One last reminder that there is no school tomorrow, Tuesday, October 22, 2024, for JCPS students on the traditional calendar. 📅
Hello Wildcat Families! Monday, October 21 is the last day of the 1st Quarter. Tuesday, October 22 is a Teacher Workday so there will be no school for students. PTA is hosting spirit night at the truck stop on Tuesday from 5-8. Join us!
In STEM this week students were tasked with KEVA plank challenges. First and 2nd grades were building bridges while 3rd -5th grades were building planks. In these design challenges students learn how to break down problems into smaller parts and make plans for solving those. Keva planks also help students improve their spatial awareness through creativity and design. We discussed weight, counterweight, and balance and its impact in these builds.
This is the BEST SCHOOL with the BEST STAFF and the BEST KIDS!! Ms. Holland is very thankful to be a part of it!
JCPS showed exceptional growth for the 2023-2024 school year❗
