The Dragons' Lair

Our new Reading and Writing curriculum, CKLA (Core Knowledge Language Arts) is approved by the Indiana Department of Education and is aligned with the Science of Reading. This new curriculum has already shown to increase our students’ background knowledge in many areas. Student engagement and excitement has been clearly evident! If you would like to see more, please view this short video about the curriculum.

Silver Creek Elementary has made some changes to our report cards and informing families of their child's progress. Due to our adoption of a new, state approved Reading and Writing curriculum, we will move from Standards Based Reporting, which we have used in the past. Students will earn grades in each of the ILEARN tested domains.

Math: Number Sense, Computation and Algebraic Thinking, Geometry and Measurement, Data Analysis

ELA: Reading Foundations, Reading Comprehension, Writing

SCE will continue to follow assessment based grading, which means the students are only graded on assessments and their grade reflects their level of mastery. Students will still earn a numeric "grade." Grade 2 students will earn a 1,2, or 3 in each reporting domain. Grades 3-5 will earn a 1,2,3,4, or 5. Please see the attached for a breakdown of the numeric grades.

Beginning this year, students in grades 3-5 will be taking "Checkpoint" tests throughout the year in addition to the ILEARN test that is given annually in the spring. You will receive more information from your child's classroom teacher, but here is additional guidance from the Indiana Department of Education.

If you have not created your Parent Portal account, you will want to do this as soon as possible. This account will follow your child as long as they are enrolled in an SCSC school. This is where you can access grading information, attendance information, update your contact information, complete annual registration, and make payments to your child's account.

Our Report Cards will be posted on the Parent Portal each quarter. We encourage everyone to go to their parent portal and view their child's report card. Please view this video for information on how to access the report card.

If you do not have access to your parent portal please email your name, your student's name, and your email on file to SCEPortal@scsc.school.

Report cards will be posted on the portal on Thursday after each quarter ends.

With 900 students in our building, our Lost and Found can quickly get out of control. Our lost and found bin is in the lobby by our dragon. You can help us tremendously by simply placing your child's name on any extra article of clothing they may take off. This includes hoodies and jackets. We try to make sure anything found with a name gets back to its owner.

At the end of the nine weeks, all unclaimed articles will be donated to a local charity. If your child is missing something, please have them check the bin before Fall Break. Prents are also welcome to check the Lost and Found before or after any PTO meeting, or by callling the office to schedule a time.
