SILVER LAKE ELEMENTARY ABOUT OUR SCHOOL
Silver Lake Elementary offers an exciting learning environment for students in grades 1–5.

Our focus is on the mastery of basic academic and thinking skills, hands-on learning, enrichment activities and remedial assistance (wherever needed). Technology education is embedded into all that we do, as is a commitment to foster positive behavioral skills and provide educational experiences that will help our students to become confident, successful learners.

In addition to its classroom teachers, Silver Lake has a principal; assistant principal; art, music, technology and physical education teachers; librarian; counselor; nurse and psychologist.

We invite you to learn more about our school by exploring this site. Whether you are a current member of the Silver Lake “family,” a prospective homeowner, or an alumni returning for a cyberspace homecoming, Silver Lake Elementary welcomes you!
