5th grade is such an important year as students continue growing as leaders, building friendships, and setting an example for younger Cardinals. It was wonderful to see them laughing, connecting, and making memories as they begin their final year of elementary school.
We are excited to watch our 5th graders learn, lead, and succeed throughout the year! Thank you to their teacher team for all they do to help prepare them for middle school and beyond.

Mrs. Schwartz was seen walking down the hallway with a new friend, one of the students in her class, while Mrs. Cloer read a first day of school story and talked with students about ways to overcome feeling nervous. These moments help students feel welcomed, supported, and ready for a successful year.
We also want to thank our school resource officers for all they do to help care for our school, students, and staff each day. Their presence, support, and dedication make a meaningful difference in our school community.

Available at all Gordon County elementary schools, the After School Program (ASP) provides students in Pre-K through 5th grade with a safe and caring environment from school dismissal until 6:00 p.m. each school day.
