We have completed our second week of school! The energy and excitement filling our hallways over the past several days hse been absolutely incredible. As your new principal, it has been an absolute joy getting to know our wonderful students, dedicated staff, and supportive families. I am incredibly grateful for the warm welcome I have received.
Our building is bursting with life, and I love seeing our students reconnect with friends they haven’t seen since May, while enthusiastically welcoming new faces into our community.
Our teachers and staff have been working tirelessly to create a safe, structured, and joyful learning environment. Together, we have already accomplished so much during these first couple of weeks:

Building Community: Students and staff participated in fun icebreaker activities to help build strong classroom bonds and connections.
Establishing Routines: We practiced our very first fire drill and have been learning and practicing our school-wide behavioral expectations to ensure a safe environment for all.
Assessing Growth: We began our fall benchmark testing, which helps our teachers understand exactly where each student is academically so we can best support their individual growth this year.

Thank you for your ongoing partnership, communication, and support as we kick off this new school year. My door is always open, and I look forward to working alongside you to make this an unforgettable year for our students.

Good afternoon, parents and guardians,Please review these important reminders for student drop-off in the morning:

NEW ARRIVAL AND DISMISSAL ROUTE

To ensure a smooth and safe drop-off and pick-up process at our school, guardians are to enter the drop off/pick up line from Franklin Laurel Rd. Students should remain in their vehicles until a staff member signals that it's time for them to exit. This procedure helps us maintain an orderly flow of traffic and ensures the safety of all students.

No need to feel glum on this wet and dreary day! Check out these FANTASTIC first graders in Mr. Stock’s ROAR group learning about the life cycle of plants during their reading enrichment group! 🧠 💪 🦁

Students have spent the last two weeks learning about the life cycle of plants as well as how to start a garden and harvest seeds while building reading fluency and comprehension skills. 🌱 🌼 🤔

Students then took their learning and applied it via real world applications by harvesting marigold seeds from one of our many STEMscapes garden beds. 🧑‍🌾 📝 ☀️

Way to go first graders!
