At Pike Road Elementary, we believe every student deserves to be heard, and that includes our learners who use Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) devices. These tools are powerful, giving non-verbal or minimally verbal students a way to express their needs, thoughts, and ideas. Here’s why AAC matters in our classrooms: 🔑 Communication is Key: AAC devices give students the ability to communicate, just like their peers. Whether it’s asking for help, sharing a story, or participating in class, these devices unlock their voices. 🗣️ Promoting Inclusion: Using AAC ensures that all students are fully included in classroom discussions and activities. Everyone deserves the opportunity to participate, no matter how they communicate. 💡 Building Confidence: With AAC, students learn that their ideas and contributions matter. When they are empowered to communicate, they gain confidence in themselves and their abilities. 👫 Creating Connections: When students are able to communicate with their peers, it strengthens relationships and builds a more supportive, understanding community in our school. At Pike Road Elementary, we celebrate every voice. Our AAC learners have so much to say, and we are here to support them every step of the way. 💙 Together, we ensure every voice is heard! 🎉 #PikeRoadElementary #AACAwareness #EveryVoiceMatters #InclusiveEducation #SpecialEducation #WeArePikeRoad






Congratulations to our 2024 Pike Road Schools Homecoming Float Winners!






We would like to highlight two of our very own special educators who not only presented at the conference AT Alabama, but had a packed house educating other special education educators throughout Alabama.
They spoke to educators and other professionals about how we used assistive technology in our school at PRES both low tech and high tech devices.
Additionally, the session aimed to equip special education teachers with the knowledge and skills to effectively implement assistive technology in their classrooms. Participants learned about various types of assistive technology, practical implementation strategies, and real-life examples.
We are so thankful to have lead learners that inspires our learners, colleagues, and other professionals throughout the state. Job well done Mrs. Ellis and Mrs. Mitchell 🔴🔵⚪️

Congratulations Beau Perez!!!
Patriot Promises that he exemplified: Honor, Quality, Contribution, Ownership
Beau was nominated by his lead learner Mrs. Perdue!
“Beau is always doing the right thing even when he thinks so one is looking. He helps the peers at his table if they get behind on work. Beau is always looking for ways to make a difference. This can be picking up trash off the floor he see while we are in the hallway, opening the door for others, making sure no one is left behind on the way to recess, and even keeping his table clean. Beau is a very bright child with a sweet heart. I am very proud to have him in my class this year and I know he will continue to impress and amaze each teacher he has when he walks into their room.”
