Good morning, You may hear students talking about the our new alert system today.
Calhoun County School is in the final stages of testing the system, provided by the COPS Grant, in our schools. This system will allow quicker response times for schools and first responders in case of an emergency. Evaluation of the system is starting, to ensure all the settings and various announcements are working.

Join us at any of the following locations.


Join us at 1.

Save the Children has an opportunity for children and families in Calhoun County! We offer weekly Parent Child Groups throughout the county. The focus of these groups will be Kindergarten Readiness Skills for children 3 to 5 years old, but all younger siblings are also welcomed to attend. Snacks will also be provided! One lucky parent/caregiver will win a small door prize.
During the weekly Parent Child Groups, we will be exploring the following Language, Literacy and Math Kindergarten Readiness skill areas: Knowing about the alphabet, books and print; talking and listening; understanding words and sounds; numbers, counting, patterns, sorting and classification; comparison, measurement and geometry. These are all critical skills that your child needs in order to be prepared for Preschool and Kindergarten. I look forward to meeting you and helping prepare your child for school success!
These groups are great for those who are entering Preschool for the 2023-2024 school year. They will help them become familiar with the school, classroom and staff.

Be on the lookout over the next couple of weeks for bags that say Book Hunt on them. I will be hiding several of them throughout the county. Once you and your child have found a bag please, tag me in a post that you have found one of the the Book Hunt bags, private message me showing me or come to a group and see what all we do during these groups.
My goal is to bring more awareness to, two of the programs we offer families in Calhoun County with children 5 and under. These 2 programs are Early Steps to School Success and Early Steps to Kindergarten Readiness.
