Phillips Elementary School

Some great professional learning has been taking place at Phillips Elementary! We enjoyed our time with Dr. Layne Dillard and Mrs. Jennifer Warhurst.

Our students were recently treated to a day of fun in celebration of their hard work on ACAP and iReady! Students in grades 3-6 who scored a level 3 or 4 on proficiency or growth on the ACAP and students in grades 1-2 who met their target growth score on iReady were able to participate in a day of free play, water slides, putt putt golf, and a dunking booth. A big thank you to Jump'n Jack Parties for bringing the fun!

Congratulations are in order for perfect attendance for Mrs. Misner's first grade class and Mrs. Campbell's kindergarten class!

A big congratulations to our very own Edalys and Jose Cintron Vega! Eda and Jose were recently recognized by the board of education for earning a score of 4.8 or higher on the WIDA ACCESS assessment and for successfully fulfilling all requirements to exit the English Learner Program. We are so proud of both of you! 🖤❤️

All Marion County Schools' students will dismiss 1/2 day tomorrow, September 16th, for a professional development/teacher workday. Buses will run at 11:30.

Reminder ❗️

PES is celebrating Attendance Awareness Month and has some really great prizes to share.

Spirit Fridays are the best at PES! 🖤❤️ 🐻

Mrs. Warren's 4th graders participated in an engineering design challenge integrating the physical science concepts of motion, speed, and energy!

We’re excited to announce that Phillips Elementary has been chosen to participate in the Disney Musicals in Schools Stage Connect program! This new and exciting opportunity provides our teachers with professional development and materials to produce a Disney KIDS musical right here in our school community. We’re excited to work with @DisneyBroadway to bring the magic of @Disney stories to life on our stage! #DisneyMusicalsInSchools

Every day counts!

Attendance matters! So how about a competition...

All Marion County Schools will be closed Monday, September 7th, in observance of Labor Day.

The safety and well-being of every student is our highest priority. Due to multiple peanut allergies within our school, Phillips Elementary will be making our best effort to become a peanut-free campus. For some children, even a very small amount of peanut or accidental contact can cause a serious and potentially life-threatening allergic reaction. By keeping peanut products out of our school, we can reduce the risk of exposure and help create a safer environment for everyone. Please do not send foods containing peanuts, including: • Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches or Uncrustables • Peanut butter crackers • Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups or similar candy • Granola bars, cookies, or snacks containing peanuts • Trail mix containing peanuts Please check ingredient labels carefully before sending food to school. We understand this may require changes when packing lunches and snacks, and we truly appreciate your cooperation, patience, and support. Working together, we can help keep all of our Phillips students safe, healthy, and ready to learn!

Reminder that there are 2 opportunities to attend our annual title I parent meeting tomorrow! We hope to see you there.

Consent forms will be coming home this week!
