🚗🦅 CAR LINE SAFETY REMINDER 🦅🚗

Dear Parents and Guardians,

The safety of our students, families, and staff is our top priority! We kindly ask for your cooperation in keeping our afternoon car line safe and running smoothly.

🚫 Please do not drive on the left side of the road to pass vehicles waiting in the car line. This creates a dangerous situation and disrupts the flow of traffic for families trying to enter the car line.

↩️ Need to turn left? As you exit the school parking lot, please use the dirt parking lot across the street to safely go around the car line rather than passing waiting vehicles on the left.

📵 Please put cell phones away while in the car line. Staying alert and limiting distractions helps keep everyone safe and allows us to move vehicles through the line more efficiently.

💛 Thank you for your patience, cooperation, and commitment to keeping our Eagles safe! By working together, we can make afternoon dismissal safer and smoother for everyone.

Safety First. Patience Always. Eagles Together! 🦅❤️💛

Our students had a wonderful time exploring their interests through club activities! From crafting, reading, yoga, and cooking to drama, art, and more, students had opportunities to learn new skills, express their creativity, and work with friends.

Club time is a fun way for students to discover new talents, build confidence, and enjoy learning beyond the classroom. We loved seeing their enthusiasm and all the amazing things they created and accomplished!

Investing in Our Students. Supporting Our Schools. Building Possibilities.

We are incredibly grateful to SRP Federal Credit Union for investing in the future of our elementary students and educators through its new Investing in Education: Unlimited Possibilities initiative.

At the kickoff event held at the WOW! Club at, SRP Park in North Augusta, SRP Federal Credit Union announced that 83 schools across 10 CSRA counties will each receive $2,500 representing a remarkable $207,500 total investment in local elementary education.

This generous support gives our principals the flexibility to respond to the unique needs of their schools — whether that means providing instructional resources, creating hands-on learning experiences, supporting teachers, or offering enriching opportunities for students.

“This investment empowers our principals to respond directly to the unique needs of their schools and create meaningful opportunities through instructional resources, hands-on learning, and enrichment experiences," Dr. Charlene Heard, Assistant Superintendent of Elementary Schools said.

Partnerships like this remind us what is possible when our schools and community come together with a shared commitment to student success. We are proud to have SRP Federal Credit Union investing alongside us and helping create unlimited possibilities for our students!
