What a fantastic day launching Cohort 3 of Black Knight Insight!

We loved taking our community members behind the scenes today to give them a firsthand look at how our schools operate, grow, and inspire students every single day. There was plenty of time spent in various classrooms from kindergarten through 6th grade. Here is a look at where our journey took us:

Truman Learning Center: Explored early childhood development insights with Ashley Bono from Parents as Teachers, plus an inside look at Kindergarten instruction.

Washington-Franklin Elementary: Walked over to dive into classroom instruction and learned how Rachel Armstrong guides our students in Digital Citizenship.

Jefferson Elementary: Took a school bus ride over to learn about the incredible impact of our Title I Intervention programs.

Lincoln Intermediate: Enjoyed a delicious Chick-fil-A box lunch while sitting right alongside our 5th and 6th graders to chat about their experiences during these important transition years.

Roosevelt Elementary: Finished our day exploring the vibrant world of Elementary Elective Classes.

Thank you to all of our community participants for spending your day with us, asking great questions, and seeing the heart of our district in action. We are so proud to share the work our teachers, staff and students do every day!💛⚔️🖤

We invite ALL athletes and activities to be part of the evening “meet & greet under the tent event” to communicate with the community as we celebrate.
