🐯💙💛 Safety First, Tiger Pride Always! 💛💙🐯
At Acorn Elementary, our Acorn Tigers know that safety matters every step of the way! 🐾 We are proud to recognize David for taking safety seriously when crossing the street to get on the school bus.
Our Acorn Tigers are reminded to STOP, LOOK BOTH WAYS, and STAY ALERT when crossing the street. Always use designated crosswalks, watch for moving vehicles, follow bus safety rules, and wait until it is safe to cross. Remember, never assume traffic will stop—make sure the way is clear!
David is a wonderful reminder that safe choices make a big difference. Let's continue encouraging our students to practice good safety habits, look out for one another, and make it safely to and from school each day🐯
Safety First, Tiger Pride Always! 💙💛🌳

📈 Tracking Growth, Celebrating Progress!
Students in Mrs. Chaney’s 5th-grade classroom are taking an active role in tracking their pre- and post-test scores! By monitoring their own data, students can see their individual growth, celebrate their progress, and identify the skills they still need to work on.
This powerful strategy helps students take ownership of their learning, set meaningful goals, and understand that growth happens one step at a time. 💙📚
When students know their data, they know where they are—and where they’re going! 🌟
