DT Cox Elementary School Home

(11/13) A HUGE thank-you to Pontotoc Junior Auxiliary for donating treasure boxes filled with exciting prizes for our Positive Office Referrals! These special surprises help us celebrate students who make positive choices, show kindness, and go above and beyond. We are so grateful for your generosity and for helping us recognize our Little Warriors!

(11/13) Students combined STEM and PE in a fun, hands-on activity called Jump the River! After watching a short video about a village whose river became too wide to cross after a storm, students put their jumping skills to the test. When they could no longer jump across the river, they had to use creativity and problem-solving skills to design another way to get across. Students then drew their village on poster board, illustrated their solution, and wrote about why they chose that method. This activity encouraged teamwork, critical thinking, creativity, and engineering skills while incorporating physical activity!

(11/13) Today, we were reminded of the power of kindness and the difference one person can make! A special thank-you to former Peer Helper, Malley Chase Faulkner, for sharing her experiences, journey, and words of encouragement with our students. We are so grateful she took the time to inspire our Little Warriors!
Our Peer Helpers also spread a little extra kindness throughout the building by delivering kindness bracelets to students and staff!
A little kindness goes a LONG way! Let's keep spreading it!

(11/13) We wrapped up our week of celebrating our SUPER staff with even more treats! Thursday, our teachers enjoyed a delicious catered lunch from Ollie Rose, and Friday we popped into the weekend with a fun popcorn bar!
From Hulk-inspired cupcakes to friendly competitions, superhero capes, a delicious lunch, and popcorn, it has been a week full of fun and appreciation!
Earning an A rating is no small feat, and we couldn't be prouder of our teachers and staff who work hard every day to make DTC an INCREDIBLE place for our students to learn and grow!

It takes a SUPER team to make SUPER things happen, and DTC is full of SUPERHEROES!

(11/12) Congratulations to the following students for receiving positive office referrals this week. Keep up the good work!

(11/12) Ms. Jones’ class has been learning all about pollution and how it affects our Earth! Students created land or ocean scenes in shoeboxes and added trash to show the effects of pollution on our environment. Such a fun, hands-on way to learn about keeping our planet clean!

(11/11) Today, Mrs. Bryant's 3rd graders used Cheez-Its to explore AREA! They practiced finding the area of rectangles by covering them with Cheez-Its, counting square units, and using multiplication to find the total area!
Who knew math could be so CHEESY and delicious?!
Learning is always better with a little crunch!

(11/11) Our fourth graders proudly represented DT Cox this morning by marching in the Veterans Day parade and sharing their voices in song. They also created special posters to honor the veterans who hold a special place in their hearts.
We are proud of our students and grateful for the opportunity to honor the brave men and women who have served our country. Today and every day, we thank our veterans for their courage, sacrifice, and service! 🇺🇸

(11/11) Last school year, our DTC students and staff worked together to achieve an A rating on our state assessments! This incredible accomplishment is worth celebrating, and this week we are showing our staff just how SUPER they are!
The celebration has been off to an INCREDIBLE start!
Monday, our teachers enjoyed Hulk-inspired cupcakes to remind them just how incredible they are! Tuesday, things got competitive with our “A” Web of Excellence Pyramid Cup Challenge. Congratulations to our four winners: Mrs. Brown, Ms. Camron, Mrs. Bryant, and Mr. Bailey! And Wednesday, our SUPER staff showed off their superhero spirit by wearing capes because not all superheroes wear capes... but today, DTC did!
We are SO proud of our staff and all they do to make DTC a SUPER place to learn! Our greatest superpower is working together!
