🐣 HANDS-ON LEARNING AT J.E. RHODES! 🐥
There are some exciting new additions at J.E. Rhodes Elementary — CHICKENS! 🐔❤️
Our first-grade classes are bringing science to life with a hands-on study of the life cycle of a chicken! As part of their first-grade TEKS, students are getting an up-close look at the different stages of the life cycle and making real-world connections to what they’re learning in the classroom.
There’s nothing quite like watching learning come to life — especially when it’s this cute! 🐣
We love seeing our youngest Vandals observe, discover, ask questions, and LEARN!

✏️Come hang out with us at Parent Night!
You will get to hear from your child’s teacher about our daily routines, systems, and all the exciting things happening this year! It’s a great way to see how our school runs, and how we can partner together to make it an awesome year for your child.
Have children in multiple classes or buildings? No worries! Drop your children off at their respective playgrounds for childcare, then choose one classroom to attend the full presentation. Since we are one school in two buildings, most of the information will be the same across classrooms! Afterward, you can stop by your other children’s classrooms to pick up an information packet, ask any quick questions, and learn about any classroom-specific details you may have missed.

❤️📚 WELCOME BACK, VANDALS! 📚❤️
There is just something special about the first day of school! ✏️🍎
Today, the energy returned to our hallways, classrooms, cafeterias, playgrounds, and campuses as we officially kicked off the 2026–2027 school year! 🎉
From first-day hugs and new friendships to familiar faces, excited teachers, and students ready to learn, there are already so many wonderful things happening across Van ISD. ❤️
But more than anything, today we are reminded of what a privilege it is to do what we do.
Every child who walks through our doors has been entrusted to our care, and we are incredibly thankful for each and every one of them. It is an honor to teach them, encourage them, challenge them, cheer for them, and watch them grow throughout the year. 🚌📚✏️🎨🎶🏈
We are equally grateful for the families and community who trust and support us along the way. Serving the students and families of Vandal Land is a privilege we never take for granted. ❤️
It's a GREAT day to be a Vandal! ❤️
