🚜 Fair Oaks Farm provided an amazing experience and was able to spread so much #joy to our K-2 students with a facilitated tour around their farm 🚜 Students were able to learn the different life stages of animals as well as see them live in action. We thank the parents, student chaperones, and staff for coming out with our K-2 students. Lastly, a HUGE shout-out of gratitude to our CCR advisor, Ms. Matheny for making it happen! #SafetyHumanConnectionLearning 🐷🐄💙
We're back with another college tour! 🔥 Much gratitude and a huge shout out to our College & Career team for giving our Juniors the experience of visiting a range of colleges and universities this semester. This week is Purdue University and Indiana University Northwest College, where students were able to learn more about majors that are offered and visit a few of the many different colleges within. #SafetyHumanConnectionLearning 📚👣
As a reminder, students are able to enter the building between 7:50AM and 8:00AM. School begins at 8:00AM and school is dismissed at 3:00PM.🚌Students who arrive to school after 8:00AM are considered tardy. If a student receives and early dismissal, it will negatively impact their attendance!🔥Arriving to school on time will ensure that your child doesn't miss out on the important learning activities that happen early in the day when they are most alert.💙#AttendTodayAchieveTomorrow #ShowingUpMattersforREAL
