Hello England Families-
What a fantastic start to the new year! As we dive into the second semester, it’s wonderful to see all our Leopards back in action, embracing new challenges and opportunities to grow. A special welcome to the new students and families who joined our community last week. It’s a joy to have you as part of our Leopard family.
This past week our third, fourth, and fifth graders showcased their spelling skills in the annual Spelling Bee. Their hard work and determination shone brightly! A heartfelt thanks to our PTA for organizing and sponsoring this memorable event.
Looking ahead, we’re thrilled about the upcoming Science Fair in grades 3-5. This is an exciting opportunity to celebrate curiosity and creativity. Together, let’s continue to make this semester one filled with growth, connection, and success.
With gratitude,
Krystall Williams, Principal

Smart Watches/Cell Phones Reminder:
To minimize distractions and ensure a focused learning environment, students will now be asked to keep smartwatches and phones stored in their backpacks during the school day.
This adjustment aligns with the protocols already in place at many elementary and middle schools and is intended to help students stay engaged in their learning and maintain a positive classroom experience.
If you have any questions or concerns about this update, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me directly. Thank you for your support as we continue to prioritize the success and well-being of our students.
Volunteer Opportunities:
We truly appreciate the collaboration and partnership as we offer these opportunities for our Leopards. Your support makes all the difference!
We’re currently highlighting our Kindergarten Recess Volunteer sign-up! Do you love encouraging play and interacting with inquisitive, adorable kindergarteners? If so, we’d love your help! To provide our kindergarten teachers with additional planning time throughout the week, we’re inviting parents and caregivers to partner with us as recess monitors/volunteers. As a recess monitor, you will work alongside classroom teachers to supervise and engage with students during recess. Your presence ensures a fun and safe environment for our kindergarteners to play and grow.
