Silverbrook Mini-Night- You're Invited!

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.
