To help alleviate the strain on Calhoun's lower grade dismissal line, car riders in grade 4 and above WITHOUT younger siblings will now be dismissed from the gravel parking lot each afternoon. This is a change from the current grade 5 and above. Please back into a space and remain in your vehicle. Your student will come to you. If your students are car riders in grades 4 and above, you will be in gravel parking lot for dismissal only.
Reminder: Only students whose guardian attended the parent orientation 8/28 may attend MPP before/aftercare Wednesday 9/3. If you registered your student but still need to attend the orientation, please contact Ms. Gerri Le at gcantrell@mcminnschoolschool.com or Ms. Kaitlynn at kbarlok@mcminnschools.com to make arrangements to meet with them prior to your student starting the program.
💡Classroom Spotlight 💡
First grade has spent the first few weeks of school completing challenges to teach that tools help do jobs. These challenges are leading up to learning that brains are the most important tools used! More challenges are to come as they begin to learn about Habits of Character and how those are also helpful tools!
Calhoun 1st Grade is ALL IN to learning!

Congratulations to 6th grader Reagan Garrison and 5th grader Audrey Kerrigan! These ladies were honored at McMinn County 4-H's Awards Ceremony this afternoon for outstanding accomplishments by participating in all available school club activities during the 24-25 school year.

This group of 44 Calhoun students took a STREAM themed field trip today. Destinations included American Museum of Science and Energy, K-25 History Center, and Van Gogh Immersive Experience. We'd like to thank all those who made this trip possible! We were so excited and learned so much that our hair was standing on end!
