Cutest Surprise of the Day!
Mrs. Lancaster’s students pulled off the sweetest surprise this afternoon—a baby shower just for her! Complete with decorations, gifts, and plenty of giggles, it was a joyful celebration for the mom-to-be!
We had a great visit from Edmentum today!
Their team observed the of our classrooms in action and hosted a Q&A session with our students. It was a valuable opportunity for our learners to ask questions, share their experiences, and connect with education professionals!
Mrs. Bullard’s class worked in convention stations today.
Students drew two random simple sentences and combined them into compound sentences. They also learned how to enhance their writing by adding appositive phrases. It was a fun and engaging way to sharpen their grammar skills!
Ms. Walton’s classes got to take their measurement skills outdoors today, proving that Math isn’t just for the classroom!
Today we celebrated the well-deserved retirement of six incredible educators: Mrs. Vann, Mrs. McClain, Mrs. Ward, Mrs. McGaughy, Mrs. Blackman, and Mrs. Mitchell! Their dedication, passion, and years of service have made a lasting impact on our school community. We wish them all the best in this exciting new chapter!

Dismissal just got a little more fun at school today! Mrs. Glass and our admin brought the laughs as they led the kids out as crabs! 🦀
Mrs. Layton’s 5th grade class took their learning outside today! They worked together to decode a mysterious message from "The City of Ember"—just like the characters in the book!
Mrs. Lancaster’s class had a blast exploring measurements! Students worked together to measure various objects around the classroom, putting their math skills to work in a fun and hands-on way!
We couldn’t let today end without thanking the true superheroes of the TIS front office — Emily and Nidia! From hunting down subs to juggling 12 things at once, you keep this place from falling apart (and somehow do it with a smile). Happy Administrative Professionals Day to the queens of calm in a sea of chaos!
