Each month, Ms. Deb’s PIP class explores a new unit from the Pre-K Launch Curriculum by TEACHTOWN. This month, the students are learning about Community Helpers—the jobs they do, the tools they use, and how they serve the community. To make learning meaningful, the class engages in hands-on, play-based activities that bring the lessons to life. Interactive experiences, such as dressing up and role-playing, make learning both fun and relevant for young learners. On Wednesday, February 13, Ms. Deb’s students brought their lessons to life by dressing as community helpers featured in The Food Drive, the book they are currently reading. They also took an "in-school field trip," visiting various staff members to share what they’ve learned about different community roles. Ms. Deb, her assistants, and the students love these engaging activities that make learning an exciting adventure! ​Article by Principal Ruth Mims Photos provided by Mrs. Tracy DeLee

Due to the number of e-Learning days used this school year because of inclement weather, Monday, April 21st will now be a regular school day for students instead of a scheduled Teacher Workday. This additional in-person learning day is essential to ensuring our students are fully prepared for success. We understand this change may be an inconvenience, but we appreciate your flexibility and support as we prioritize student achievement. If you have any questions, please contact your child’s school. Thank you for your understanding!
