Carmel Elementary School

We know our Cougar community is anxiously awaiting a decision on whether or not schools will be open tomorrow (Wednesday, 9/11). Rest assured the District is closely monitoring the air quality and fire situations, and will notify everyone if schools will be closed. In the meantime, will you please join us in sending positive thoughts and prayers to all who are being directly impacted by these fires? Firefighters, EMS personnel, police/Sheriff officers, military/National Guard, evacuees, evacuation center staff...The Carmel Cougars are thinking of you! <3 #CarmelCougars #YouAreALEADer #IMPACTtheFutureHUSD

This Wednesday, 9/11, is Patriot Day. Please have your Cougar kiddo come to school in red, white, and blue to honor and remember those who lost their lives on 9/11/01. #CarmelCougars #YouAreALEADer #IMPACTtheFutureHUSD #PatriotDay2024

Due to improving conditions and the current Air Quality Management District level of "Moderate", the Hesperia Unified School District plans to hold normal school hours tomorrow, Monday 9/9/24. Schools will modify events to limit outside activities. The District will announce if any further changes are required.

We had our first House event of the school year this morning and it was oh so much fun!! This is one of the many ways that we work together to build community, strengthen relationships, and show our leadership skills at Carmel! Thank you to our House planning team for such a great start to our Friday, and to all of our Cougars for bringing their House spirit! #CarmelCougars #YouAreALEADer #IMPACTtheFutureHUSD

In Miss Weedon’s class, our third grade Cougars learned about Geographic features. The students were assigned a landform to research with their group. Then they made posters and presented their landforms! We are so proud of them and all of their hard work! #CarmelCougars #YouAreALEADer #IMPACTtheFutureHUSD

We all worry sometimes! After reading Alma and the Worry Stone, Mrs. Oggs third graders made their own worry stones to help when something worrisome is on their minds.
