On Friday, Mrs. Barbee's kindergarten class explored with magic playdough. The playdough changed colors which means they are going to have a GREAT school year! Check out the excitement on their faces.

‼ REMINDER - EARLY RELEASE = PLC MEETINGS FOR TEACHERS 
📅 Begins August 25th
Dismissal 
🕑Elementary- 2:00p
🕝Secondary - 2:30p
 Early release for our kids means meeting time for our teachers. This time is excellent for lesson planning, district meetings, and sharing ideas with our teacher friends across the district.
Professional learning communities (PLCs) are a collaborative approach to professional development. Small groups of educators meet regularly to explore new concepts, share expertise and insights from their teaching experiences, and engage in collective problem-solving.
We are lucky we have this time and the technology to meet with teachers from all over the district to maximize our time together.
