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!

Mrs. Hughes’ class is loving school! These Firebirds are learning, laughing, and growing stronger together every day!

🎉 Positive Bus Referral Shoutout! 🚌✨
A huge Firebird congratulations to Chase and Bailey for earning a Positive Bus Referral! These two have been showing great respect, responsibility, and Firebird pride while riding the bus. Way to go, leaders — keep setting a great example for others! 🔥💛💙
