🌷 Spring Events – Keep an eye out for information about upcoming field trips, classroom celebrations, and more.

📚 Learning Continues – Even with the excitement of spring in the air, we’re staying focused on learning. Encourage your child to keep reading at home and finish the year strong!

🧠 Testing– 3rd-5th grade students will be participating in end-of-year assessments soon. We know they’ll do their best!

As Jaguars, we ROAR. We are Respectful, Organized, Accepting, and Responsible. Please review and remind your child that we want to ROAR every day in the cafeteria, hallways, playground, and in the classroom. We have lots of fun plans for this school year to reward positive behaviors.

Students can purchase items from our ROAR store on the PBIS Rewards app. The ROAR Store Hours will be Monday and Tuesday 8:00-8:40. The items will be delivered on Friday from 8:00-8:40. Students will also qualify to be entered into raffles based on how many points they earned. PK-2 will have monthly raffles and 3-5 will have quarterly raffles.

The PreK- 2nd Grade raffles will be:

April: Outdoor Summer Basket

May: Bike or Scooter

The 3rd-5th Grade will have a quarterly raffle.

Quarter 3: Family Game Night Basket

Quarter 4: Bike or Scooter

The Character trait for April/May is Sharpen the Saw: "I take care of myself by eating right, exercising, and getting sleep. I spend time with my family and friends. I like to learn in different ways and place.

Morning Arrival:

Doors open each day at 8:00 AM

Car riders may only be dropped off in the car rider line on the side of the building near the gym.

For safety, it is not allowed to drop your child off in the front parking lot.

If your child is eating school breakfast, please have them to school by 8:20 AM. This allows time to eat breakfast and the instructional day to begin at 8:40 AM.

🚸Crosswalk: There will be a staff member in the mornings at the crosswalk in front of the school connecting to the neighborhood. Be sure to follow the crosswalk rules, especially in a school zone.

**Check for the flashing lights and be sure you're not speeding so you may stop if a pedestrian needs to cross.

1. Georgia law requires drivers to stop and yield to people walking in crosswalks.

2. Drivers have to stop and stay stopped until the pedestrian has left their side of the road.

Afternoon Dismissal (3:20-4:00 PM):

🚗Car rider line: Anyone picking up a child in the car rider line must have a school issued car rider sign. If no sign is present, the adult will be asked to park, visit the office, and show ID before a child will be released for the day.
