First grade is learning about plants and have planted seeds (Lima beans). On Friday, Mrs. Wakefield read the book, The World’s BEST Class Plant, to all of the first graders! She also donated a spider plant (from her own spider plant) to each first grade classroom. The spider plant is known for producing “babies” or spiders. The students will help to care for the spider plant with hopes that by the end of the school year there will be enough spiderettes for each student to carry home!

Moments like these!🥹💙
Last week, Mortimer Jordan High School hosted kindergartners from Warrior Elementary and Bryan Elementary for a pep rally! One of our favorite interactions from the day happened during a new tradition, where seniors and kindergartners exchanged letters. The 12th graders gave words of encouragement and advice in their letters, and the kindergartners shared precious notes filled with drawings! This was such a touching moment. Thank you, MJHS for creating unforgettable memories for these students!

Pre- K Parents:
We have a new gravel pull-through area for our Pre-K carline that we are hoping will help with the congestion during the afternoon carline. Please review the map so that the carline will go as smoothly as possible. There are gates that you will go through to go around the loop and then to exit. Please do not get in the grass, please stay on the gravel. We will have teachers outside to help everyone know where to stop and load.

Parents of students Kindergarten through fifth grade:
There are some minor adjustments to carline this year. Everyone will still line up on the same road. Please enter on Stroup Road then turn left on to Mosley Loop Road. However, to keep the front of the school entrance open in the afternoon, we are going to push the line back a few feet. This is so that the front entrance is not blocked. There will be a road barricade to indicate where to start the line. When carline begins, we will move the barricade so that you can pull forward. The parking lot map shows the directions to go in and out. PLEASE REMEMBER there is NO TURNING LEFT into the parking during carline time.
