Our Kinder and 2nd grade Gators geared up and rolled into Safe Routes to School Bike Safety Week! They learned all about helmet safety, signaling, and how to ride smart and stay safe on every adventure! 🚲✨





Our amazing 5th graders left their mark in the most beautiful way—by adding colorful flowers to our tree mural! 🌺✨ Each blossom represents creativity, growth, and the lasting impact they’ve made on our school community.


EOG testing for 3th-5th grade students starts Friday morning. Our students have worked hard all year, and EOG tests are a way to show how much they have learned and grown over the course of the school year. They do NOT determine if they go to the next grade, nor do they tell us how smart someone is or is not. Our goal is to get our students to take EOGs seriously and to do their personal best without a whole lot of stress or pressure.
