What do our teachers do during Early Release days?
During Early Release, our teachers are hard at work engaging in vertical teaming, where grade levels collaborate across the building to strengthen instruction and ensure consistency from grade to grade.
Today’s focus was on fractions; teachers met to discuss standards, share strategies, and align best practices to support student understanding. This collaboration helps ensure that every Firebird has a strong foundation and smooth progression as they move through each grade level.
Our teachers are always learning, growing, and working together to do what’s best for kids!

Our 5th Graders are on the trail!
Students worked hard researching the Oregon Trail, then brought history to life by designing and creating their own covered wagons. Each project included maps, diagrams, and detailed information that showcased their learning and creativity. What an amazing way to combine research, hands-on learning, and history!🐎🗺️
