Full time professional educators teach general music, physical education, and library skills. Fifth and sixth grade students can also participate in band or orchestra. A very active Student Council coordinates activities throughout the school year for our students as well as our community. Our computer lab offers students the opportunity to acquire and use skills in technology. We have continued to strive to improve our use of technology as a tool for everyday learning by creating a building wide sequence for the acquisition of computer skills.
Silver Lake strives to meet the needs of all students.
Two special education Resource Rooms, an English as a Second Language program and a Basic Skills remedial reading program, assist students in meeting high academic standards set by our school, district, and state. In addition, a full time counselor supports the social and emotional needs for our students. Our goals all require staff to work to align our building curriculum with the new Washington State learning standards. Specifically, staff continues to learn and implement strategies that support students with strong reading and writing skills as well as skills that cause students to become problems solvers in math application. Impended in each goal, is a design to increase parent involvement in our school by encouraging parents to participate in school sponsored activities either in their homes or here at school.
