ART Show!
Several of our AMAZING students are featured in the ACPS ART show! The Art show runs from March 3rd to March 21st. The Art show will be at the Northside Library.
π Multiplication March Madness
The bracket-style excitement of the court is hitting our classrooms this month! We are thrilled to announce Multiplication March Madness, a high-energy competition designed to sharpen multiplication fluency through "Multiplication War" showdowns during the final five minutes of lunch for grades three, four, and five.
Ms. Emery, our Talent Development Teacher, has lined the hallways with facts.
We encourage you to practice math facts at home!
Thoughtful Tigers!
It's always a joy to celebrate students who show CARES and help others!
Tips for Staying Healthy!
As the weather warms and everyone is excited to be outside again, we wanted to share some tips for staying healthy.
- Wash your hands for at least 30 seconds with soap and water.
- Cover your mouth when you sneeze or cough.
- Drink lots of water.
- Get a full nights rest.
- If your student is feeling ill, please remind them to see the school nurse.
