Richard B. Cartmell Elementary

Panther community🐾, please help us spotlight our alumni who are currently serving in the military!🪖🎖️

Panther families, we are aware of power outages at some of our school buildings following tonight's storm. We do not anticipate any impact on school tomorrow. We will notify you as soon as possible if there are any changes.

TOY POLICY REMINDER:
Parents and guardians,
Please remind students that TOYS are NOT permitted at school. We work hard to keep classroom distractions to a minimum, and even toys in backpacks and cubbies can take our attention away from learning.

Yes, even these “cute” little Labubus are a violation of our NO TOY policy! Please do not allow your student to bring them to school.

Please refer to the student handbook or contact the office with questions.
