April 8th: Students will not report to school. Instead, they will have an eLearning day where teachers will upload their assignments into Google Classroom and SeeSaw.

April 9th: Students will not report to school. Instead, they will have Real Time Learning where teachers will ZOOM with the students. See the Read Time Learning schedule below:

If it is known IN ADVANCE that school will be closed for a day or multiple days, families will be notified in advance and students will learn from home. Real Time Learning involves lessons being presented live to students via Zoom. After the lesson, teachers will be available to help students through their work while also answering questions. There will be two sessions: a morning Zoom for reading and an afternoon Zoom for math and other subjects.

These days will count as a full day of learning with the state and do not need to be made up. The following schedule will be used during REAL Time Learning:

IREAD-3 (2nd & 3rd Grade Only):

March 4th - 15th

ILEARN: (3rd & 4th Grade)

Our Spanish Immersion program at Poston Road Elementary allows students the opportunity to learn Spanish through their daily subject areas all while mastering the same academic standards required by the state as the non-Spanish Immersion students. At the elementary level, the program begins in kindergarten and goes through fourth grade.

We are now enrolling kindergarten students for the upcoming 2024-2025 school year. Kindergarten students must be 5 years old on or before October 1, 2023.

Our school will be celebrating National School Breakfast Week (NSBW) from March 4-8, 2024.

Busy weekday mornings make it a challenge for many families to find time for a healthy breakfast. Fortunately, MSD of Martinsville schools offer nutritious school breakfasts, to ensure students are fueled for learning every school day. Additionally, all student breakfasts are provided at No Cost to all students making it a win-win for families.

During NSBW students will enjoy new breakfast offerings, special giveaways, and a special treat on Friday. Be sure to ask your child about this special event taking place the week of March 4th.
