Leadership HT Students Visit TCS Central Office
Cahaba Elementary is forecasting success for all students this year! Teachers gathered for C meetings led by our academic coaches, Maggie Burns and Christi Watts, and together they celebrated the success of our students on the Spring ACAP. During each grade level meeting, teachers enjoyed lattes and discussed next steps for how to “Reach New Heights” in student learning this year! We are so proud of our students and teachers! It’s always fun and encouraging to look at our students data!
Magnolia Elementary Cheers On Kindergarten Bootcamp Graduates
HTMS Students Create Special Bond
We love seeing teamwork across grade levels at Hewitt-Trussville Middle School! Coach Michalke’s class has partnered with Ms. Box’s class as buddies this year. From playing Uno together, to lending a hand during experiments, and sharing in other fun activities, these students are building connections and learning from one another.
Paine Art Classes are "Brushing Up" for a Great Cause
Paine Elementary art classes are bursting with creativity! This week they’ve had some magical moments exploring new supplies and techniques. Take a sneak peek at what’s in store for this year’s fundraiser!
Magnolia Fourth Graders use Robotics to Study Sentence Structure
Fourth grade students participated in an engaging robotics lesson that helped them understand the power of complex sentences. Using Indi car tiles, students began with simple instructions and gradually progressed to more advanced programming. As they observed how additional commands led to more powerful car behavior, they made the connection that, similarly, more complex sentences can communicate ideas more effectively.
Cahaba students and staff celebrated college colors day on Friday, August 29th. Students enjoyed dressing up and sharing school spirit with their friends and teachers. Thank you April Smith for capturing these fun photos for our school.
