Students in Kindergarten through 12th grade began using their new student badges today. They were distributed by each school yesterday.
Badges will be used for students who ride the bus to and from school, at lunch, to check out library books and to receive computers at the beginning of the school year.
“The new student badges are one more way we can provide for the safety of our students as well as teach them the responsibility of maintaining and using an identification badge,” Chief Operations Officer/Director of Pupil Personnel Mark Willhoite said.
The expectation is that all students will wear their school badge during school hours, whether they are on a bus to and from school, eating lunch or checking out a library book.
“It is important to note that no student will be denied any services because they forget or lose their badge. The soft rollout of the badge usage is a time for the district to identify any problems and make modifications or improvements before the following school year,” Willhoite said.
Thank you for your partnership in encouraging students to wear their badges and make this new initiative a success.


Happy Administrative Professionals Day!

Cartmell students creating the Sellers Community Garden are partnering with the Carroll County Conservation District tomorrow to distribute seed packets and trees.🌱🌳
The Sellers Community Garden is a project initially proposed by Deacon Sellers, a Cartmell student and member of the Student Technology Leadership Program (STLP). Deacon passed away last year and his classmates decided to honor his legacy by pursuing his dream of creating a community garden. The students have worked closely with the conservation district to learn about planting vegetables and flowers. 🥕🫑🌷🌻
Students will also make a presentation for the public about their STLP project in the conference room of the conservation district office. The public is invited to listen to their presentation and pick up a free tree and/or seed packet. The office is located at 1802 Highland Avenue.

Cartmell Elementary students in Ms. Williams and Ms. Clark's classes studied how to prevent water erosion in their science class. These photos show them testing their projects. (Photos courtesy of Ms. Williams.)

Two of our community partners, Wal-Mart and The Scotts Company, have aided the students at Cartmell Elementary who are working on the Sellers Community Garden in honor of their friend and classmate who passed away last year. The garden is a project by the Student Technology Leadership Program (STLP) in honor Deacon Sellers, who was a member of STLP and had a vision for a community garden. They are being helped by CCHS student Coy Willhoite, who is in the agriculture pathway. He secured the donations of tools and soil for the Cartmell students. Thank you to our wonderful community partners who are always willing to lend a hand for our students!



Cartmell Elementary students of Ms. Young's wrapped up Music In Our Schools Month by learning to play the recorder.
