🛠️✨ Mrs. Joy’s 2nd grade class has been hard at work sharpening their engineering skills this past week!

Through a fun and hands-on building activity, students collaborated to design and construct bridges — testing their creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving abilities. 🌉💡

It’s amazing to see young minds working together, learning through play, and building confidence one bridge at a time. Great job, engineers of the future! 👏🧠🚀

📚✨ Learning is in full swing in Mrs. Nall's classroom!

Our Kindergarten friends are building strong number sense by using counting blocks to practice 1-to-1 correspondence—one block for every number as they learn to count with meaning! 🧱🔢

Meanwhile, our 2nd graders are sharpening their math minds by comparing numbers using greater than and less than symbols — and tackling some random addition facts to boost fluency! ➕🐊

It's all happening in our K-2 Access class where every student is growing at their own pace and celebrating every step! 💪

🎉🥚 Egg-cellent Science in Action! 🥚🎉

Mrs. Samms' 4th grade class put their engineering skills to the test with an exciting Egg Drop Investigation! 🏗️💡

Students designed creative contraptions to protect their fragile eggs from a high fall — and the results were smashing (in the best way possible)! 💥

Way to go, future scientists and engineers! 🚀👏

📚 Today in Mrs. Terry's class, students had a blast learning about Author's Purpose with a fun game of Four Corners!

Working in teams, they put their persuasive writing skills to the test by trying to convince Mrs. Terry why the class should get a pet. 🐾✍️

We love seeing learning come to life through creativity, teamwork, and a little friendly competition!

We now have a custom-made clothes hanger to help keep lost items neat, visible, and easy to reclaim! 🙌

We’d love to keep it empty — and YOU can help make that happen.
👉 Please label EVERYTHING your student brings to school — jackets, water bottles, lunch boxes, even hats!

If it comes to school, put their name on it!
Let’s work together to keep our Lost & Found looking empty and awesome for as long as possible!

🚗 Important Drop-Off & Pick-Up Reminder 🚗

As we kick off an exciting new school year, we kindly ask all parents and guardians to use the designated drop-off and pick-up locations for student arrival and dismissal.

Please do not drop off students at the front office on a daily basis.
For everyone’s safety and to ensure a smooth, timely start to the day, all car riders must use the car rider drop-off line.

This is a safety issue, and our top priority is keeping every student safe while getting them to class on time.

Thank you so much for your cooperation and support — we’re looking forward to a fantastic year ahead! 💙📚
