Bullying prevention starts with building a culture of empathy, respect, and belonging.
This month, we’re highlighting how social-emotional learning (SEL) helps students recognize emotions, understand others' perspectives, and build healthy relationships.
When students learn to navigate challenges with empathy and respect, they help create a school community where everyone feels valued and supported. Together, we can make kindness the norm! 🧡

A little communication goes a long way!
We know that sometimes missing school is unavoidable, but keeping us in the loop makes a big difference. If your student will be absent, please contact their school ahead of time whenever possible. This simple step helps our staff maintain accurate attendance records and stay connected with our students and families! 🤝

As we celebrate Red Ribbon Week, let’s remember that creating a healthy, drug-free community is something we can all work toward together! Families, educators, and students each play an important role in encouraging positive choices, building strong relationships, and supporting one another.

🎃 What a pumpkin-spiced perfect day for our Little Sprouts! 🚜🍂
Our PreK classes had the absolute best time visiting the pumpkin patch! From going on a scenic hayride out into the crisp fall air to picking out the most perfect pumpkins, our little ones made so many sweet autumn memories. We also enjoyed a fun and educational learning session inside the barn!
A huge thank you to all of our amazing chaperones, families, and staff who joined us and helped make this field trip so special! ❤️

Missing just two days of school each month can add up to 10% of the school year—or about 18 days.
That lost time can affect academic progress at any age, from early learning through high school. Showing up consistently helps students stay connected, confident, and ready to succeed.
If you need support, reach out to your child’s school office. Every day in the classroom matters! 🤝

⚔️📖Mr. McCallister’s juniors headed to Historic Jamestown for a day of exploration and learning! Mrs. Romero and Mrs. Lohr tagged along for the adventure.
Students had the opportunity to learn from West Point resident Mark Summers, an author and historian who serves as the Educational Director of Youth and Public Programs for Jamestown Rediscovery. Mark shared his extensive knowledge of Jamestown’s history before students toured the site and continued exploring and learning firsthand!

I wanted to share some fun pictures of our little Pointers participating in the Tour de Crab on Friday! 🦀
The West Point Combined PTO hosted this wonderful event with support from the West Point Chamber of Commerce. We are so thankful that our NHS students and several of our cheerleaders were able to assist with this special tradition.
This year, we also opened a few volunteer opportunities to some very responsible middle schoolers, and we couldn’t be more pleased with their help. It was wonderful to see our students of all ages step up and give back to our community.
We are so proud to be a part of the Pointer community! 💙🧡
