First round of state
We love math!
Mrs. Eddleman's 3rd grade class participated in a math challenge through Prodigy Math. The class was in competition with other 3rd grade classes throughout the state. Each challenge lasts 13 days, and the class with the most correct answers at the end of the challenge wins. 3E came out on top during the last challenge, and is in the lead for the current challenge! Prodigy also awarded certificates to the 3 students in the who answered the most questions correctly during the challenge.
3E worked hard to earn a class reward this semester. They chose to have a Popcorn/Movie/Pajama Day for their reward.

NEW PARKING LOT INFORMATION
With the addition of the parking lot across the road from the school we are better able to bring students to school and send them home in a safe and more controlled environment. We will be adding enter and exit signs on the driveways into the parking lot. The driveway that goes onto Williford will be an entry and exit driveway. During drop off and pick up time the driveway closest to the cross walk will be chained off to make it safer for students walking across the road. During drop off and pick up, Parents should enter the parking lot on Cook Ave and follow the arrows that are marked on the ground. Drivers will then exit the parking lot onto Williford when leaving. Thank you, for working with the school as we want to keep students safe and also get you in and out in a timely manner.

Superintendent
School is about to get underway. We have a few new items to let you know about to make things a little easier when dropping off and picking up students. Like school ended last year, the drop off and pickup line will come in off of 146 behind the school. Drop off and pickup will take place out of the gym doors. Teachers will use the entrance to the back lot that runs beside the playground closest to Caseys. If you are a parent who drops your child off in front of the school please pull in the new parking lot on the south side of Cook ave to drop them off and pick them up. We are wanting to eliminate traffic parking along Cook Ave and turning around in neighboring driveways. There will be a crossing guard to cross students out of the parking lot. Parents please use the new lot for drop off and pick up. We want to avoid people pulling into and dropping or picking students up in the lot by the ball fields. When using the new parking lot please follow the arrows painted on the ground. Lines for parking are marked to help with parking as well.
