Silverwood Elementary PTA

Mark your calendars! Our first PTA meeting of the school year will be held on Thursday, August 13th at 7:00 PM in the school library.

We’d love to see you there!

PTA meetings are a great opportunity to:

- Stay informed – Hear important updates about school events, programs, and upcoming opportunities.

- Have your voice heard – Share your ideas, ask questions, and help shape the activities that benefit our school community.

- Build connections – Meet other parents, teachers, and staff who share the same goal: creating the best possible environment for our kids.

When parents are actively involved on campus, amazing things happen. Your participation supports programs, enriches learning experiences, and helps create a welcoming school community. Research shows that when parents engage in school life, students are more motivated, perform better academically, and feel a stronger sense of belonging.

By attending PTA meetings, you’re not just showing up for an hour—you’re showing your child that their education matters and that you are part of the team cheering them on every step of the way.

Whether you’ve been to every meeting or this is your first time, we welcome you to join us. Come learn, connect, and help make a positive difference for our students.

The 2026-2027 school year is now in full swing! Here are some useful information to keep in mind.
