✨ We’re excited to welcome Mrs. Pressley, our Quest Teacher! She is inspiring our scholars to grow bravely, inspire others, and think deeply.💙

Our scholars kicked things off with the story The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds, exploring Vashti’s feelings, thoughts, and transformation throughout the story. 🎨💭

We can’t wait to see how our scholars make their mark! 🌟

The Dot by: Peter H.Reynolds is a great book to add to your home library😊

Attendance matters! We have had several homerooms with perfect attendance this week. Let’s keep up the great work!

Every day in school is a step toward the future!

September is Attendance Awareness Month, and Sumter School District is celebrating the power of showing up. Consistent attendance helps our students build strong routines, stay on track academically, and connect with their peers and teachers.

Let us work together as a community to make sure our students are present, engaged, and ready to learn every single day.

One Standard. Excellence.

🐾Our Panthers Are Ready to ROAR!🐾

This past Friday, our school counselor, Mrs. Cseh, and instructional coach, Mrs. Griffin, provided our teachers with valuable professional learning focused on Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) and data-driven interventions for the 2026–2027 school year.

Through collaboration, intentional planning, and the effective use of student data, our teachers are better equipped to provide targeted support and meet the diverse needs of every learner.

We are excited about the work ahead and remain committed to helping every student grow, achieve, and succeed.

💙💛One Standard. Excellence.🐾
Our Panthers are ready to ROAR into a successful school year!
