Principal's Message

Dear Students, Families, and Community Members, 

 

It is with great excitement and deep gratitude that I joined Silver Lake Elementary as your new principal. I have been an educator for FWPS since 2010. I am truly honored to become part of a community that is known for its strong relationships, high expectations, and a shared commitment to the success of every student.  

 

This year, our guiding theme is: 
“First we believed, then we rose, now we soar.”  

 

Together, we will rise to challenges, lift each other up, and create a school environment where every student is empowered to soar—academically, socially, and emotionally. I believe that when we set high expectations, work together as a team, and support every learner, incredible things will happen. 

 

As principal, I am committed to fostering a safe, inclusive, and inspiring environment where every student feels seen, supported, and empowered to thrive. I look forward to building strong partnerships with families, supporting our dedicated staff, and helping every student find their wings. 

 

Together, we will rise—and soar to reach new heights in learning, leadership, and community. 

 

With pride and enthusiasm, 
Principal Courtney Thomas
