Officer Garrison, our SRO, read to the kindergarten class, “I’m Not Scared,I’m Prepared”, as a way to educate them for our intruder drills.




This week the kindergarten students have been learning about fire safety. A couple local firefighters brought their firetruck and did a presentation, teaching the kids about stop, drop, and roll, what to do if they see a fire and what it is like to be a firefighter. The kids were so excited and loved to hear the sirens as they drove away.




A reminder that Picture Retake day is October 17. Due to Jostens' green screen technology, students should refrain from wearing green clothing.

🌟 It’s Late Start Wednesday! Our amazing teachers and staff are diving into professional development this morning. Today, two of our 3rd grade teachers shared how they've successfully integrated Amira into their daily reading routines. 📚 We also explored the impact of technology on the developing brain, inspired by "The Anxious Generation."
And it’s #WintersetWednesday! Our staff rocked their jeans and red items today. Can you guess why we're wearing red? 🔥
