Our 4th graders have been hard at work creating Public Service Announcements (PSAs) as part of Module 4 in EL Education literacy curriculum.

Students researched important topics, developed messages, and designed displays to help educate and inspire others throughout our school. We love seeing their creativity, critical thinking, and leadership shine as they use their voices to make a difference.

Be sure to check out the PSAs posted around the building!

Congratulations to our Capitol View Preschool graduates! 🎓

We are so proud of these amazing kiddos and how much they have grown this year.

We sure hope to see all of these great students back in our kindergarten classrooms this fall! 📚✂️✏️🪁🧸

🎉 Congratulations to our students who have successfully exited the ELL program!

Through hard work, dedication, and perseverance, these students demonstrated English language proficiency on their recent ELPA assessment. We are so proud of their growth and accomplishments!

A special thank you to our students, families, and teachers for supporting them along the way. 🌟

We did not receive a new food order today in the pantry due to the holiday this week. We will be open normal hours (3pm-4pm) but do not have any cold food and shelf options are limited. We will be open next week (Thursday, June 4th) from 3pm-4pm!

Our 3rd graders had an amazing day exploring at Jester Park! Students enjoyed hiking through the woods, discovering nature, and participating in a pond scavenger hunt led by naturalists from Polk County Conservation. It was a beautiful day full of hands-on learning and adventure that connected perfectly to our EL literacy curriculum unit focused on water!💧🌿☀️
