Attendance is more than just being present—it’s the foundation for student success. Every school day gives students the opportunity to learn, build relationships, develop confidence, and prepare for their future. Missing just two days each month can quickly add up and impact academic achievement.
Together, let's encourage our students to show up, be engaged, and make every minute count. Every day. Every class. Every opportunity.

🌎☀️ Learning About Earth’s Tilt & the Seasons! ☀️🌎

Our 6th grade Social Studies students in Ms. Bryan’s class explored the science behind Earth’s seasons through a teacher-led demonstration!

Using a globe and a light source, Ms. Bryan demonstrated how Earth’s tilt affects the way sunlight is distributed across the Earth throughout the year. 🌍🔦

Students analyzed the demonstration to describe how the distribution of sunlight changes throughout the year and how those changes affect the seasons. 🍂❄️🌸☀️

A great visual demonstration to help our Blue Devils connect classroom concepts to the world around them! 💙😈

Turn up the music and build language through song.

For Sing Together Wednesday, share a favorite song, nursery rhyme or silly tune with a child. Singing helps children hear and play with sounds, words and rhythm—and makes literacy part of an everyday moment.

No perfect voice required. Just sing, smile and enjoy the moment together.

📚✨ Comparing Text & Interviews in 7th Grade ELA! ✨📚

Our 7th grade ELA students in Mr. Mitcham’s class put their critical thinking skills to work! 🧠📖

Students created a T-chart graphic organizer to answer the question: “How does the text differ from the interview?”

They compared an interview about Mom & Me & Mom by Maya Angelou with the text of the book, looking closely at how the two versions presented information. Students discovered that the text provided more descriptive details, giving readers a deeper look into the story and its characters.

What a great way to practice comparing sources, identifying details, and supporting ideas with evidence from the text!👏📚
