Our opening PBIS Assembly was a huge success! Students reviewed school expectations and learned how they can earn PBIS points by demonstrating positive behavior each day. The highlight of the assembly came when our top PBIS point winners took on their teachers in an exciting tug-of-war challenge. Both teams gave it their all while the rest of the school cheered them on. The event was a great reminder that hard work, responsibility, and positive choices are worth celebrating!

Kindergarten students in Mrs. Groff's class enjoyed reading the book "Last Stop on Market Street" by Matt de la Peña and making connections to the world around them through their five senses. As they followed CJ’s journey through the city, students identified things the characters could see, hear, smell, taste, and touch. They drew a picture of CJ using one of his five senses and then shared with the class. This engaging activity helped build reading comprehension while encouraging students to make meaningful connections between literature and their everyday lives.

Second grade students in Ms. Spezial's class enjoyed reading the story Jack, Jill, and Joey, a fun tale featuring an energetic kangaroo named Joey. After listening to the story, students brought the book to life by practicing their own kangaroo jumps and measured how far they can jump! It was an engaging way to connect literacy and movement while having lots of fun learning together. 📚🦘

Kindergarten Families: We Heard Your Questions!

We know many kindergarten families have been asking, "What is a Modified Kindergarten Schedule?" We hope this helps explain what to expect as your child begins their kindergarten journey!

To help our newest learners have a smooth start, kindergarten students will begin the school year on a modified schedule. During the first three days of school(August 25, August 26, August 27), kindergarten students will not attend a full school day. Instead, each child will come to school for a scheduled one-on-one visit with their teacher.

During this visit:
🍎 Your child will meet their teacher in a calm, welcoming environment.
📚 Teachers will complete beginning-of-the-year activities and assessments.
👨‍👩‍👧 A parent or guardian will stay with their child for the entire visit.

This modified schedule gives our youngest learners the opportunity to become comfortable in their new classroom while allowing teachers to get to know each child before the full class begins.

📞 Beginning the week of July 27, Ms. Houser will contact families to schedule their child's one-hour visit.

🎒 All kindergarten students will begin attending school for a full day on Friday, August 28.

If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Houser at 717-684-9780.

We can't wait to welcome our newest Crimson Tide students! ❤️💛
