Overdale Elementary School

One more day to shop our spring Book Fair!

Big shoutout to Mrs. Stevenson for utilizing Snorkl to provide AI-powered feedback on iReady math exit slips. By giving students instant praise and capturing their voice in real-time, she identified misconceptions early, meaning our MTSS re-teach groups are already set for tomorrow.

Last week, our Overdale Mustangs had an amazing time with Look Out For The Left Out! 💙

Students learned how to have Open Eyes, Open Hearts, and Open Hands to show kindness, and make sure no one feels left out. We are so proud of the way our Mustangs continue to look out for one another and build a school where everyone feels welcome and valued. 🐴✨

Take a look at some highlights from this special day! #OverdalePride #MustangStrong
