This week, we proudly celebrated Starts With Hello Week, a powerful initiative that encourages students to foster inclusivity, kindness, and connection. It was heartwarming to see our students reaching out, making new friends, and truly embracing the spirit of belonging.

Looking ahead, we’re thrilled to announce that Rock Your School Day is coming up on October 1st! Get ready for a day filled with creativity, excitement, and unforgettable learning experiences as our teachers and staff go all out to make education come alive in bold and inspiring ways.

And don’t forget — Fall Picture Day is right around the corner on October 2nd. Make sure those outfits are ready and those smiles are shining!

Thank you for your continued support and partnership. We can’t wait to share more joyful moments with you as the season unfolds.

Yours In Learning,

Melissa Gordon, Principal

We’re excited to share how our Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) system is helping students grow into confident, respectful, and responsible learners.

Students earn Camelot Cash by demonstrating behaviors that align with our school-wide expectations, summed up in the acronym BRAVE.

Whether it’s helping a classmate, staying focused during lessons, walking safely in the hallways, or showing kindness on the playground, students are recognized for making positive choices that build a strong and caring school community.

Teachers and staff award Camelot Cash when they see students living out BRAVE expectations. Next week, September 22-26, will be students' first time shopping at the Camelot Shoppe this year. Students will be able to use their Camelot Cash to “purchase” fun rewards, participate in special activities, or save up for exciting incentives throughout the year, including a fun Snowcone Luau in October. This system not only celebrates good behavior—it also teaches goal-setting, accountability, and the joy of contributing to a positive school culture.

Thank you for your continued support in helping our students be BRAVE every day. Together, we’re building a school where character counts and kindness leads the way.

Students who were "On Grade Level" in grades 3, 4, or 5, based on Spring 2025 Assessments, will receive a letter of congratulations from the Florida Commissioner of Education. Letters will be given to teachers to send home with students this week. We are proud of our students and their many accomplishments!

Our school has been selected to participate in the Orange County Supervisor of Elections “I Voted” Sticker Design Contest.

This contest invites students in 2nd through 5th grade to design their own version of the iconic “I Voted” sticker. This is a fantastic opportunity to introduce students to civic engagement and the importance of voting, all while sparking their creativity. The winning design will be turned into real “I Voted” stickers to be distributed in an upcoming election! Honorable Mention designs will be on display at the Supervisor of Elections office.

Students need to have their parent/guardian fill out the consent page before returning their design. They can drop it off on the cart outside the Art room or their teacher can place it in Ms. Hagarty's mailbox.

E-Scooter and E-Bike Safety Awareness E-Scooters and E-Bikes have become a common mode of transportation for many students across Orange County. With this increase in use, OCPS has seen a rise in accidents involving students traveling to and from school on these devices.

If your school students ride an E-Scooter or E-Bike to school, please take time to review safety procedures with them and ensure they understand the rules and regulations that apply.

Safe riding practices help protect not only your student but also others on the road and sidewalks.

• Florida Statutes §316.2065 (Bicycle Regulations) and §316.20655 (E-Bike Regulations)

• E-Scooter and E-Bike Informational Card

• Orange County Sheriff’s Office Guide to Mopeds, GoPeds, Pocket Bikes, and Motorized Scooters

• Helmets are strongly encouraged (and required by law for riders under 16).

• Riders should obey all traffic signals and posted signs.

• Riders should dismount their E-Scooter or E-Bike before crossing a crosswalk.

• E-Scooters and E-Bikes must follow the same rules as bicycles on the road.

• Devices should not be operated on school campuses unless specifically permitted.

• Students should never ride with multiple passengers unless the device is designed for it.

• Night riding requires lights and reflective gear for visibility.

If you have questions, please reach out to the Office of Occupational Safety and Health at OfficeofSafety@ocps.net.
