My Project

We have hardworking, engaged, rock star learners! They each uniquely contribute to our classroom and school community in such positive ways. Our students come from diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds, and a majority are considered low-income. Our students are high-energy readers, writers, scientists, mathematicians, and crazy awesome leaders and innovators!

Our district and school culture places a large emphasis on teaching to the whole child, meeting students' needs in all ways.

This is so they can be socially, emotionally, and academically prepared for anything they can dream of for their future lives, including college and vocational opportunities.

Engaging and supporting students in common transitions throughout the day will greatly increase learning time and build strong systems in our building that students can count on.

These three-tone chimes will support each classroom in our building in having a common attention-getter that is respectful, engaging, and calm, as well as consistent and fun! Common language and routines in the building and throughout the year promote safety, dependability, and low-stress learning environments.

These chimes will reach all six grade levels in our building, kindergarten through 5th grade. We look forward to enhancing their school experiences as we celebrate their growth throughout the year and increase time on task through quick and seamless transitions. Thank you for investing in our amazing learners and school community.
