📚🧃 Jitter Juice & First Day Feelings in Ms. Anderson’s Class! 🧃📚
Ms. Anderson’s 2nd grade class kicked off the school year with a fun and thoughtful activity centered around the book First Day Jitters by Julie Danneberg. 💙
After reading the story, students had an open discussion about the feelings that come with the first day of school — from excitement to nervous butterflies — learning that it’s okay to feel a little jittery. To wrap up the story, they created and sipped on “Jitter Juice” with silly straws to celebrate facing those feelings with confidence and fun! 😄🌀
This engaging activity supports South Carolina ELA Standard 2.RL.5.1: Ask and answer literal and inferential questions to demonstrate understanding of a text; refer to details and examples in a text when explaining what the text says and drawing inferences.
We’re so proud of our students for starting the year strong, sharing their feelings, and supporting one another. What an awesome first day in 2nd grade!

✏️🖍️ Sensory + Standards = Smiles in Kindergarten! 🧼💙
On Day 2 of Kindergarten, our youngest Dolphins dove into learning with a hands-on, foamy adventure! Students practiced writing their names and the letter “L” using shaving cream — a fun, sensory-rich way to build fine motor skills and early literacy.
This activity aligns with the South Carolina Kindergarten ELA Standard: K.W.2.2 – Use a combination of drawing, dictating, and writing to compose informative/explanatory texts. Today, they used creative movement and texture to begin mastering letter formation — and had loads of fun in the process!
We’re off to an amazing start, and our little learners are already making big strides! 🐬📚

☀️📚 First Day Fun — Indoors! 📚☀️
Our first and second graders had a fantastic first day of school at NAUES! Even though the temperatures outside kept us indoors, that didn’t stop the fun. During indoor recess, our students spent time catching up with old friends and making new ones — laughter, smiles, and joyful chatter filled the rooms!
It was heartwarming to see our young Dolphins reconnect and settle into their new routines with such excitement and positivity. This day was a perfect reminder that it’s not where you play, but who you're with that makes the memories special.
Here’s to a year full of friendship, learning, and joy — no matter the weather! 💙🐬

North Augusta Elementary Car Line Dismissal Information! 🚗
Parents, get ready for a smooth dismissal! We're using an electronic system to make picking up your child quick and efficient.
How Our Car Line Works:
Dismissal Cards Are Key! Every family will receive a 3-digit dismissal number on a school-issued card. Please display this card with your child's name(s) and family number clearly visible on your dashboard or in your car window. A staff member will enter your code, and your child will be brought to your car.
Need extra cards? If grandparents, babysitters, or other approved adults will be picking up your child, please pick up additional dismissal cards from the school office. You must have a card displayed to pick up your child!
Choosing Your Car Line:
North Augusta Elementary has two convenient car lines to help manage traffic and get students home safely:
Front Car Line (Accessed from Georgia Ave.)
This line can get busy! We kindly ask that only Kindergarten and 1st Grade students (or those riding with them) use the front car line for dismissal.
Back Car Line (Accessed from Buena Vista Ave.)
Highly Recommended for 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th Grade car riders! The back car line exit is closer to these classrooms, and using it helps reduce congestion in the front.
Need directions to the back car line?
For the North Augusta Elementary School back car line, head to East Buena Vista Avenue and turn onto Mealing Avenue. Make a left turn onto Goldman Street. Continue on Goldman Street by taking the first right, and this will lead you directly to the back gate entrance.
We appreciate your cooperation in making dismissal safe and efficient for all our students!

Parents and Guardians now is the time to schedule a well-visit or vaccine appointment with your child’s healthcare provider to avoid the back-to-school rush before the 2025-26 school year begins on July 21! The SC Department of Public Health is also offering a vaccine clinic for students in grades 5K–12 on July 8 from 9–11:30 a.m. and 1–3:30 p.m. at the Aiken County Health Department (222 Beaufort Street NE, Aiken). Call (803) 642-7543 to make an appointment and bring vaccination and insurance records; a parent or guardian must accompany children under 16. No-cost vaccines may be available, though administration fees may apply. Don’t forget to submit your child’s updated SC Immunization Certificate to their school and note that all rising 7th graders must have a Tdap booster given at age 10 or older. Contact your child’s healthcare provider or school nurse with any questions and visit acpsd.net/page/nursing-services for more information.

North Augusta Elementary Welcomes New Assistant Principal for 2025–2026 School Year
North Augusta, SC – North Augusta Elementary School is excited to announce that Mrs. Ashley Clark has been named the new Assistant Principal for the 2025–2026 school year. She will join the administrative team as the school gains a second assistant principal to further support its growing student population and continued commitment to excellence.
Mrs. Clark is no stranger to North Augusta Elementary or the Dolphin family. A proud North Augusta native, she brings with her a wealth of experience, a deep-rooted love for the community, and an unwavering dedication to student success.
Her educational background is both impressive and inspiring:
Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education
Master’s degree in Divergent Learning
Master’s degree in Educational Leadership
With over 20 years of experience in the field of education, Mrs. Clark has worn many hats. She served as a classroom teacher at Belvedere Elementary for 17 years, worked as an ELA Support Specialist at the district level for three years, and is currently North Augusta Elementary’s Instructional Coach—a role in which she has made a significant impact.
Beyond her professional accomplishments, Mrs. Clark is a devoted wife and mother. She enjoys spending time with her husband, their three sons, four dogs, and a delightfully entertaining axolotl. The Clark family cherishes Carolina football, mountain retreats, and beachside adventures.
“We are incredibly fortunate to have someone of Mrs. Clark’s caliber joining our leadership team,” said the school’s principal. “Her passion for education, coupled with her strong ties to this community, make her an invaluable asset to our school.”
Please join us in extending a warm Dolphin welcome to Mrs. Ashley Clark as she begins her new role as Assistant Principal at North Augusta Elementary School!
