Thank you for a great first quarter of school. As we enter second quarter, please continue to work with your child on reaching his/her academic goals. Parents are a key component of the educational process. To that end, October is Parenting Month. Please come out on Monday, October 16, for our state-wide Parenting Day. We will be discussing the Alabama Literacy Act and its requirements for our K - 3 students.

In addition, we have several activities planned in October for students including Read for the Record, Bullying Prevention Week, Red Ribbon Week, Grandparent's Day Lunch and our Fall Festival. Please make sure your child is at school every day if possible.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please email me at swilcox@mcpss.com or call the school at (251) 861-3864. “Learning Today. Leading Tomorrow.” #AimforExcellence.

Stacey Wilcox, Principal

The Mobile County Public School System is participating in Statewide Parenting Month with October 16, 2023 designated as Statewide Parenting Day. The goal is to better connect home and school. Parent engagement now, more than ever is a key factor to student success in school year-round. By setting aside a specific month, public schools can focus on the importance of parent engagement and investment in their children's education.
