As a reminder, Friday, April 7, is an e-Learning day for students and teachers.

Once the assignments are completed, students may submit their assignments using the method requested by the classroom teacher.

Kindergarten through sixth grade classroom teachers will provide support time via zoom to assist students with instruction, assignments, and/or answer instructional questions the students may have. Your child’s classroom teacher(s) will send additional information providing guidance and instructions.

If you have any questions concerning the eLearning day, please contact your child’s teacher or me for assistance. As always, thank you for your continued support.

Meteorologist Eric Burke Visits Blossomwood

Last week, WAFF-48 meteorologist Mr. Eric Burke visited our kindergarten classes. The boys and girls enjoyed learning from him, listening to him read, and asking him a few questions!

ACAP Pep Rally

We had a fantastic ACAP Pep Rally last Friday in preparation for this year's ACAP testing for grades 2 - 6. Special thanks to the Huntsville High School Band, Dance, and Cheer Team for encouraging our students to do their best!

Thank you also to our PTA for providing pom-poms for our students to use during the pep rally. We will be recycling them for the next special pep rally!

Let's have another great week!​

Sincerely,
Bradley A. Scott, Ed.D.
