Elementary students use artistic and creative thinking skills to build designs using the slot and tab method. The Imaginarium class creates connections across the curriculum highlighting all the fun and exciting aspects of STEM.
Critical Thinking in Action: Last week, high school teachers prepared to lead a design challenge to build a system that would protect two “astronauts” when landing on the moon. This week, it was the students' turn to practice using the engineering design cycle to complete the same design challenge.
Thanks to Metro Elementary families for a first great day! We appreciate your support and understanding as we fine-tune our routines. We know the afternoon pick up was lengthy yesterday; our staff is working on adjustments to make the process more efficient while keeping safety as a top priority. We're excited for a great year ahead and are glad you're with us on this journey!

It's been a busy and exciting week as teachers prepare for the start of classes. The middle and high school welcomed our new elementary team today for a district-wide training with Superintendent Meka Pace. We are geared up to welcome students at both campuses on Monday!
New middle and high school students enjoyed three days of orientation during Summer Bridge - an exciting time to meet friends, learn more about Metro and get the ball rolling on a great school year. We look forward to welcoming all students on August 18!
The elementary school is buzzing with activity as we welcome students for orientation days! Students are learning about "all things Metro" and meeting teachers, including Mr. W - the Music Man - and Ms. Wynter - our fabulous School Secretary!
The new Metro Elementary staff have been hard at work this week to prepare for the upcoming school year. They have been setting up classrooms, planning for Summer Bridge, collaborating with colleagues, and anxiously awaiting the arrival of students. Today's focus was on teaching foundational reading skills. We are excited for our new staff, new school and new families!

On the last Friday of the school year, students in the Warfield and Frase high school Advisories headed outside to leave encouraging messages between final exams. The middle school enjoyed a fun-filled field day, ending with the 8th grade celebration this afternoon.
Work crews will be on site the morning of Friday, May 23 to pave 19th Avenue in front of the Metro building. Parents driving students to school should expect to be re-routed to 20th Avenue to drop off students along the back of the building. Students should not be dropped off in the parking lot in front of Metro; they will be unable to walk across 19th.
For tomorrow's student drop off, we ask that everyone cooperate with our staff to ensure the quickest and smoothest process possible. Work should be completed in time for normal student pick-up in the afternoon.
