Welcome to Sylvester Elementary!
Together, inspiring students to live the Shamrock way!
Welcome to Sylvester Elementary School!
We’re excited to welcome you and your family to our vibrant school community. At Sylvester, every child matters, and we are committed to creating a supportive, engaging, and enriching learning experience where students can grow academically, socially, and emotionally.
This year, we are focusing on three key priorities to help every student thrive:
1. Decreasing Chronic Student Absenteeism
Consistent attendance is essential for student success. We’re building a school culture that values being present, on time, and ready to learn every day—partnering with families to provide the encouragement and resources students need.
2. Ensuring Student Achievement
Our dedicated educators use high-quality, data-driven instruction to meet the needs of all learners. By identifying each child’s strengths and areas for growth, we provide the right support to help every student reach their highest potential.
3. Promoting Student Engagement
We believe learning should be active, exciting, and meaningful. From hands-on projects to collaborative learning opportunities, we inspire curiosity and foster a love of learning that lasts a lifetime.
We can’t wait to partner with you in making this school year the best yet. At Sylvester Elementary, every student is valued, supported, and encouraged to shine.
Welcome to the Shamrock family—we’re glad you’re here!
Warm regards,
Micah Lambert, Principal
