Street smarts mean staying aware and making safe choices on busy roads! 🚦 Always look both ways and listen for traffic before crossing. Use crosswalks, obey signals, and stay alert—avoid distractions like your phone. Stay safe out there! 🛣️✨ #StreetSmarts #SafetyFirst

Look at our sweet Little Dragons at Education Station! They have their listening ears on as they learned about the 5 senses!👂🏼❤️🐲

💚❤️ At Purcell Elementary, our Little Dragons are learning what it means to show Dragon CARES — for themselves, for others, and for their school! Our teachers and staff do an incredible job teaching and modeling these important character traits every day. 🐉✨ Our Little Dragons show Dragon CARES through: C – Cooperation A – Awesome Attitude R – Respect E – Empathy & Excellence S – Self-Control We are so proud of our students for practicing these qualities in the classroom, on the playground, in the community, and beyond! 🌟♥️🐲

Good morning Dragon families! 🐉❤️ Thank you to those who joined us at our Safe and Healthy Schools meeting yesterday. We had a great turnout, and our new SRO, Officer Salgado, was very helpful. He shared that our school is doing a wonderful job abiding by the one-way traffic flow and wants to applaud parents for the safe driving in school zones. 🚗👏 We also discussed a few practices that are required for the safety of all students and staff, and we greatly appreciate your cooperation: 1️⃣ No phones during drop-off and pick-up. Distracted driving puts students and staff at risk. 2️⃣ Students must enter and exit from the passenger side. Walking between cars is unsafe. If your child needs to exit on the driver’s side, please pull into a parking space to unload safely. *Note- Staff will be directing you to pull in if students aren’t on the passenger side to unload safely. Thank you again for your continued support in keeping our students, staff, and community safe and strong! 💪✨ 🐲♥️Mrs. Stone

Thank you, Mrs. Tyler, for teaching us about our library and how to check out books! Reading is so important and our Little Dragons are excited to go to the library and to begin checking out books!

Good morning Dragon Families!
Happy Fall Friday! Here is the Dragon Flyer for September. It is packed with information. We will be sending out more information on pictures soon. We have changed picture companies and will share that information soon. Have a great weekend! https://secure.smore.com/n/8f23h

📣 Welcome Back, Parents and Little Dragons! 🐉🍎✏️

We are so excited to kick off another amazing school year at Purcell Elementary! 💚 Our teachers have been hard at work getting everything ready, and we can’t wait to welcome our Little Dragons back into the building! 🏫🎉

Each month, I’ll be sharing The Dragon Flyer 📰 — the principal’s newsletter — here on Seesaw. I’m sharing this month’s edition now to help all incoming students and families get started off strong. 🐾 Pre-K pick-up & drop-off routines are included, along with other important information.

Your child’s teacher will share their class Seesaw code at Back-to-School Night, and you’ll receive weekly newsletters directly from the classroom with updates on instruction and learning. 📝✨

🚗 Help us keep all students safe! Please remember that pick-up and drop-off areas are no phone zones — avoid texting or talking on the phone during these times. Your attention helps keep our Little Dragons safe! ❤️🛑📵

Let’s make this school year one to remember — full of learning, laughter, and growth! 🌟🐉🎓

With Dragon Pride,
Mrs. Stone
