Mrs. Kelly’s class put their geometry skills to the ultimate test today by building towers out of 3D shapes! 🟥🔵 The students had a blast in a friendly competition to see who could engineer the absolute tallest tower using only their blocks.
Check out these impressive structures! Who knew learning about 3D shapes could be this much fun? 🤩📏

Spring is in the air, and our PreK classes had the sweetest time celebrating outdoors! ☀️🌿
We loved spending this beautiful day with our students and their families—playing fun games, chasing bubbles, and dancing along to cheerful music in the sunshine. 🌼🫧🎶
Thank you so much to all the parents and families for joining us. We truly appreciate you taking the time to be part of these special moments and making our spring day so full of joy and laughter! 💛


The Evans County School System is beginning a soft launch as we transition from KiNVO to ParentSquare.
During this initial phase, ParentSquare will be used for:
*Urgent alerts across the district
*Attendance notifications at Claxton High School
*Communication from teachers for summer school activities
We will fully implement ParentSquare for the 2026–2027 school year.
At that time, families will be able to:
*Communicate easily with teachers
*Receive important district and school updates
*Customize how and when you receive messages
*View all of your students in one account
You can access everything from your phone, computer, or the free app.
In the coming days, you will receive a text message with instructions on how to verify your account.
We’re excited about this transition and look forward to building stronger connections and improving communication across our school community.

What happens when a peaceful protest turns chaotic, and a student is suspended without a chance to tell her side of the story? That was the high-stakes scenario facing Coach Lanier’s students recently!
After studying Civil Rights, Civil Liberties, and Due Process, our Tigers put their knowledge to the test using an interactive iCivics court simulation. The case centered on a student’s right to a fair process and whether her school overstepped when they suspended her for carrying a protest sign.
The Courtroom Roles:
The Defense: Arguing for the school’s right to maintain order.
The Plaintiff: Fighting for the student's right to due process and free speech.
The Supreme Court Justices: Reviewing the arguments and making the final ruling.
This simulation was a powerful way to bridge the gap between our current unit and the Judicial Branch, showing exactly how the Supreme Court functions as an appellate court. Our students did an incredible job researching their positions and preparing for "heated" counter-arguments! 🐯🖤💛

Today we are celebrating a remarkable leader: Mrs. Julie Howard! 💖🥳
As she retires as principal of Claxton Elementary, we want to say a massive THANK YOU to honor her 31 amazing years of service in education, with 7 of those years spent right here in the Evans County School System!
Mrs. Howard has been the guiding light of our school. Her wisdom and love for our students and staff have made her an incredible principal. These photos capture just a tiny glimpse of the joy she brought to our halls every day, always stepping up as a mentor, a friend, and our biggest cheerleader.
Claxton will always be a better place because of you, Mrs. Howard. Wishing you all the relaxation and new adventures in your well-deserved retirement! 🐯✨
