Did you know that Silver Lake, like all Wisconsin school districts operates under state-set revenue limits? Because of that, large scale facility improvements cannot be funded out of the general operating budget without significant reductions to educational programs. Instead, the state allows districts to hold capital referendums as a way of funding such projects. Please cast an informed vote - learn more about the referendum on the District's website. https://www.silverlakejt1.k12.wi.us/page/referendum-2025

1st grade loved collecting items for their collage. The book "Snowballs" by Lois Ehlert was a great inspiration. Students worked on proportion, tracing, cutting, gluing, painting, blending, and creative expression. Let it Snow!
Kindergarten practiced drawing and painting landscapes. Next week we will draw arctic animals using shapes.

Our Plastic Drive has Come to an End
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Student safety is our top priority, especially during arrival and dismissal times. To ensure a safe and efficient process, we are asking for your cooperation with an important safety measure.
When dropping off your child, please ensure they exit the vehicle from the passenger side of the vehicle only. Allowing students to exit on the street side creates significant safety risks due to moving traffic. Even if an adult is helping the child out of the car we ask that you do this on the curbside. This may prove difficult if we have snow in which case we ask the students only exit at cross walks or areas where the snow is removed. Our goal is to take any risk of a child or adult suffering injury from another vehicle.
We appreciate your attention to this matter and your continued support in prioritizing student safety.
Thank you for your cooperation.
