⚔️📖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! 💙🧡

Today is National Custodian Day!
We’re grateful for the dedicated custodians who help keep our schools clean, welcoming, and ready for learning each day. From preparing spaces and maintaining facilities to responding when an extra hand is needed, their work makes a difference throughout our schools.

Starbucks Day in 5th Grade!
5th grade SO much fun learning today with four Starbucks-inspired rotations! The day was filled with learning, laughter, tasty treats, and lots of Starbucks-inspired fun! 💚
📚 Book Tasting — students enjoyed a yummy sweet fall trail mix while “tasting” some awesome book recommendations!
🌱 Stem-and-Leaf Poster Challenge — creating and organizing data in a creative way.
☕️ Coffee Bean Estimation — making estimates, testing our thinking, and analyzing our results.
🔢 Speed of Place Value — putting our place value skills to the test in a fast-paced challenge!
And of course, no Starbucks Day would be complete without Starbucks-themed drinks and a salty popcorn snack to enjoy along the way!
It was a fun-filled day of math, reading, collaboration, and delicious treats!

Building a strong school community happens through the small things we do every day to help others feel welcomed, included, and valued.
As West Point Public Schools focuses on “Belonging and Building Community,” challenge your student to think about:
💬 Who can I get to know?
💬 How can I make someone feel welcome?
💬 What can I do to make my school a stronger community?
Small actions can make a big difference. Together, we can build a school community where everyone has a place. 💙

This month, West Point Public Schools is focusing on “Belonging and Building Community” as part of our school-wide Social Emotional Learning initiative.
Belonging means knowing that you are seen, valued, accepted, and an important part of your school community. When students feel connected to the people and places around them, they are better prepared to learn, build positive relationships, and navigate challenges.
Throughout the month, our schools will create opportunities for students to build relationships, include others, contribute to their school community, and recognize what makes each person unique.
A strong school community starts with each of us. Let’s work together to make sure every Pointer knows: You belong here. 💙

Missing just two days of school each month can add up to 10% of the school year—or about 18 days.
This 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! 🤝

Being at school every day gives students more opportunities to learn, participate, and stay connected with their teachers and classmates. Regular attendance helps students keep up with instruction and assignments—and can make it easier to stay on track throughout the school year.
Every school day is an opportunity to learn and grow. Let’s make it count! 💯
