Poe Fest was a haunting success! Our ELA, Art, and Theater/Music departments came together to bring Edgar Allan Poe’s world to life. Students showcased eerie artwork, dramatic performances, and spine-tingling stories of suspense.

A huge thank-you to everyone who helped make this cross-curricular celebration unforgettable!

Dear Parents,

I would like to personally invite you to our upcoming parent night, “Jimmy John's with Jackson,” on Tuesday, October 21, from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. in the Calera Middle School cafeteria.

We’ll provide Jimmy John’s sandwiches for everyone to enjoy, and I’ll be partnering with our local CASE SRO program to lead an engaging session on social media and internet safety.
Our SROs will cover topics such as:

  • Apps that can put kids at risk

  • Online predators and stranger danger

  • Cyberbullying and exposure to harmful content

  • The dangers of hidden folders, disappearing messages, and anonymous chat apps

  • Tips for parents to help guide safe online behavior

This is a valuable opportunity to learn how to better protect your child in today’s digital world. I encourage you to attend and bring your questions for our officers.

Thank you for partnering with us to keep our students safe both inside and outside of school.

RSVP Here: https://forms.gle/2VdUN1X7bgNsDozz9
