Yesterday, Metcalfe had our first school-wide S.T.E.A.M. Wednesday! These take place on the last Wednesday of each month. This month, 4th grade built various structures out of objects found around the house. Check out the creativity of our 4th grade scholars!

The School Board voted to approve the state's Uniform Assessment Calendar for the 2025-2026 school year. A copy of the approved calendar has been placed on our school website.

It's time for our beginning of the year assessments! Parents and Guardians, be sure to have your students to school on time for breakfast and get a lot of rest so they are ready to perform their best!

Early release Wednesdays start August 13 at all elementary schools and High Springs Community School, A. Quinn Jones School, Sidney Lanier School and Duval Early Learning Academy. Specific school hours are available at alachuaschools.net/schoolhours
