⭐ Star Students Spotlight ⭐

Our Star Student program honors the Army Values, recognizing students who demonstrate these important character traits in their daily lives. Loyalty, the first Army Value, was the focus of this month's celebration.

Students were recognized for showing loyalty by being honest, dependable, and supportive members of our school community. Their positive actions help create a welcoming environment where everyone can learn, grow, and succeed.

Congratulations to all of our Star Students! Keep up the great work!

❤️🤍💙 Yesterday, we celebrated Constitution Day, honoring the signing of the U.S. Constitution in 1787, one of the most important documents in our nation's history.

This week, students had the opportunity to read our School Pledge and sign their first name on our School Pledge banner. More than 450 students proudly participated, demonstrating their commitment to our school community and showing pride in both our school and our country.

We are so proud of our Lions for taking part in this meaningful tradition and learning about the values of citizenship, responsibility, and community.

What you will find on the results page:

Strengths families already see: safety, relationships, academic expectations, and overall satisfaction

Areas for focus: parent engagement, communication (including behavior incidents), academic reporting, and achievement in math and English language arts
