South School Pow Wow
The Kindergarten - 2nd grade students spent Friday morning having a schoolwide Pow Wow. Staff members presented lessons to the students with the focus being on the Cool Tools of being respectful, responsible, and safe at South School. In addition to learning the Cool Tools throughout the building, students also learned how to add kindness confetti to the Kindness Tree and how to earn red arrows when they're caught following the Cool Tools!

South School Hand to Hand Pick Up Lines
South School has implemented a new system for the students who are dismissed with hand to hand pick up after school. The purpose is to help match students with caregivers more efficiently. The first four pillars outside of South School are now labeled Preschool, Kindergarten, 1st Grade, and 2nd Grade. When caregivers arrive outside of South, please line up based on the grade the child is in. If you have multiple children, you may choose any of the lines that they are in. This process will make it easier for the staff inside the gym to know which line the students are in in order to more quickly dismiss them. Thank you for working with South School to make this a more streamlined process!
South School Update
The Little Braves are starting on a regular schedule today! The bell rings at 3:20 for dismissal. Thank you!
South School Therapy Dog
Today the Kindergarten - 2nd grade students had the first Tribal Council of the new school year. Mr. Heafner taught the students about Marti, the therapy dog. Students learned about Marti's weekly routine that Mr. Heafner has to help her with in order to be able to be around the students at school and what is expected of the students when they are around Marti.

Thank you for being patient as we use teacherease for the first time to announce homeroom teachers. What we've learned is that the app isn't cooperating! If you go to the actual teacherease website via phone or computer and click on 'Grades' it should work! Thank you to those parents who have reached out to help fix the problem!
Homeroom assignments for South School's K - 2 students will be posted on www.teacherease.com at 8:30 a.m. on Wednesday, August 2!
