Awards

Every trimester, our students with perfect attendance are honored with an assembly and a certificate.  Parents are invited to attend this event.  Each grade level span (K-2, 3-5, 6-8) participates in a raffle where students can win some great prizes.  

Every trimester, our teachers honor their top students in core content areas such as math, English Language Arts, science, and social science.  They receive a certificate at an assembly.  Our parents are invited to attend.  

Every trimester, we honor our students for great citizenship.  Students who demonstrate respect, organization, ambition, and responsibility are honored with a certificate at an assembly where their parents are invited to attend.      

Students demonstrating excellence in core content areas throughout the year are honored with a medal at our last trimester assembly.  

Every year our teachers pick one student who has demonstrated consistent excellence in academics and citizenship.  This student is awarded a statuette of a Bengal and a certificate at an assembly where parents are invited to attend.  

Block B recognizes and honors students who are making a positive impact at Silas Bartsch School.  Students earn points at the end of each trimester with exceptional grades, proficiency on major assessments, involvement in after-school activities such as sports and community service, etc.  Students who attain enough points towards Block B twice during the school year are rewarded with a special trip.  Additionally, students who make Block B a total of three times in their 6th and 7th grade years and every trimester in their 8th grade year will receive the honor of being a Silas Scholar.    

Silas Scholars are 8th grade students who have been honored with Block B every trimester in their 8th grade year and at least three times in their previous middle school years.  These students are invited to attend a formal dinner with their parents.  They are awarded a plaque at this dinner.  They also wear a special medal during the promotion ceremony.
