Students in Mrs. Hubbard's 5th grade class were hard at work today! ✍️
They’ve been practicing writing by composing letters to their pen pals in California. This fun project helps them strengthen their writing skills through planning and editing!

A huge thank you to our amazing maintenance team! They’ve been hard at work replacing the signs out front, and our campus looks fantastic thanks to their efforts! 🖤

We’d like to give a big shoutout to Deputy Hernandez for stepping in to cover for Deputy Mitchell today! He jumped right in and joined our students for a game of basketball during recess. We’re so thankful for all of the amazing deputies who have been helping out while our wonderful Deputy Mitchell is away — they’ve been taking such great care of our school! 🖤💙

This afternoon, our school briefly initiated a shelter-in-place as a precautionary measure. Everyone remained safe and continued with classroom activities during this time. The situation was quickly resolved, and normal operations resumed shortly after. Thank you for your continued trust and support in keeping our school community safe.

🎉 We Did It! 🎉

Thanks to your incredible support, we’ve officially reached our $3,000 goal! 💙 Your generosity, enthusiasm, and teamwork made our fundraiser a huge success.

Every contribution—big or small—helped us get here, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Together, we showed what’s possible when our community comes together for a great cause. We can't wait to celebrate with those funds in our upcoming PBIS events 🙌

From all of us—thank you for making a difference! 💫

Congratulations to Tian Yu Du! 🎉 Tonight at the School Board Meeting, he was recognized for earning a perfect score on his 4th Grade Math FAST Assessment last spring. We are incredibly proud of you, Tian! #StallionScholar

Good evening,

Originally, Seminole had planned to recognize student achievements through a semester awards ceremony, based on discussions that took place last spring during the planning of our Parent and Family Engagement Plan. However, after receiving feedback from families, we understand the importance of celebrating quarterly accomplishments so loved ones can recognize their children at the conclusion of each quarter.

We hear you and are making adjustments accordingly. Because we need time to determine the best dates and give families enough notice to attend, Quarter 1 awards will take place in a few weeks, with tentative dates planned for the first week of November. Please be sure to check our newsletter this weekend, where we will share the finalized dates for all upcoming ceremonies.

Thank you,
Seminole Administration

🌟 Attendance is a family team effort! 🌟

Talk with your child about why school is important, celebrate streaks of on-time attendance, and plan ahead for appointments outside the school day when possible. 💙

Every day your child is in school helps them build friendships, confidence, and skills that make them shine brighter. ✨
