🌟 UIL Ready! 🌟
We are officially geared up for our UIL competition this Friday! Our coaches and students have poured so much time, dedication, and heart into preparing, and we couldn’t be more proud.

We can’t wait to see their hard work shine and watch them bring home the hardware! Let’s cheer them on! 🎉📚✨

Help us celebrate our 2nd grade competitors!

🎈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. ❤️🏫✨
