The goal for boot camp was to provide students with hands on, engaging activities that brought learning to life 💚🐉💙 To say the teachers nailed it, is an understatement! Great job, Dragons!

Cheers 🤩 The start of 24-25 year, and to the successful end of 23-24 year ‼️ Despite barriers/changes, we managed to increase our school score from a 43 to a 44 C. This is NOT the goal but we are grateful for the growth 💙💚 Sights are set on continued growth for our dragons ‼️

Tonight was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING🐉💙 55 K families came to officially sign their Dragon pact 🤩🥳 That’s an AMAZING turn out and I can’t express enough how thankful I am for the support and time spent making this night truly memorable. Thank you from the very bottom of my heart 💚

What a great 1st day 🐉💙 We are SUPER grateful for the amount of support shown by our community. How cool for our students to be greeted in the parent drop off loop by firefighters, police officers, and the Mayor! South Daytona is a SPECIAL place 🐉💙

My visit at South Daytona (South Daytona Elem) today was awesome. Principal Katie Lowrey and her team are doing a great job with their Dragons! It is an awesome place where safety and learning are a priority.

We SEE our dragon teachers 🐉💙We have SO many faculty members that achieved perfect attendance in the month of August ‼️I am grateful for folks that face the challenges of life and still choose to show up and be present for our kiddos! Celebrate allll the things, it matters!

Yesterday’s Grandparent’s Day celebration was nothing short of amazing ❤️‍🩹 We had over 200 grandparents in attendance, taking the time to eat with their grandchildren and to be honored for the vital role they play 💙🐉💚 Today was a GREAT day to be a Dragon ‼️JaneJilka

Leadership is hard. Nobody said it would be easy. 🔺When people talk about you, keep leading. 🔹When people compliment you, keep leading. 🔺When your hard work goes unnoticed, keep leading. Why? Because we are in the kid business. Kids are the reason schools exist. It isn’t

Loved our visit from Dr. Carmen Balgobin today in dragon land 💙🐉💚 She was able to pop in during our leadership meeting and we were grateful for her input! #sdeistheplace2be Heather Conyers South Daytona Elem

It takes a village and we are grateful for ours 🐉💙Today was Volusia County Schools “Principal for a Day” event and we welcomed Mrs. Whittington-Boone from Marriott. We can’t thank her enough for her support and genuine desire to watch our dragons thrive and succeed. ✨

It was a GREAT day to be a dragon 🐉💙Traveled around campus with 5 teachers, observing amazing instruction. Learning Walks are some of our favorite days, and we are grateful that we have an amazing faculty dedicated to building up one another, day in and day out ✨💥👏🏼‼️

What an amazing morning ✨The Great American Teach-in was a HUGE success at SDE 🐉💙 We are grateful for everyone that volunteered their time. #DragonFamily

You’re gonna make mistakes this year.  That’s ok… you’ll learn from them.  They’ll make you better.  Don’t be afraid of mistakes; embrace the process.

It’s a great feeling when practices you are implementing at your school are also jumping off the pages of a tried and try book 📕 ✨ It isn’t always pretty, sometimes it’s downright uncomfy; BUT the team we have South Daytona Elem are ready for the challenge 🐉 #supportingeachother
