Dear Silverdale Families, December has arrived with the blink of
an eye. In the school setting, what this
means is that by now, schedules, routines
and procedures are well under way at school and in
the classrooms. As I walk into classrooms each day,
it is evident that critical thinking, learning, and ac-
tive student engagement is abound. Teachers can be
seen orchestrating countless ideas as designed in
their lesson plans and adjusting what they teach to
the needs of their students. The learning process is
exciting to watch and it is also nice to see that high
standards are a part of our school’s culture.
With regard to school-wide processes, we are cer-
tainly enjoying reveling in the individual successes of
students as they work on specific pillars of charac-
ter. For the next few weeks, students will be working
hard on “Caring”. As a staff, we are focusing on
encouraging students to take care of themselves,
their classmates and their school.
As a part of our Character Counts program, we
work hard as a school to teach the importance of
being a person of character as well as a person that
works hard – especially in the area of academics.
In the next couple of weeks we will be honoring our
students at our first trimester Awards Assembly
of the year. At this assembly, each teacher will
choose 6 students (2 students for academic
achievement, 2 students for perseverance and 2
students for being a person of character) to honor
and recognize for their contributions to our school.
Don’t worry if your child is not chosen this time.
There are two other opportunities for students to
earn recognition.
For the past three years, we are focused on teach-
ing the importance of good character and being good
citizens. Good citizens are trustworthy, respectful,
responsible, fair and caring – not only at school but
at home. Please help us promote good citizenship by
finding opportunities to talk about what this means
to you and your family. Partnering with you always
makes the lessons richer.
Lastly, over the holidays, consider challenging your
kids to read a good book or two – reading is a gift to
the soul! Enjoy your time over break and may you
form beautiful memories as you enjoy your special
time with your children!
Sincerely,
Ninette Rivero

*School and district websites
*e-News
*District Facebook and Twitter accounts
*Television and radio. Listen for Central Kitsap School District #401,
and listen for which areas are affected.
Emergency Bus Stops In bad weather, we limit bus service routes when road conditions are unsafe.
We appreciate your cooperation and understanding. If your child rides a special needs bus, you
must make other arrangements with the Transportation Department, please call 360-662-8800.
Please note:
*Students who are picked up at a limited bus service stop in the morning are
dropped off at the same stop in the afternoon.
*Students need to arrive at the limited bus service stop by the normal time for their regular
stop. However, when schools open two hours late, bus stops are also two hours late.
* Please talk with your child about how to stay safe while walking and waiting.
We will announce limited bus service by area. If you live on one of the roads that are closed,
use the designated emergency stop. If your road is NOT listed, your child can catch the
bus at their regular stop.
