Did you know that in our 6th Grade ELA classes, students are acting like detectives?

🌟📘 October is National Principals Month, and today we celebrate the outstanding principals leading our middle schools and K–8 schools!
Whether they are guiding students through the excitement and challenges of middle school or supporting learners from their very first days in kindergarten all the way through 8th grade, these principals are building strong bridges to the future. Their leadership helps students grow academically, socially, and emotionally during some of the most important years of development. To our Lake County Schools middle and K–8 principals: thank you for your dedication, vision, and commitment to helping every student thrive. 💙

Thank you to our community partners Crumbl and Millers Ale House who helped us celebrate Custodial Appreciation Day!



Congratulations to our October Gators of the Month! We are so proud of you!

We had a wonderful morning of learning and celebrating staff. This morning we learned more about teaching students to use context clues when reading. This learning was lead by some of our fabulous teacher leaders. Thank you, Ms. Grady, Ms. Rivera, and Ms. Natto!
We also celebrated our Gator Teachers of the Month - Ms. Thompson, Mr. Richardson, and Mr. Ramirez. Thank you for all you do!






Today we had a blast celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month. We had a District representative sharing information to assist ELL families, games, music, food, piñata, and dancing. Families really enjoyed the time together. Thank you to everyone that helped make this event a success!
