The Bluejay

Welcome Back, Families!

Happy New Year! I hope your holidays were filled with laughter, love, and maybe a little too much dessert (it’s okay, we won’t tell). As we jump back into the swing of things, I just want to take a moment to say how proud I am of everything we accomplished together in the first semester.

From watching students tackle new challenges to celebrating big and small victories, it’s been such a joy to see the growth happening all around us. Our classrooms have been buzzing with curiosity, creativity, and more than a few moments of fun.

Now, as we gear up for the second half of the school year, I can’t wait to see what’s next. Whether it’s diving into new lessons, making memories with friends, or taking on new goals, I know our students are ready to shine even brighter.

Thank you for being such an important part of our school community. Your support means the world to us—and we couldn’t do this without you. Here’s to an amazing second semester filled with learning, friendship and laughter.

Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have questions or concerns. I'm always happy to assist you and your child to ensure a positive educational experience.

In the event of school closure due to bad weather we may call for an AMI day. In such event, please follow your student's AMI packet's instructions. Detailed information is in the graphic below. Please reach out to your student's teacher if you have any questions.

This month's G.O.A.T award goes to Ms. Nigh's Second Grade class. They finished the month strong with 93.43 attendance! They will celebrate with a donut or pizza party compliments of Mrs. Teague.

This month each class is working towards a Pinata party! Each day they achieve 95% attendance as a class they earn a trophy for their scoreboard. Once they earn 10 trophies they will earn a Pinata Party. If you are able to donate a pinata and some fillers to your child's class please use this sign up link. We greatly appreciate you help.

We know and celebrate what our students accomplish at school, but we would really love to know and celebrate what they do outside of school too! If your child would like to share a picture of themselves doing their favorite activity, a favorite family or pet photo, or any other photo they are proud of, please send it to school and I will hang it up on our schoolwide Brag Board. Please make sure it is no larger than a 4x6 so we can celebrate as many students as possible. They can drop them off in the office or turn it into their teacher anytime throughout the year.

Students will participate in Valentine's exchanges within their classrooms on Friday, February 14th. We ask that Valentine's Day boxes be manageable by students. A good rule of thumb is if it doesn't fit on their lap or they can't independently carry it themselves, it's not appropriate for school.

As a reminder, outside deliveries of flowers, balloons and other gifts will not be accepted at any school buildings, and will be returned to the vendor.
