Message from Mrs. Morgan:
I hope everyone has a safe Spring Break!
As we approach the end of the school year, it's essential for students to stay focused on their studies and finish strong. Our teachers and staff are here to assist every step of the way!
The safety of our students and staff remain our top priority. We continue to implement and reinforce safety protocols to ensure a secure learning environment.
We have an exciting lineup of events planned for the coming weeks. Please stay informed though our website, newsletter, and social media.

**On April 8, 2024, our area will experience a total solar eclipse. A total solar eclipse will cross the United States, passing over Texas, and traveling through Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. A total solar eclipse happens when the moon passes between the sun and earth, completely blocking the face of the sun. The sky will darken as if it were dawn or dusk. In Georgia, weather permitting, a partial solar eclipse is expected to take place approximately between 1:45 and 4:20 p.m., with the maximum viewing time around 3:05 p.m.
- The eclipse is during dismissal.
No organized viewing activities outside of the classroom are planned
district wide or at the school level.- Staff will be reminding students about eclipse safety during dismissal and during any extra-curricular activities.
- Since the eclipse occurs at the end of the day, early checkouts for the eclipse will be excused.

Upcoming 5th Grade Events
As Jaguars, we ROAR. We are Respectful, Organized, Accepting, and Responsible. At the beginning of the year, your students will be taught what this looks like in each area of the building. We have lots of fun plans for this school year to reward positive behaviors.
Pre-K- 2nd grade students: will participate in monthly rewards for positive behaviors (having at least 45 points and no major referrals)
The monthly rewards for k-2 will be the following.
- April- Spring Craft (April 26th)
- May- Bingo and Popcorn/ Juice (May 17th)
3rd-5th grade students: will participate in quarterly rewards for positive behaviors (having at least 165 points and no major referrals).
The quarterly rewards for 3-5 will be the following.
- Q4- Bingo and Popcorn/Juice in the Cafeteria for 3-4; 5th will be announced at a later date.
The best way to earn points is to be at school each day and to be Respectful, Organized, Accepting, and Responsible! The character word for the month is Perseverance
