Parents - as warm weather approaches, please help us by ensuring students are adhering to the dress code. Shorts and skirts need to hit at the students fingertips. Running shorts are not in compliance. This policy is consistent with that of the high school.

Students in Mrs. Byrd's 6th grade Science class completed an owl pellet dissection. Pellets are a record of what owls have eaten. Scientists can study them to learn more about the owl and the ecosystems in which they live. As students dissected owl pellets, they identified bones from that owl's meal and created a food web.
