The Wildcat Way
January 2022
Happy New Year From Silas!
A new year a better Silas! We are so excited to be back with our students after a restful break! We've got tons of exciting things in store for our Wildcats this year, and we're so glad to have our students and you with us for 2022!
Family Reading Night- A SUCCESS!
What an awesome turn out for our Family Reading Night in December! It was so good to have students and adults in the building again, sharing the wonderful gift of reading with one another! We already have some incredible ideas for our Family Math Night on February 24th from 6-7:30pm! Stay tuned for more exciting information!
Winter Recess Guidlines
Like it or not, Winter is finally here, and we wanted to go over the guidelines for recess during the winter months:
- Students will have recess outside as long as the windchill is 20 Degrees or above.
- Students with snow pants and snow boots will be allowed to play in the snow.
- If your child is in need of winter items, please contact the office.
Respect, It's the Wildcat Way!
All school year long, Silas Willard has been focusing in on respect. We ask students what should respect look like in the classroom, the hallways, at recess or lunch, as well as outside of school. Students know and understand the value of respecting others and feeling respected themselves. If you have a moment, you may want to ask your student what respect is and how they use it at home, school, or wherever they go. Their answers may amaze you!
