Dear Parents/Guardians, Happy Friday! It is hard to believe we have reached the month of November! I wanted to bring a few items to your attention as we close out another great week at Silver Creek… We evaluate the weather conditions each day this time of year, and try to schedule time for students to go outside for recess. Please make sure your child brings their cold weather gear to school. We love to get outside when we can! Please note…school will not be in session on Friday, November 10th as we observe Veterans Day. Finally, just a friendly reminder that we are continuing to upload community flyers into a “virtual backpack” rather than making copies for all student folders. Please see the attached link…https://www.tcusd2.org/browse/200749 Thank you and have a great weekend! Mike Speer

📢 Attention parents! There will be NO school on Oct. 26th & 27th due to Parent/Teacher conferences. We value the partnership with our families and look forward to productive discussions about our students' progress. Mark your calendars! 🗓️ #TriadTogether

Dear Parents/Guardians, Happy Friday! I wanted to take a moment to share the following information as we close the books on the first quarter of the school year… 1st quarter report cards will be accessible under the portfolio tile within Skyward on Wednesday, October 25th. Skills for PE, Music, and Art are assessed at the end of the 2nd and 4th quarters. The Troy Fire Department will be at school with us on Wednesday, October 25th for a special "Halloween Pumpkin Drop Assembly" on our blacktop! Also, our “PTO Kiss a Pig Event” will be taking place in between the dropping of the pumpkins! The assembly schedule is as follows, and parents are welcome to join us for the fun! (12:40-1:40 - Pre-K, Kindergarten, 1st grade) and (1:40-2:40 - 2nd grade, 3rd grade, 4th grade, 5th grade). Just a reminder, Parent Teacher Conferences will take place on Thursday, October 26th and Friday, October 27th. School will not be in session on these days. Your child's teacher will communicate with you to arrange a time for a conference. Finally, this is just a friendly reminder that the front doors of our school do not officially open to welcome students until 8:30 am. If your child is a walker or a biker rider, they should be arriving between 8:30 and 8:50. We’ve had students ask if they can wait in our vestibule until 8:30, and unfortunately we are not able to accommodate this due to lack of space. Also, this zone of our school is not supervised by staff until 8:30. Thanks for your understanding with this matter. Have a great weekend! Mike Speer
