Our Kindness Fundraiser is going strong! Parents, please register your student if you have not, share their fundraising page with friends and family, and complete the Boarding Pass assignment. Don't forget to have your student turn in their completed Boarding Pass to school tomorrow to earn their prizes! The kindness fundraiser ends on September 28th.

Good morning!

We are six weeks into the school year, and it is off to a great start! We just wanted to send out a few quick reminders:

During afternoon dismissal, please make sure you pull all the way up and do not leave gaps between cars. When gaps are left, the line backs up onto Bamboo, which causes traffic issues.

If you have a grandparent or another family member picking up your child, please make sure they are aware of our dismissal procedures.

For students’ safety, please remember that students need to wear closed-toe shoes to school.

Thank you for helping us keep dismissal running smoothly and, most importantly, keeping our students safe!

This Friday, we will celebrate AVID Day, joining schools across the country in recognizing the impact of educators and students working together to expand access and opportunity. At Pulaski County Special School District, AVID strengthens skills like critical thinking, organization, collaboration, and self-advocacy, helping students prepare for college, careers, and beyond. We are proud of the growth we see every day and grateful for the shared commitment that makes it possible. #MyAVIDWhy #ExpectBelieveSucceed

Cato staff had the opportunity to make a healthy smoothie using a recipe that was created for first grade students! Partnering with Apple Seeds Teaching Farm, we are looking forward to encouraging our students to make healthy choices and learning how eating healthy can be simple and delicious!

This year, our students are earning ClassDojo points for making positive choices, showing kindness, working hard, and following school expectations. We want to continue rewarding those choices through our Student Store, just as we have in the past with PBIS points.

We are asking our Cato families and community partners to help us keep the store stocked throughout the year. Any donation, big or small, is greatly appreciated!

Thank you for helping us make positive choices rewarding!
