’s company, and create new experiences together. Whether you’re traveling, spending time in nature, or simply enjoying some downtime at home, I hope your summer is filled with joy and relaxation.

Thank you once again for being an integral part of our school community. We look forward to welcoming our students back in the fall, reenergized and ready for new adventures. Wishing you all a safe, happy, and fulfilling summer!

Sincerely,

Principal Fitzsimmons

We are nearly finished with our first year of Preschool at the Traditional Academy at Bellair, and we could not have asked for a better first year experience. Our students and families have grown, just as we have as teachers. We are so proud of our accomplishments this year, and have enjoyed being a part of growing our Bellair community. We will miss those who are moving on to kindergarten, new schools, and new endeavors. But we are also looking forward to another successful year to come where we can make new friends and share in some new adventures and studies! We are already making plans for the upcoming year to keep our returning students engaged, and get our new students excited for learning. We want to thank our families for joining us this year and lending us the support it takes to make this program successful. Bellair Silverhawks!

Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is an evidence-based, tiered framework for supporting students’ behavioral, academic, social, emotional, and mental health. When implemented with fidelity, PBIS improves social emotional competence, academic success, and school climate. It also improves teacher health and wellbeing. It is a way to create positive, predictable, equitable and safe learning environments where everyone thrives. We use ‘students’ to refer to all children and youth in any educational or therapeutic setting (e.g., K-12 school, early childhood program, treatment program, juvenile justice program). Learn more about PBIS in schools, classrooms, early childhood programs and juvenile justice programs on those topic pages.

Our new PBIS Acronym is S.O.A.R. Silverhawks show Safety, Ownership, Achievement and Respect. Please help us to instill these behaviors at home, so we can all "S.O.A.R. to #Extraordinary Heights Together!"
