Our #SouthSchoolCT staff recently put up this fun activity of "Guess the Staff Member" to bring everyone together for a few smiles and laughter. We had such a good time taking guessing to try and figure our who's who!
100th Day of School! 🎉 Last Thursday our #EastSchool students celebrated the 100th Day of the 2023-24 School Year!
Our kindergarten and first-grade classrooms were engaged with different hands-on learning activities, like necklace making and snack counting, to show all the different ways one could count to 1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣!
What a creative way to teach the importance of the number 100 and the ways it serves as a landmark in our number system!
Did you know?... ⁉️ We created a parent "Quick Links" page for each of our schools!
That's right, one page to quickly access lunch menus, titan portal, district calendar and more! Plus, it's specific to your school's individual needs!
Here's how you can see them:
➡️ School Website -> "Menu -> "Parents" -> "Quick Links"
➡️ NCPS App: School Menu -> "Parents Resources"
