Mrs. Gomez's kindergarteners are having a great start to the year! They are exercising their way to 100 and building social skills while creatively exploring STEM bins.
Mrs. Beards class has had a spectacular week. Students created a kindness web where they shared compliments or kind words with each other, explored STEM tubs, and used Mystery Boxes to practice counting and drawing representations of objects!
Mrs. Foster's class is getting right down to business and learning how to count by 2s using cubes.
Mrs. Korona's second grade art students are gearing up for an amazing year of art projects. Right now, they are creating their portfolios to store all of their wonderful pieces!
Mrs. Dillon’s 3rd grade class had fun in Math by making a “Seasons of our Birthdays” graph! Once we categorized the months into seasons, each student added a tally mark to represent the season of their birthday month. Then, as a class, we created a bar graph and discussed the results! In an effort to extend our learning, students were asked to write their birthday date and draw a small self-portrait. Students then glued these onto the bar graph, creating a pictograph right on top! A double graph had their minds poppin’! We are excited to use this chart in our classroom this year, to help remember everyone’s special day!
Mrs. Cruz's class is off to a great start with picking books from our classroom library and developing independent reading stamina! There were collective groans when it was time to stop for today, which means we have some kiddos who LOVE reading!
Brain bins are an important part of Mrs. Zajkowski's morning work routine. When using them, the students have the opportunity to communicate, collaborate, and be creative! Here's to a great fifth grade year!

Parents/Guardians of students who were enrolled in Culpeper County Public Schools for the 2023-2024 school year should have received an email earlier today to complete a registration update for the 2024-2025 school year. If you did not receive the link, click here: https://www.culpeperschools.org/o/ccps/page/returning-student-registration
This registration update for “returning students” is required in order for students to start school on August 7th.
If you completed a "New School Enrollment" for 2024-2025, you do not need to complete "Returning Student Registration."
It is extremely important that families log in to their parent portal account and complete the “returning student” registration for each child in school. This is an opportunity to review and update any changes to your address, phone numbers, email, health information, emergency contacts, and transportation plan for the new school year.
For issues logging in to Parent Portal or to request paper registration forms, families should contact their child’s school.
Two former students are back at their old stomping grounds helping Mrs. Dugger get the Chromebook carts ready for the 24-25 school year! Can you believe it's almost time? Thank you for your help ladies!
