Silver Oak Elementary School
Principal's Message
The staff, students, and parents of Silver Oak are committed to continuing in the tradition of academic excellence. The mission of Silver Oak Elementary School is to develop the intellectual, physical, and emotional capacities of each child to the fullest extent possible so that each can lead a fulfilling life as a productive worker, citizen, and individual in society. Students will be supported in thinking creatively and critically and be able to adapt to change. They will develop skills in acquiring, processing, and using information to make effective decisions and to communicate with others. They will develop self esteem by participating in a caring school community that appreciates diversity, tolerance, mutual respect, cooperation toward team goals, and a love for learning.
The most important alliances our school has fostered are with our parents and community. We encourage all families to become powerful links in the home/school partnership to ensure that each child develops the skills necessary to become productive workers, citizens, and life-long learners.
Our students continue to meet high expectations, as evidenced by our 2007-2008 Academic Performance Index (API) score of 945. Silver Oak will continue to explore new horizons to enhance student learning and achievement.
