Miss Watson’s first grade class had the sweetest opportunity to spread a little love this Valentine’s Day! ❤️
Her students created Valentine cards for individuals in a local adult day program here in Columbus County. They talked about kindness, inclusion, and how small gestures can make a big difference.
She is so proud of her first graders for using their creativity and big hearts to brighten someone else’s day, in The Warrior Way!!

Monday, February 9, is Parent-Teacher Conference Day for all schools except CCCA. This is a great opportunity to meet with your child’s teacher and discuss how your child is doing in school.

There will be no school for students on this day so that we can focus on these important meetings.

Conferences will be held from 11:30 AM to 7:00 PM. You may choose a time that works best for you and meet in person, by phone, or online—whichever is most convenient.

During the conference, you will learn about your child’s strengths, areas for growth, and ways we can work together to support their success. To schedule your conference, please contact your child’s teacher directly.

Thank you for your continued support of your child’s learning!
