Due to a winter storm watch issued by the National Weather Service, all District Five Schools and offices will be closed on Friday, January 10. ❄️ Friday, January 10 will be an e-Learning day for all District Five students. 💻 This decision was made in the best interest of safety for all D5 students and staff, as snow, sleet and ice is predicted by late Friday morning, and roads will likely be unsafe for buses, families or student drivers to travel 🚌❄️🚗
Teachers will be in touch with students regarding all e-Learning assignments 📚📝. All after school and weekend activities are also canceled.📆
We appreciate your patience and understanding, as safety is always our top priority in District Five! #WeAreD5


How sweet is this?! ❤️ Mrs. Morgan’s first graders at Abner Creek Academy celebrated each other by telling how their family spends the holidays. 🎄 Their class represents 7 other countries and various states. The students researched traditions from where their family originates and did a presentation. 🎤 Their presentation was a #magnetmoment with Abner Creek’s communication and leadership focus. They were able to present to administration, various staff members, and fellow students 💙💚 Way to go, Gators! #WeAreD5
