⏰ Every Minute Counts!
Tardies may seem small, but they add up! Missing even a few minutes of class can disrupt learning and make it harder for kids to stay on track. Let's work together to start every day on time and set our students up for success! 🐾

🌟 Door of Distinction 🌟
This student stands out for being both thoughtful and responsible! While his silly personality brings joy to the classroom, he knows when to settle down and focus on his work. Not only does he excel academically, but he also takes pride in keeping his area and our school clean.
From tidying up messes without being asked to encouraging his classmates to maintain a clean boys' restroom, he leads by example. We're proud to celebrate Rhett's dedication and positive impact on our school community! 🐾 #itsagreatdaytobeabulldog
