Get ready to show your school pride, Bobcats! We are thrilled to announce Career Week Spirit Week, running from March 2–6 at R. Brown McAllister Elementary. This exciting week is all about dreaming big and exploring the many paths ahead of us. We kick things off on Monday with Pajama Day to dream about our futures, followed by a break on Tuesday with no school. The fun continues Wednesday with Hats Off to Our Careers, Thursday's Dress for Success day where you can dress as your future self, and finally, College Ready Friday to sport your favorite university or RBM colors. Let’s make it a week to remember—once a Bobcat, always a Bobcat!

Our Word Of the Week is Text Feature. 

Text Feature is a unique characteristic of a text that emphasizes an important idea or detail.

Dear Families,

This week, our school community will focus on the character strength of Love of Learning. Love of learning means enjoying the process of learning new things, whether in school or on your own.

People with a love of learning are motivated because they find joy in learning itself, not just for rewards like grades or prizes. They are driven by the excitement of discovering and mastering new skills.

Developing a love of learning is important for students because it helps them stay motivated and engaged. It can also improve their mental and physical well-being as they take pride in overcoming challenges and growing.

To practice and encourage the character strength of Love of Learning at home, please visit The Positivity Project’s mobile-friendly P2 for Families (available in English and Spanish), where you will watch a video together and discuss a quote and three questions. Below are links to this week’s P2 for Families lessons. Click on the grade level that best meets your child’s needs.

Thank you for your support!

Now that the snow has past, it is time for our next F.I.R.B. Meeting on March 5 at 5:00pm.

On March 27th, let's show the students we still have skills at the March Madness Basketball games. Please use this link to sign up.  https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0848A5A928AAFFC34-62550817-march

Ms. Brock, our Instructional Technology Facilitator, has begun making improvements to our school webpage based on recent updated guidance regarding ADA compliance for school websites.

As we reorganize pages to improve accessibility and navigation, you may notice that some content, links, or documents have been relocated or renamed.

As part of this update, a few tab names have changed:
