Please follow the AMI guidance provided by your school. All campuses will be closed. All extracurricular activities scheduled for tomorrow are canceled and will be rescheduled if and when possible. Further announcements will be made if the closure is extended.

We are so excited to share about our cowbell celebrations! Classes have been working hard to have 100% of their students master a specific learning target. We call this learning target our Cowbell Standard. We have already been able to celebrate several classes of students who had 100% mastery. Mrs. Stephens', Mrs. Hicks', Mrs. Norris' and Ms. Waggoner's classes were the first to be celebrated and they earned a cowbell sticker!
We are so proud of these students for being recognized for showing ARMOR this week!
We would like to recognize the students that earned 35 or more AR points by the end of the 2nd nine weeks. These students will receive an extra recess to honor their hard work.
