Parents:

Please remember that we must have a note sent in or e-mailed to the

registrar when your student has missed school. The clinic is being

overrun with students that come back to school after several days of

absences without this information. Remember, a student with a “failed

screening” should not be on campus. That student would require one

of three options before returning.

Those options (for review), are 1. A negative covid test, 2. An alternate

diagnosis from your doctor, or 3. A ten-day quarantine. Please review this information on the

PISD web site or call me with questions.

Vision and hearing screens for Pre-K, Kindergarten, First and Third graders have been done for

on campus learners. If you received a referral for an eye or hearing exam (because your

student failed those screenings), it is important that you return those referrals to me.

Again, questions concerning this can be addressed to me during school hours.

This school year has flown by, and I know our

stars are looking forward to summer break.

Activities, camps, parks, lessons, sports, and

vacations are just some of the many things that

will keep our summers packed. The last cycle of

lessons have focused on teaching our students

how to 1) recognize deceptive behavior, 2) trust

our feelings, and 3) build self-confidence. I encourage students to have fun this summer, but

also remember their personal safety rule.

I am proud of what our students and staff have accomplished this year. They have shown much

growth and resiliency.

Your Caring Counselor,

Ms. Chapman

Thank you to everyone who supported the library through the

online book fair. I don't have the final numbers yet, but it was

definitely a success!

Just a reminder that all library books will be due by Friday, May 14,

2021. Books that have been damaged or lost will need to be paid

for by sending in a check payable to Silverlake Elementary (please

include DL number) or cash in the exact amount (I cannot make

change.)

Summer time is just around the corner. Information about the public library's summer reading

program will be sent home closer to the end of school. Also, students in third and fourth

(fifth also) grade have the option to participate in the Bluebonnet Reading Program. Look for

information on this program coming home after the STAAR test.

I hope everyone has a wonderful, relaxing summer. Remember to read, read, read!

Happy reading,

DeAna Henderson

Hello Silverlake families!

Below are answers to some music FAQs.

What safety precautions are being taken for in-person learners?

We will be quietly singing - everyone will wear masks the entire class

Students are socially distanced in assigned seats

Students use hand sanitizer upon entering and exiting the room

What are the music expectations for virtual learners?

I will post the weekly Seesaw activity every Friday. (Responses can be completed

any day of the week - scheduled PEAMS day does not matter.)

Please send responses by the following Thursday at 4 pm – they will be archived

(closed for responses) after the written due date.

Music activities can be found by clicking your child’s name + picture/avatar in the

top left-hand corner and selecting the “music” class tab in the drop down.

IF YOU DON’T SEE AN ACTIVITY: refresh the page, log out/log back in

Completion of Seesaw activities will determine the nine weeks grade for virtual

students

*As stated in the instructions – completing the music activities posted on Seesaw are

OPTIONAL for in-person learners.

Will there be music programs or performances this year?

The policy given by the Pearland ISD Fine Arts department, was that there will be no

elementary performances until further notice.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions! Thanks for your continued support.

As the year ends, Silverlake artists have continued to do a wonderful job of learning to

be creative. I am always impressed by the creative minds of Silverlake artists! As a

reminder, if you are a Remote learner, a Seesaw activity will be posted. Students have

a week to complete assignment; completion of Seesaw activities will determine the

nine weeks grade. Assignments will then be archived, closed for responses. If you do

not see an activity please try refreshing the page, or try to log out/log back in, per

technology troubleshooting tips. In school learners do not need to complete

assignments. They will receive assignment during their PEAMS rotation.

Thank you for your continued support!

you and appreciate all of the help you have given us! Good Luck, please keep us up to

date on Silverlake Star success!
