National IT Professionals Day is celebrated on the third Tuesday of each September and was established in 2015 to honor the IT professionals who do the critical but often unseen work to keep our networks and applications running. Please pause and recognize the incredible work our IT team does every single day. Technology is at the heart of everything we do, and when things go wrong—as they sometimes do—it’s our IT professionals who jump in, troubleshoot, and keep us moving forward. While the rest of us may feel the stress of technology hiccups, we are truly grateful that we have a team of experts who not only can solve the problem but actually want to take it on. That’s a gift, and it allows the rest of us to focus on our work knowing we’re in capable hands.
Please take a moment today to send a thank you, share a kind word, or simply let our IT team know how much we value their patience, persistence, and problem-solving skills.
Happy IT Professionals’ Day!

We are proud to announce that Mrs. McDonald has earned the nationally recognized CERI Certification as a Structured Literacy Dyslexia Specialist, a credential recognized by the International Dyslexia Association (IDA). With 21 years of teaching experience—15 of those dedicated specifically to supporting students with dyslexia and related disorders—she brings both expertise and passion to her work. Mrs. McDonald currently serves students at both Lackland Elementary and Stacey Junior High School, where she is committed to helping every learner succeed. |
Here’s a shout out to Mrs. Elena Henson, second grade teacher, who just received her ESL certification! Congratulations! |
Today our students learned a little about Polynesian culture. We talked about leis, sampled a small taste of coconut, and played a fun relay game inspired by the teamwork and rhythm found in Polynesian traditions. The kids had a great time learning, tasting, and moving — and we loved seeing them work together and show curiosity about a new culture. We’re looking forward to sharing more experiences with them next week! |
This week my students enjoyed modeling decimals to the thousandths and a relay race on the track to show how they can represent the decimal numbers in multiple forms with the numbers they created during their race! We also got creative during Eagle Time integrating Hispanic Heritage Month by tying in a book about the life of Frida Kahlo to our weekly skill-Making Connections. |
Today in math our students worked together on a hands-on word problem activity. Each group received a set of cut-up strips from a word problem. They had to work as a team to put the parts of the problem in order, decide what the question was asking, identify what math operation they needed to use, and figure out what information was given.
After putting the pieces together, students used the strip diagram strategy to solve the word problems. This activity helped them practice reading carefully, organizing information, and deciding how to solve real-world math problems step by step.

First graders making systems in science in Mrs. Walker's class. |
I wanted to thank you for helping make our first SFSF class a success! I also want to mention Jesse and Tommy as they were both very helpful in making sure we had what we needed!
We had 7 families attend with a total of 26 people. I consider this a great success. The families were very engaged as we connected through get-to-know-you BINGO, talked through the lesson on connecting with your kids, and created family collages.
If any of the staff ever want to attend to see what SFSF is all about, they are very welcome!
