Our staff is very happy to be back in school!

Bus Safety & Rules

All grades went through rotations this week to learn school rules and expected behaviors in all areas of our school. Pictured is some of our Kindergarteners learning about bus safety and etiquette for on the bus.

A big SHOUT OUT to everyone involved making the PBIS rotations a success the last 2 school days. The staff did an excellent job explaining expected behaviors in the different areas of our school building. Above are a few pictures of the last 2 days.

Sixth-grade students are buzzing with excitement as they dive into the game "Night at the Museum." The game, inspired by the popular movie, transforms their classroom into a museum where exhibits (students) come to life after dark. This silent game fosters a unique sense of teamwork and sharpens their ability to interpret and express ideas without speaking, proving that sometimes, actions truly do speak louder than words.

2nd graders in Mrs. Kluge's class are shown above with the pictures including:

A toothpaste activity with the message of just like you can't put toothpaste back in the tube once it's out, your words also can't be taken back after they are said
team building spaghetti and marshmallow building challenge
challenge of building something that tells me about yourself with 2 pipe cleaners, tin foil, paper, and a popsicle stick

Emily Thor was our first Caught Ya student this school year!!
