Our 3rd - 5th students had the opportunity to “Kick Back” and enjoy a special PBIS incentive for starting the school year strong! 💙💛
We celebrated students for good attendance and for consistently showing our 3 M’s:
⭐ Make Respectful Choices
⭐ Make Responsible Choices
⭐ Make Safe Choices
We are proud of our Mustangs for making positive choices and showing up ready to learn each day. Keep it up, Mustangs! 🐴✨

This week, we're shining a spotlight on the incredible work of our Community School Coordinators — the connectors who bring families, schools, and community partners together to support every student! 🎉
This week, meet Brooke Garner, JC Parks Community School Coordinator! 💙 Brooke works every day to build bridges between students, families, and the resources they need to thrive — because when schools and communities work together, students win.
From coordinating partnerships to championing attendance matters, our CSCs are proud to be part of the village it takes to raise a child. 🏫🤝
Thank you, Ms. Garner, for all you do — Stronger Together! 💪
