πŸ”¬βœ¨ What a busy week it has been for our 5th graders! βœ¨πŸ”¬

Our Firebirds have been busy exploring the properties of matter and thinking like true scientists! πŸ§ͺ

This week, students:
πŸ§ͺ Made predictions about liquid densities
βšͺ Investigated and compared different spheres
🧲 Explored the power of magnetism
πŸ’§ Used volume displacement to determine the volume of objects

These learners have been exploring, predicting, investigating, questioning, and learning every step of the way! We love watching their curiosity come to life through hands-on science. πŸ”πŸ’‘

Needless to say… Mrs. Dodge is one proud teacher! ❀️πŸ”₯🐦

✨ Glow Beyond Limits ✨
Today, we open the doors to a brand-new school year filled with endless possibilities! 🌟

πŸš— Set Up for Success: Dismissal πŸš—

Keeping our Firebirds safe is our top priority! β€οΈπŸ’™ Thank you for helping us make dismissal a smooth and successful part of every school day.

Please help us keep all students safe by following our dismissal procedures:

🚘 If you need to get out of your car:
Please pull over to the left or right side of the drive-through lane and park before crossing the entryway. This helps keep traffic moving and prevents students from running across the driveway to reach their families.

πŸ“ Dismissal Locations:
🐦 Pre-K: Dismisses from the Pre-K pod and classroom door
🐦 Kindergarten, 1st Grade, 2nd Grade & 6th Grade: Dismiss along the front drive-through
🐦 3rd Grade, 4th Grade & 5th Grade: Dismiss through the back parking lot and north drive

πŸͺͺ Important Safety Reminder:
Students may only be picked up by adults listed in the Contacts section of their electronic student record.

Set your family up for success now by checking your student’s contacts and adding anyone who may need to pick up your child in an emergency situation. We understand that traffic delays, emergencies, and unexpected situations happen β€” planning ahead helps us keep students safe while making sure they are released only to approved adults.

Thank you for partnering with us to create a safe and efficient dismissal process for all of our Firebirds! πŸ”₯🐦

🐦 Set Up for Success: Arrival 🐦

A safe and smooth arrival helps all of our Firebirds start their day ready to learn! β€οΈπŸ’™

All Fitzgerald Firebirds will enter the building through the front doors each morning. Help us keep our students safe by following our arrival procedures and being mindful of others in the drop-off line.

πŸš— If you need to get out of your car to help your young Firebird:
➑️ Please pull over to the left or right side of the drive-through lane so traffic can continue moving safely and efficiently.

🚸 Please also remember to watch for and thank our amazing crossing guards who help our youngest learners safely cross the entryway each morning. Their support helps make arrival a success!

A few important reminders:
πŸͺͺ After the first day of school, anyone needing to enter the building must ring the doorbell and have a physical ID ready for our front office staff.

Thank you for partnering with us to keep our campus safe, organized, and welcoming. Together, we help our Firebirds soar! πŸ”₯

⏰ Set Up for Success: Routine ⏰

Summer schedules are the best β€” staying up a little later, sleeping in, and enjoying those relaxed mornings! β˜€οΈπŸ˜΄ But the first day of school is coming soon, and it’s time to start getting back into a school-year routine.

🐦 Set your family up for success by starting now!

Begin adjusting bedtime and wake-up times a little earlier each day. Sometimes it takes several days for our bodies to adjust to a new schedule, so starting the transition now can help make that first early morning rise a little smoother.

A successful school day starts with a good night’s rest! πŸŒ™βœ¨

We can’t wait to welcome our Firebirds back and start an amazing school year together! β€οΈπŸ’™πŸ”₯
