BREAKING NEWS from PCPS Election HQ! Students at Padgett Elementary went to the polls today to cast their ballots for extra recess, or a no-homework pass. The results are in, and extra recess won with nearly 63% of the vote. Clearly, the recess voters were not playing around. 🗳️

We spent 15 minutes of our teacher workday yesterday making signs and posters to welcome our students back after #HurricaneMilton
I can't wait to check on my @CaldwellElemen Cubbies today.

Great visual shared by @MmeLockhartLDSB via @sstollar6! Strong Tier 1 instruction reduces the need for extra interventions, ensuring students who need intensive support get it. Let’s prioritize strong foundational teaching for every student. #MTSS
