Catalayah Elementary

Ms. Loyd’s 5th grade science class has already started with the hands-on experiments, and we are HERE for it! 🙌 Students put the Scientific Method into action by forming a hypothesis about how many drops of water they thought could fit on the surface of a penny. Then it was time to test their predictions, observe what happened, and record the results! Who knew a penny, a little water, and a dropper could turn into such a fun science lesson?! 🔬🪙💦 We have a feeling there are going to be LOTS of great experiments happening in Ms. Loyd’s class this year! ❤️🦓 #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Our fundraiser starts on Friday!!! Be on the lookout! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

In honor of the Labor Day holiday, CPS will be closed on Monday, September 7th, 2026.

"Before the reward, there must be labor. You plant before you harvest. You sow in tears before you reap joy." Ralph Ransom

Labor Day pays tribute to the contributions and achievements of American workers. The labor movement created it in the late 19th century, and it became a federal holiday in 1894.

Officer Moree stopped by Catalayah! 🦓❤️ He joined our kiddos in the lunchroom and even headed outside to play with them at recess! We love that Officer Moree takes the time to simply hang out, have fun, and get to know our students. Those little moments mean so much and help our kids build such a positive relationship with him! We are so happy to have you as part of our Catalayah family, Officer Moree. Here’s to a GREAT year! ❤️🖤🤍 #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

I stopped by PE today to see what they were up to, and it was just the CUTEST! ❤️🦓 Before they got started with PE class, Mr. Hughes was reading The PE Teacher from the Black Lagoon! 📚😂 I love seeing our teachers find fun ways to make every part of the school day special! 👟 PE REMINDER: Please make sure your child wears tennis shoes on their PE day so they’re ready to run, play, and have fun! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
