Silver Strand Elementary School

 

Our school is typically composed of approximately 75% of students from active-duty military families. We understand and do our very best to support the many unique challenges that these families face such as deployment and frequent relocations. Our priority in this regard is to provide students an environment where they are emotionally available to learn.  We assist new students on their first day by giving the student a tour of campus. Students are individually assessed in reading and math immediately upon entry to our school and placed in small group instruction in appropriate Academic Support and Enrichment (ASE) groups, and sometimes additional scaffolding is made available in our Before/After School ASE program.  We have also developed partnerships with several outstanding organizations to provide further support to our military students and their families. Participation in these programs can come about by teacher recommendation or self/family request.
