I wanted to share an exciting Donors Choose opportunity happening TODAY ONLY! Our school is working to fund mobile standing desks for ALL of our classrooms. These desks will allow teachers to be more present in the hallway to greet students and support a safe, positive start to the day, while also providing flexible learning spaces for students inside the classroom. They can be easily moved and used for small groups, collaboration, independent work, and more! Today only, the Donors Choose Community is boosting every contribution by 50%! That means every donation made today will go even further toward helping us reach our goal. If you are able, we would greatly appreciate you sharing our project with your families, friends, local businesses, and anyone who may be interested in supporting our students. Even a small contribution can make a big difference! Link to the Donors Choose Project: https://www.donorschoose.org/sl/Gz1WCLgTPF Thank you so much for supporting our Trailblazer Family!

parking update flyer
Friday, August 14th, will be the last day that families walk students to class. Beginning Monday, our students will practice an important part of their school routine—independently making their way to class safely and confidently.

This transition helps our students:
✨ Build independence and responsibility
✨ Strengthen confidence in navigating our school
✨ Practice following routines and safety expectations
✨ Begin each day ready to learn and grow

We know this is a change, but it’s an exciting opportunity for our Trailblazers to show what they can do! 💙

Thank you, families, for partnering with us as we prioritize both the independence of our students and the safety and security of our school. Together, we’re Blazing a Trail of Excellence! 🐎💙

EXPECT DELAYS: Our First Time Bus Riders Are Learning the Way 🚌
The first few weeks of school are an exciting time, especially for our youngest students and first time bus riders. As drivers, schools, and families help students learn their routes, pickup and drop-off times may take a little longer than usual.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as everyone settles into a safe and successful routine.

Want to know where your child's bus is? Track it in real time using our bus tracking app: https://www.nassau.k12.fl.us/o/ncsd/page/bus-tracking-apps
