After reading the book Jabari Tries and watching the boy in the story try over and over again to build and launch a rocket, kindergarteners used their STEAM skills to do the same thing! Once their rockets were ready, they launched them with our wind tunnel. So exciting!!
Tomorrow, August 26th, is our FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL! We can't wait to see you!
South Elementary staff and students are grateful for incredibly generous people and businesses in Ithaca. Because of the continual support of our surrounding community, we have a brand NEW playground structure and FRESHLY painted equipment. Thank you to everyone who donated their time, energy and/or money to make this possible. Our Junior Jackets will be enjoying this space for years to come because of our incredible town!
Students have been loaded into School Dismissal Manager (SDM). You should receive an email over the weekend that prompts you to update or create a login with SDM. Everyone that attended our Open House should have received an information sheet that will help you navigate the app.
We are looking forward to seeing our Junior Jackets tomorrow!
Latch Key packets will be available during Open House at both North and South Elementary. Latch Key begins the second day of school, Tuesday, August 27th.
We are looking forward to seeing our Junior Jackets at the Open House next week!
