Elementary Back-to-School Special

Elementary parents, here's your one-stop guide to all things related to this year's elementary back-to-school night! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Ellen Rogers, the Elementary Administrative Assistant by email. We begin each school year with our Back To School Night, where your child will come meet his or her teacher, bring school supplies, and visit with friends as well. We look forward to having everyone back soon! Our schedule for Elementary Back To School Night will be as follows: Thursday, August 7, 2014 “Back to School Night”

• 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. | New Family/Kindergarten Orientation in the Chapel
  • This will be a WELCOME meeting for new elementary parents and students and all kindergarten parents. All new students will receive the class/teacher placement on this evening. After the group meeting, Kindergarten parents will go for a meeting with their child’s teacher in the classrooms. We recommend that you DO NOT bring your Kindergarten student this night because it could be somewhat overwhelming to their gentle spirits. New students (1st-5th) will be dismissed to their child’s classroom to meet the teacher and drop off school supplies. Kindergarten Students: We have a “phase in” period of three days - August 13, 14, and 15. Your child will be assigned ONE of those days to attend a full day of school. Your child will stay home the other two days that are not designated as their “phase in” date. On Monday, August 18, all Kindergarteners will attend full time. You will receive your child’s “phase in” date during the meeting with your child’s teacher, as well as many more details concerning the start of the school year. ***Due to the amount of information given, we ask that no preschool students/siblings attend. New students in 1st – 5th grade are encouraged to attend. ***Parents should return all required forms to their child’s teacher on this night. Please visit the parent portal at parents.silverdaleba.org for all information regarding those forms.
• 7:00 – 8:30 p.m. | “Back to School Night” for all elementary students
  • Students and parents may drop by the Academy at any time from 7:00 – 8:30p.m. Elementary students (1st – 5th) and parents will receive their class/teacher placement that evening. Parents should return all required forms to their child’s teacher. Please visit the parent portal for all information regarding those forms.
