We have rolled out a new school-wide intervention: Flood the Room. For 30 minutes a day, every student in the building is working on Reading at the same time based on a needed skill. What's unique about having this intervention at the same time is that all staff can help.
Classroom Spotlight: Mrs. Williams, Mrs. Orellana, & Ms. Cameron are leading one of our co-teaching blocks in 1st grade. This model of instruction is being implemented in some of our classrooms this year as we work to deliver high quality instruction to all of our students.
Thank you to Mr. Paul Poe who stopped by this afternoon to make a donation to our school of the image that once hung in the Brick City Grill restaurant. After selling the restaurant, Mr. Poe decided to pass on the picture of the school that he once loved so much as a student.

📣 We’re Excited to Launch Our First Daytime Family Workshop!
Each month, we will host a session designed to keep families actively involved in their child’s education and provide tools to support learning at home.

🍎 Parents are also encouraged to bring a lunch and enjoy it with their child!
Together, we can strengthen the school–home connection for every student. 💙
