W.O.W. Time

Each month students visit the W.O.W. Room for thirty minutes of W.O.W. Time with our school counselor, Ms. Sinclair. W.O.W. stands for Working on Wellness.

Students learn life-long skills to cultivate their emotional wellness and academic growth. Monthly topics include friendship-making skills, positive self-image, emotional regulation, calm-down strategies, study skills, and many more.

 

News team

Our 4th and 5th grade broadcast crew delivers the morning announcements from our own broadcast studio.  

Green screen technology allows us to embed photos and backgrounds.

Prerecorded segments are interwoven with live segments to share birthdays, awards, as well as keep our students up to date on projects and field trips. 

Safety patrol

Each morning and afternoon when you bring your students to school, you will be greeted by our 4th and 5th grade Safety Patrol students in bright orange vests.

Safety Patrol is designed to provide our students with a chance to serve in leadership positions. Members learn to treat each person with courtesy and respect. Safety Patrol's top priority is helping each student arrive and dismiss safely.

The students who participate arrive each morning at 7:25 ready to start the day. Besides the curb patrol position, students man inside stations at key locations. After school, Safety Patrol assists with afternoon dismissal for our bus riders and car riders until 3:45.
