Panther families, a friendly reminder to help us keep your students warm during recess!

HEADPHONES REMINDER!
Cartmell students use headphones almost daily with online learning programs, and they are essential to student success. PLEASE check with your student and confirm that they have a working pair of headphones in their classroom for daily use. If not, please send a new pair as soon as possible.
Every student should have a pair of over-the-head headphones (both regular audio jack and USB plug-ins are compatible with student devices). NO earbuds, please!
Please reach out to your child's teacher to determine if a new pair is needed, if necessary.
Thank you for your help and support!

🦠 Friendly Reminder: Flu season is here! 🤧
Please be mindful of others if you or your child aren’t feeling well. Keeping sick students home and staying home from work when needed helps protect our entire school community. 🖤💛
Thank you for helping keep everyone healthy! 🏫✨

Cartmell Report Cards for 2nd Nine Weeks were issued today. If your child's report doesn't come home by tomorrow, simply reach out to his/her homeroom teacher.

✨❄️ Winter Break is a perfect time to rest, reflect, and recharge. Enjoy this special time with family and friends, take care of yourself, and come back ready for an amazing new year! ❤️🎉

🎤🎄The Cartmell Elementary Choir Club performed for the school in preparation for their Christmas caroling adventure to the Carroll County Memorial Hospital. Students sang several traditional Christmas tunes and got their friends in on the fun by singing along. 🎄❤️
