Silver Gate Elementary

It is hard to believe, but this is the last Newsletter as we head into this final week of the school year! We have so much to celebrate as we reflect on this year and I am so proud of all of our students and their accomplishments. Leafing through the pages of the yearbook brought so much joy as I relived so many incredible moments. Silver Gate is a special school and I am so lucky to be able to watch our students grow! Thank you all for being incredible partners in education, we could not do what we do without your love and support!

It was so wonderful to see so many families at our Open House. Walking through rooms filled with student academic and art work, seeing the STEAM Lab and Library filled with our students celebrating their growth. Open House is truly a celebration of our students' hard work and perseverance. I hope you all enjoyed the evening. Also, a big thank you to FSG for providing dinner prior to the event. It greatly appreciated by all.

Thank you to all third and fourth grade families for your support during our State Testing window! Our students were focused and engaged during their testing time and thanks to their excellent attendance, we are completely finished.

I wish you all a wonderful summer break filled with relaxation, adventure, and good health! For those of you returning to Silver Gate on August 12th, we look forward to welcoming you back. For those moving on, we will miss you and wish you well!
