Community Support During Uncertain Times
We understand that the recent government shutdown may be creating challenges for some of our families. If your family is in need of extra assistance during this time, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Mrs. Johnson — we’re here to help.
Our school currently provides Friday food bags for elementary students, and high school students have access to a food pantry if needed. In addition, Family Worship Ministries in Concord offers a community food pantry on the 2nd and 4th Monday of each month from 6:00 - 7:00 pm.
We’ve had many generous community members reach out asking how they can help, and we want to make sure that support reaches those who need it most. 💛 💜
If your family has a need — big or small — please reach out. You are not alone, and our school and community are here for you.

If your student plans to enroll in a Spring concurrent course (college credit class), this meeting is a must!

We’ll share key details about concurrent coursework, expectations, and credits.
💻 6:00 PM | High School Distance Learning Lab
👉 FSA ID Creation Night for Senior Parents
We’ll walk you through creating your Federal Student Aid (FSA) ID, which your senior will need to complete the FAFSA later this fall.
We can’t wait to see you at Parent-Teacher Conferences — a great time to connect with teachers, get updates, and support your students’ success!

The 4th grade GT students truly enjoyed their lesson on stop motion photography this week from special guest Alex Cooper. They look forward to creating their own videos next week! Thank you, Alex for sharing.









Every now and then I get a chance to see some generational Pirates, and it makes my heart happy. 💜💛I will be collecting photos throughout this year. Please send me any family photos you have of generational Pirates in your purple and gold. How many generations can we get, 4?? 5???
I also wonder who the oldest Pirate is? Who is the oldest Pirate teacher? If you have any ideas, please add to the comments.
Thanks for your help!

Hoco Spirit Week Day 2... Twin Day
The Ultimate Twins!! 💛💜

Yesterday our Cross Country kids competed in the 1A-2 District meet in Viola. Jr. Boys finished in 2nd place as a team while Tyler Davis placed 3rd overall in the Sr. Boys division and Taylor White finished 4th overall in the Sr. Girls division. We are so proud of the heart and determination of all of our runners throughout the year! Go Pirates!










Our third grade students have been busy building bridges as a part of their science unit on forces.
Working in teams, they collaborated to design, build, and test their very own bridges- putting their creativity, problem-solving skills, and understanding of physics into action.
It’s amazing to see what young minds can accomplish when they work together! 💜💛






2nd grade did an amazing job of creating dioramas for their animal habitats. Lots of research went into their projects. The students also presented their projects with their research to the class.💜💛










Congratulations to our September Students of the Month! 💜💛

This week Mrs. Ray's 5th graders spent time working on their personal narratives by "telling" their stories before writing them.💜💛
