Phillips Elementary School

💗 Today, we honor our very own breast cancer survivors at PES! Your courage, strength, and perseverance inspire us, and we are grateful to celebrate you as part of our school family. We also stand beside those still fighting and remember those we hold close in our hearts. Together, we share hope, show support, and remind one another that no one walks alone. 🎀🐾

Digging Deeper into Data to Help Every Student Grow! 📊📚 Thank you to Dr. Layne Dillard from the Alabama State Department of Education for guiding our team through a valuable professional learning opportunity focused on examining student data more closely. By identifying strengths, uncovering learning gaps, and connecting our findings to the standards, we can better tailor instruction to give each student the support and challenges they need to grow toward mastery. At Phillips Elementary, we are committed to learning together so our students can achieve more! 🐾

Mrs. Gray's 2nd graders kept the Halloween festivities rolling while using pumpkins to make arrays! How fun 🎃

3rd graders in Mrs. Humphries’ math class participated in a real-world activity as they practiced using the distributive property of multiplication by becoming Distributive Doctors. This was such a fun, engaging activity!

A little token of appreciation for all that our teachers do for Phillips Elementary.

A big thank you to the teachers and parents for their partnerships to make sure our students succeed! We enjoyed our annual parent - teacher conferences.

Today was an exciting day of learning, collaboration, and reflection at PES! Our math coach, Mrs. Wilson, had the wonderful opportunity to host a Math Coaching Lab alongside our amazing 3rd grade math teacher, Mrs. Humphries! We were honored to welcome instructional coaches from Walker County, Winston County, Marion County, and Winfield City Schools, along with some incredible AMSTI specialists and the AMSTI Director! Throughout the day, participants had the opportunity to observe math instruction in action, experience the coaching process as Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. Humphries engaged in a coaching session, and participate in meaningful debriefing and reflection. It was a day filled with valuable conversations, collaboration, and professional growth! We are so proud to open our doors, share our learning, and showcase the wonderful things happening in our math classrooms at Phillips Elementary! A special thank you to our amazing teachers for helping provide lunch and to Mrs. Donna Hill for going above and beyond to make everyone feel like royalty during lunch! Your kindness and hospitality helped make the day even more special! We are grateful for opportunities like these that allow educators to learn from one another, grow together, and ultimately make a difference for our students! ❤️🖤 It’s GREAT to be a BEAR! 🐻
