I hope everyone is having a great summer! I have had a blast so far with my family. We have had a lot of fun and great family time. I am back at school for the most part (probably just M, T, W this week and next).
I just wanted to share some mid-summer news with everyone!
Good luck Mrs. Rikki!
Mrs. Rikki Wise was hired as the new Reading Coach @ Elkmont Elementary. We will miss Rikki and want to wish her the best of luck! Good luck Mrs. Rikki!
Good luck Mary Beth!
As most of you already know Mrs. Mary Beth Whiteside will be moving to Texas very soon. Her last day will be July 19th. We will miss Mary Beth and her family! Good luck Mary Beth!
Schedule differences
Now that we have 2 gyms we are able to split our PE schedules and really utilize our new facilities. The biggest change will be in K & 1. Coach Mitchell is PE teacher for CPS and will be in the Old Gym each day. She will teach K and 1 classes and Coach Davis & Blakely will teach 2-5 together in the new gym. We will share the playground and athletic fields.
K and 1 will go to PE in groups of 2 classes and 2nd grade will go in groups of 3 classes.
I am still working on the schedule now.
