Hard at work at FDES! 🍎📚

Our teachers are engaging in weekly collaborative sessions and ongoing professional learning, led and supported by some of Appling County’s very best! Together, we are strengthening instruction to ensure every student is challenged, supported, and pushed to reach their full potential.

We are so proud of the intentional work happening in our classrooms each and every day. Our students deserve high-quality instruction, and our teachers are committed to delivering it.

At Fourth District, excellence is the standard. We are proud of our teachers, proud of our students, and proud to be FDES! 🐯

❄️ Get ready for a SNOWBALL EXTRAVAGANZA! ❄️

We are excited to kick off a school-wide behavior incentive to celebrate our Tigers who consistently make great choices and demonstrate our Tiger Expectations:

We are Respectful.
We are Responsible.
We are Safe.

Beginning Tuesday, September 1, every day and every choice counts! Routines have been established, expectations have been set, and students are ready for a STRONG year! Students who have no ISS or OSS from September 1 through December 17 will earn the opportunity to join us for our Snowball Extravaganza on December 17!

We’re talking hundreds of snowballs, music, obstacles, activities, and LOTS of fun! Our goal is to recognize and celebrate the positive behavior we see from our Tigers each and every day.

We can’t wait to cheer our students on all semester long. Let’s earn our way to the FUN, Tigers!

POPSICLES WITH THE PRINCIPAL!

Our Tigers enjoyed Popsicles with Mrs. Harper this week! ❤️

For our Pre-K students, we celebrated an awesome first month of school! For our K–5 students, we celebrated successfully completing their BEACON Benchmark assessments and, most importantly, doing their very best! 🌟

A huge thank you to Mrs. Garner and Officer David for helping make our celebration happen! We enjoyed popsicles, listened to music, and even did a little singing in the cafeteria during lunch! 🎶

We are so proud of the hard work our students have put in during this first month of school. Great job, Tigers! Keep working hard and giving your best every day!
