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!💛⚔️🖤

Join us Friday, September 11, at our home football game for a special evening focused on bringing our school and community together. This is more than a football game. It is a night to honor those who serve, celebrate our students, and strengthen the connections that make our community special.

PRIDE
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.

UNITY
Come meet our Superintendent, Dr. Hardy, and officially welcome her to our school community. Our Board of Education will also be present to meet families, students, staff and community members, answer questions, hear ideas and connect with our community.

FREE HOT DOGS & WATER...while supplies last!
