Phillips Elementary School

Our sixth graders showed strong collaboration and engagement in Mrs. Taylor’s social studies class as they explored how new ideas influenced the American colonies. The students had the opportunity to think critically and learn from one another. We’re proud of our sixth-grade Bears!

Proud to be a Bear! Great things are happening at Phillips Elementary and we are excited.

Happy Veterans Day from PES! 🇺🇸

Congratulations to the following classes for winning 🥇, 🥈, and 🥉 place in the October iReady math challenge! We are proud of the hard work that all of our classes put into this competition.

Next week, we will celebrate Numeracy November with some fun, math-themed dress up days. "Numeracy November" is a statewide initiative by the Alabama State Department of Education's Office of Mathematics Improvement (OMI) to promote math learning and number sense in K-5 classrooms.

We would like to invite you to attend our Numeracy Night on November 19th in the Attie Fleming building. There will be door prizes, snacks, and take home activities. Join us for a night of fun and games while learning how to better support your child's mathematical learning!

We warmly invite all parents, guardians, and grandparents to join us for “Together at the Table!” Come enjoy a special lunch with your child(ren), make lasting memories, and celebrate the joy of family and togetherness. We look forward to sharing this special time with you! Please see the information on the image for grade-level dates, times, meal prices, and the ordering deadline.

All Marion County Schools will be closed tomorrow, November 11th, in observance of Veterans Day. Thank a veteran for their service!

CP4E would love for you to come out and shop with the local vendors! This event directly benefits our school. 🎅

We'd love to have you join us for our Veterans Day program!

This is a reminder that tomorrow, Wednesday, November 4th, will be a half day for students. School will dismiss at 11:30. There will also be no after school program tomorrow.

Congratulations 🎉 We are excited to announce our 26-27 Student Council.

NUMERACY NOVEMBER: WEEK 1 It’s time for our first Numeracy November Family Challenge! ⭐ WEEK 1: MATH IN THE KITCHEN! 🥣 This week, make something together and discover how much math happens right in your kitchen! 🥄 Measure ingredients 🔢 Count items ⏰ Set a timer 🥛 Talk about cups, teaspoons, halves, and fourths ➗ Older students can try doubling or halving the recipe! 📸 Snap a picture of your family using math in the kitchen and post them in the comments! Mrs. Wilson will have a surprise for each student who posts a picture of them doing the math challenge this week! Math isn’t just something we do at school—it’s everywhere! See the attached image for a few ideas of how you can use math in the kitchen based on your grade level.

💗 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!
