Dear Families,

Welcome to all of our wonderful families and partners!  As the new principal of Silver Stream Public School, I feel honoured to be part of such a wonderful community and a school that has an excellent reputation.  I am looking forward to getting acquainted with all of the stakeholders involved with our school, especially the students and families. I hope that all parents/guardians have an opportunity to get involved in the exciting activities and opportunities that make Silver Stream a fantastic place to grow and learn.  With your support, we can continue ensuring that all students are successful.

Thank you to everyone who has extended such a warm welcome to me over the last few weeks. It is an honour and a pleasure to be the new Principal of Silver Stream. True partnerships are key to all of us here, as we work to support student achievement and well being.  With our dynamic and dedicated staff, we will continue to build upon cooperative partnerships between child, parents and teachers and the community.

I am also thrilled to be working alongside our new vice-principal, Jason Innes. He comes to Silver Stream as an experienced vice-principal with many skills and similar values. As the administrators of Silver Stream PS, our focus will be on creating a welcoming and inclusive school environment where students feel safe and motivated to learn and achieve to their true potential.

At Silver Stream Public School we are committed to preparing our students for being responsible participants in our community and the world.  We continue to explore the most effective strategies to guide our students in Literacy and Mathematics, while incorporating digital tools that support Modern Learning.  We aim to utilize these strategies in a supportive and caring environment to help our students maintain strong mental health and develop coping strategies as the demands of our world continue to increase.  Together with our home and school partnerships, we can support our students as they navigate through a world with endless possibilities.

A learning community requires the dedication of all stakeholders and it is our goal to work with you to make your child’s/children’s school experience a positive and happy one. We value your involvement and welcome you into our school.

Throughout the year, please remember that for real time information about the various happenings at our school, visit our school BLOG at http://silverstreamps.blogspot.ca/.  You may also follow us on Twitter, @SilverStreamPS.

We look forward to working and learning together with our families and community to provide an excellent education experience for all our students.

Thank you and see you soon.

Trish Yeates
