Silver Gate Elementary

I would like to express my gratitude to all parents who attended Parent-Teacher Conferences the last week. Your active involvement in your child's education is a crucial element of their academic success, and the constructive conversations that took place during these conferences are indicative of the strong partnership between home and school. Together, we can continue to provide the best possible support for our students.

As we head into break, I want to take a moment to thank you all for participating in our SG Gratitude Challenge. I am so enjoying watching our students express their gratitude through speaking, writing, movement, and art. I hope you're taking the time to appreciate life's little blessings and expressing gratitude for the relationships, experiences, and opportunities that make each of your lives unique. I hope you all find a moment during the break to complete week four of the challenge.

I am truly thankful for the entire Silver Gate community and the kind and collaborative spirit that makes our school so special, regardless of the month of the year. On behalf of the entire Silver Gate Staff, I wish you a very happy Fall Break and Thanksgiving. Please enjoy, and stay healthy and safe. We look forward to seeing you all back on December 2nd.

If you have not turned in your Impact Aid Survey Form that went home last week please do so as soon as possible as we need to get them all turned into the district by 11/20/24. Or you can also submit the form in your parent portal account. It only takes a second to complete. If you lost the form or need help setting up your parent portal account please contact Renee Erickson at rerickson@sandi.net.

We appreciate you all. Thank you!

Please stop by to go through the lost & found items. We will be donating all leftover items when we leave on winter break in December.

The Unicycle Club will be in the OB Holiday Parade on Saturday, December 7th, parade starts at 5:05. Come out and support these dedicated students as they showoff all their hard work.

A beautiful and well-maintained school environment is essential for our children’s learning and well-being. Your donations help fund facilities improvements and site beautification projects, creating a welcoming and inspiring space for our students.

Recent projects have included (landscaping, playground upgrades, and classroom enhancements.) With your support, we can continue to make Silver Gate a place where students thrive. Donations are tax-deductible, and employer matching is available, so please consider contributing and checking with your employer about matching gifts.

Thank you for helping us create a beautiful and nurturing environment for our children!

As part of habit 3, put first things first, we think about how having a place for everything (being organized) might help reach goals. Talk with your kids about how they might organize their things, in school and at home. Use the attach list and add things that may apply to their life. Talk through the list as you go about how each one will be beneficial, and what would happen if they didn't organize a "place for everything."

If your child participates in After School Enrichment programs at Silver Gate, or would like to, you need to be checking our website for the most up to date schedules. There are dates where programs do not run within the regular cycle due to school wide events or early out days for conferences.

Go to: https://silvergate.sandiegounified.org/, After School Programs, and click After School Enrichment Programs 24/25.

Please do not send your child to school when they are sick.

When your child must be absent for any reason, please call the office at 858-988-2200 ext. 1 by 9:00 a.m. every day of non-attendance, giving the exact reason for the absence. You can also email Renee Erickson at rerickson@sandi.net

Any child arriving after 7:50 a.m. must stop in the office and pick up a tardy slip. This is disruptive to your child and the entire class. Let's set good habits early in the school year to arrive on time. Silver Gate had the highest attendance in the Point Loma Cluster last year! Let’s keep up the good work!

Our Health Office is staffed five days per week. Our Health Techs, Mrs. Nicole Lopez (T, Th, F) and Mrs. Anna Stepanof (W) will be with us with us four days and our Nurse Amy Elkind (M) is with us one day a week. They are able to help out with routine and out of the ordinary health needs. Below you will find links to forms that you may need for your own children's health care needs. Please do not hesitate to reach out to the Health Office with any questions throughout the year. Nicole Lopez at nlopez2@sandi.net or Amy at aelkind@sandi.net
