Our students are putting their Critical Thinking skills to the test building awesome Marble Runs! This hands-on project is helping them see how uphill and downhill forces affect motion in the real world. Talk about applying what you learn!
Our Academic Team students are already striving for Excellence for All! In a recent practice, they took their learning to the next level, using judge score sheets to critique and provide real feedback to one another. Big thanks to our dedicated volunteers for helping make this hands-on, growth-focused practice possible! They're demonstrating incredible Work Ethic and will only grow from here.
Mrs. Maggard's 1st grade class finished reading the decodable, "The Bug Glass," and then they became real-life scientists!
The students put their Critical Thinking and Work Ethic skills to the test as they went on a "buggy" exploration with magnifying glasses in hand! They were so joyful and engaged as they observed and learned about our tiny, fascinating friends.
This hands-on learning helps prepare our students to embrace challenges and discover their passions!

We want to send a huge, heartfelt thank you to the Rosenwald-Dunbar Elementary PTO and all our incredible RDES families for providing a wonderful Hydration Station for our staff this October! Knowing our families care for us keeps our faculty and staff feeling energized and appreciated!
Did you know that learning to be responsible is a key part of our Graduate Profile? Even our youngest students are building this important skill! Responsibility means taking ownership, being dependable, and making wise choices. Join us in celebrating Marley for demonstrating responsibility daily!
Look at these amazing first graders comparing and contrasting similar stories from different cultures! Ms. Carlstedt’s class used a Venn diagram to find what was the same and what was different in their reading. They’re developing their Critical Thinking skills by solving complex problems—in and out of the classroom!
Shout out to our amazing 4th-grade student, Logan Osborne, for being a phenomenal Critical Thinker! Being a critical thinker means being open-minded and using what you learn to create new solutions. Keep up the great work and keep being innovative, Logan! 🎉
We had a joyful and engaging Pumpkin Day last week in Mrs. Fitch's 2nd Grade class! 🎃🧡 Our students were busy Critical Thinkers and Connected Citizens as they worked on a variety of hands-on activities that tied right into our second-grade standards.
We extend a huge thank you to our incredible JCS bus drivers and monitors! You are the true heroes who ensure our students get to and from school safely every single day.
Last week, during National School Bus Safety Week, our wonderful PTO showed their appreciation with a special delivery of Starbucks and donuts. It was a small token for a truly monumental job. Your commitment to safely transporting our future leaders demonstrates the Caring and Trustworthy spirit that makes our school family so strong.
Thank you for everything you do!

Look at these future engineers in action! Our fourth-grade students were hard at work applying the engineering design process to a fun, challenging problem: creating the longest paper chain with a limited amount of materials. Talk about a test of Critical Thinking and Work Ethic!
Shout out to Leo for consistently living the Graduate Profile! His initiative in improving his surroundings exemplifies true Responsibility. He doesn't wait to be told; he takes ownership and is dependable.
More than that, this is Connected Citizenship in action —demonstrating how our students bring value to the community and make a positive impact on our school. Way to go, Leo!

Say CHEESE! 📸 Just a reminder that tomorrow is Picture Day for all our students!
Look at this amazing 1st grader demonstrating all the traits of a future Jessamine County Schools graduate!
From showing Work Ethic (grit and a "get it done" attitude) and being Responsible (taking ownership) to being a Connected Citizen (collaborative and community-minded), a successful Communicator (empathetic and open), and a Critical Thinker (a problem-solver)!
We are so proud to see our students living the Graduate Profile Pledge!

Fueling up and building friendships! Great conversations and good food with friends make for a perfect lunchtime. Lunch is better with your crew!
Vertebrates or Invertebrates? That's the question in Miss Ludt's 3rd grade today! 🤔 These Responsible Communicators are working hard to master their animal groups.

Miss Ludt's 3rd graders are rocking their animal science review! 🦁🐦🐠 They're using their amazing Critical Thinking skills to compare and contrast different animal groups, getting ready to ace their assessment. It's awesome to see their Work Ethic shine as they prepare for success! Keep up the great work, class!
Get ready to sink your teeth into science! 🦈 Miss Preston's third graders were Critical Thinkers as they explored the anatomy of a shark with a hands-on dissection!
This incredible, real-world experience is a perfect example of the Excellence for All we strive for at RDES, helping our students discover their passions and prepare for future success. They embraced the challenge, asked great questions, and gained a whole new understanding of marine life!
