🧪✨ Our 7th graders turned science class into a fizz-tastic experiment today! They investigated bath bombs by separating out the ingredients to discover exactly which part causes that bubbly reaction. Lots of curiosity, lots of fizz, and lots of learning! 💥💡 #PantherScience #FizzAndLearn #SeventhGradeScientists #OneClaw

🌞🦗 Before school even started, Owen spotted a praying mantis warming itself on the blacktop in the sun and quickly called other students over to take a look. The group was curious, respectful, and full of questions, sharing what they knew about mantises and their habitat. Learning doesn’t just happen in the classroom—it’s all around us! 💡🐾 #PantherClaw #Curiosity #LearningEverywhere #RespectfulLearners

🌿 Science in Action! 🌿 Our 5th and 6th graders have spent the past two weeks studying a nurse log—observing the changes, growth, and life it supports. Their detailed observations show just how much can be learned when we slow down and look closely at nature. 👏 Huge shoutout to Mrs. Buchanan for leading such an engaging and hands-on science lesson! 🐾 #PantherClaw #HandsOnLearning #FutureScientists

🐾✨ Our first graders had a messy (but oh-so-fun) first week of school! From giggles to shaving cream, they’ve already shown us that learning can be both exciting and hands-on. We can’t wait to see the incredible growth these young cubs will show this year! 🌟📚 #PantherClaw #PantherFamily #PantherNation #FirstGradeFun #FutureLeaders #MessyLearning #PantherPride

🌶 Panther Claw Pepper Challenge! 🌶

This week, Mrs. Buchanan is bringing fresh, garden-grown peppers for a spicy challenge! Students and staff who want to test their taste buds can eat the peppers—one by one—until they decide they’ve had enough.

Don’t worry—participation is totally optional. If you’d prefer your child not take part in the challenge, just let us know.

Let the spice (or fun!) begin! 🌟

Dear Families, Friends and Community,

As our last first week of high school is approaching we wanted to share our Senior Sunrise! We would also like to express our gratitude for each and everyone who has made our experience throughout AC incredible. We are blessed to have the community and staff we do in order to make this time in our lives bittersweet.

Thank you to the teachers for being "tough" on us when we needed it most, thank you custodians for ensuring that the many jobs you do, are done well in order to keep us healthy and safe, and as for everyone else, thank you for being there for each step.

With all that being said, we may or may not need another spelling lesson (see our sign). With many more adventures to come, we want to share them with the people who helped us make it to our end goal💙💛

On Friday, September 5th, Sheridan County School District #3 will hold a planned Temporary Virtual Education (TVE) day. This scheduled district-wide virtual day is intended to help teachers, students, and families practice the process and technology for virtual learning, so we are well-prepared should the need arise with short notice.

Instruction will follow our TVE guidelines and may be delivered synchronously or asynchronously. Attendance will be taken in accordance with District policy. Students will complete assignments and participate in learning activities from home.

K–6 Students: Instruction will take place through 1:00 p.m., and teachers will communicate each class’s schedule for the day directly to families.

If you anticipate any additional needs please contact your child’s teacher in advance so preparations can be made.

Thank you for your cooperation in helping us ensure a smooth and successful first TVE day of the year.
