Check out our awesome 5th graders. They're enjoying the sunny weather during their recess time and some interactive math activities on the Clear Touch panels in their new Learning Cottage.




First full day for our lovely Kindergarten kids. They're busy learning how to 'Turn & Talk' with our new ELA curriculum, Wit and Wisdom. 💙💚


Bus Evacuation Drill ✅




Our students and staff are top notch! A super day of remote learning is in the books. Students learned about weather by measuring the rain fall while Ms. Sidbury helped plan support for Wit & Wisdom lessons. Other kiddos worked diligently at home on assignments for class as well as art. Ms. Polster had a banana spider hang out with her during the storm and decided to research them. She learned that they stay in their webs all day even during hurricanes & tropical storms. Their webs are super strong.









Kindergarten is in full swing today with their remote learning. They're on a scavenger hunt looking for all sorts of fun things. Check out some of these finds. Something that is yellow and has a battery, something that is a square and something you made. Keep up the great work!




Our school resource officer doesn't just keep our students safe, he also helps out in our community. We are lucky to have you Officer Wyke!


A glimpse into the first week of school. Reading together, team work activities and meeting Nurse Anita. 💙💚

It's only noon and these kiddos are having a great start to their first day of school. First grade chased the first day jitters away with some Jitter Juice 💚. Mrs. McDonald's class enjoyed lunch as new kindergarteners in the big cafeteria 🥪 and Ms. Polster rocked out with 5th graders while bucket drumming to We Will Rock You. 🥁
