Dear Silver Strand Military Families,

Welcome, Voyager students and families, to the Silver Strand Elementary School 2024-25 school year! We are proud and grateful to support this unique, small, and special school in Coronado Unified School District and to serve Silver Strand’s dedicated and inspiring staff, kind and curious students, and generous and involved families and community members. Silver Strand Elementary is a proud Purple Star School and we extend a warm welcome to our military families, recognizing the unique gifts and challenges associated with families who serve. Silver Strand Elementary and Coronado Unified School District are proud to offer robust resources for students and families to assist with transitioning into our school and community and feeling supported and valued while you are here.
