Join PTO at Silver Spruce Elementary!

As Fox Creek and Acres Green come together, all PTO board positions are open, creating a unique opportunity for parents to step in, shape our new traditions, and make a lasting impact on our students and staff. We are looking for individuals who are willing to serve in any capacity and help us create something truly special.

Please take a moment to review this form and share your interest. Forms are due by 5:00 PM on April 28.

We realize that many of you simply want to support the school and are open to serving in any role. If that is the case, please feel free to select all positions you are interested in, and we will follow up with you about where the greatest need is once we have heard from everyone. We also understand that some roles may not be the right fit for you, and that is completely okay—please only select the positions that interest you.

If you would like to be involved at Silver Spruce but are not able to commit to a full board position, we would love to have you consider serving as a committee chair. And if you are not quite sure how you would like to be involved, simply let us know in the comment section—we are happy to connect and help find the right fit for you.

Please reach out to Cheryl Fullmer at cfullmer@dcsdk12.org or Kirsten Sola at kasola@dcsdk12.org with any questions.

Thank you!

REPEAT: Boundary Change

A couple weeks ago, the DCSD Board of Education made a decision about boundary changes that will affect some of our families. Starting in the 26-27 school year, most of our students will be assigned to Silver Spruce Elementary (in the current Fox Creek Elementary building), and some of our students will be reassigned to Eagle Ridge Elementary. You can see the slides from the board meeting here: https://dcsdk12.community.highbond.com/document/d08495e4-6204-4d40-bc33-e583d9dcc9bf/


IF you are one of the families that will be reassigned to Eagle Ridge Elementary, please check your email for important information about this change. Your family will have the option to go to Silver Spruce Elementary if you so choose, with limited bussing options that you will need to sign up for. You will also have the option of going to Eagle Ridge Elementary with full bus service. Please refer to your email for details. You will also be receiving a personal phone call to explain your options.

REPEAT: Important: May 2026 Date Change

Important End-of-Year Date Change:

As our school prepares to merge with Fox Creek Elementary and transition to become Silver Spruce Elementary, we will need an additional day at the end of the year to move classrooms and materials. To accommodate this, the last day of school for students will be THURSDAY, MAY 28th. Please note that May 29th will not be a student attendance day. Thank you for your flexibility and support during this transition for our school community.
