🎈This week in Mrs. Poteet and Mrs. Willhoit's class we used a rounding balloon to help us decide when to round to the nearest 10 or 100🙌🏻
Let's go shopping at "Bailey's Target Store"! Mrs. Bailey's 4th graders used project based learning and real world experiences this week as we learned how to add and subtract decimals!
🌟 Celebrating Mrs. Shaw — Our Incredible Campus Coordinator! 🌟
Today we celebrate Mrs. Shaw, who is truly one of the biggest blessings on our campus. She is the steady hand, the caring heart, and the behind-the-scenes hero who keeps so many important pieces moving for our students and staff.
Her dedication, patience, and calm presence make such a difference every single day. Mrs. Shaw supports our teachers, cares deeply for our kids, and brings a level of organization and heart that our campus leans on more than she’ll ever admit.
Mrs. Shaw — thank you for everything you do, seen and unseen. We appreciate you, we adore you, and we are so grateful you’re part of our school family. 💚

PreK–1st Grade Parents, we need your help! ❤️☀️
Lately our students have been arriving later and later in the mornings. When we see that long line of cars at 7:45, it’s not because traffic is backed up… it’s because everyone is just now arriving at the tardy bell.
⏰ Our tardy bell rings at 7:45.
🎤 Announcements begin at 7:45.
📚 Instruction starts immediately after.
If students enter the building at or after 7:45, it slows down the start of the instructional day and they miss settling in and getting ready for learning.
We totally understand how wild mornings can be (especially with the littles — socks disappear, shoes won’t tie themselves, breakfast requests change mid-bite… we get it! 😅).
But we’re asking for your help getting everyone here a few minutes earlier so our students can start the day smoothly and on time.
Thank you for partnering with us! We appreciate you more than you know. ❤️🏫✨

We can't wait to see our students in the morning!

What's that? What's that you say? You say today is 6-7 day? Mrs. Nordin's class says it 12846272 times a day! Hooray!
November reminds us to be grateful for the little things. 🍂🧡 This month we focused on all that we are thankful for. We enjoyed adding texture to our Cups of Gratitude, creating our feathered Hand Turkeys and drawing our beautiful oil pastel Acorns! 🦃
The day has finally arrived… and no, not the start of Thanksgiving break tomorrow afternoon (although we’re pretty excited about that too 😄).
It’s School-Wide 6 7 Day! 🎉🦊
The one magical day of the year when our students can go ALL OUT with their 6 7 energy—and not get in trouble for the hype! Today is all about fun, laughter, and a whole lot of school spirit.
We’ve even hidden 67 tiny foxes all around the building for students to find. Yes… 67. No… we will probably still find stray foxes in June. 😅
So make sure your kiddo comes in their BEST 6 7 outfit and remind them to keep their eyes peeled—those foxes mean prizes at the end of the day!
Let the hunt (and the fun) begin! 🦊✨

Well… that’s Texas weather for you! We prepare for a downpour, brace ourselves, line up the umbrellas… and then it doesn’t rain. Not. One. Drop. But hey—we’re just thankful it didn’t decide to open up on us during dismissal!
With that said, we have to make the call early enough so parents can plan. Once we switch to rainy-day dismissal, we can’t undo it just because the weather decides to behave at the last minute. Believe me, we tried that last year—and it didn't go well. Never again.
We still managed to dismiss everyone in a reasonable amount of time, and we appreciate your patience—and a big thank you to the parents who followed the procedures. Getting 470 students out safely and efficiently is a major operation, and your cooperation makes all the difference.
Thanks for rolling with the “surprise… no rain!” Texas weather with us!
