Deer Point Elementary School

Deer Point Elementary School Where students and staff are hooked on learning! Welcome to Deer Point Elementary School.

We are excited to have you as part of our school family and encourage you to join us by becoming actively involved in creating a positive learning environment and celebrating our success along the way. There are many opportunities in which you may become involved: A-FIT (Angler-Family Involvement Team), SAC (School Advisory Council), and volunteering in classrooms or with special projects…we love

our volunteers! Believing that all of our students will be a success, we will focus on learning for all, student safety, responsibility, and respect. Together we can make the difference for the students who attend Deer Point Elementary School. We will work to develop model citizens through the use of Positive Behavior Support (PBS) and our school-wide expectations. CAST is a school wide acronym for Control yourself, Act respectfully, Show citizenship and Take responsibility. We are ready to prove it…we are excited to have the opportunity to show it…and we are confident in our collective abilities.

Next up on our Angler Alumni Spotlight is Ruby Tilghman! Ruby is the reigning Miss Birmingham and will be competing this week for the title of Miss Alabama! She recently graduated from the University of Alabama and has been accepted into and will be attending their prestigious medical school as well. We are so proud of Ruby and how she continues to make her mark on the world, leaving everything and every one better than she found them. We cannot wait to see what this weekend holds, but she will always be the queen of our hearts! Once an Angler, always an Angler! 💙💚🎣

Now that summer is here, we want to take some time to recognize a few of our Angler Alumni who are continuing to Cast for Excellence!
Today’s spotlight is Zoe Walker who was chosen as the class of 2026 recipient for our Angler Alumni Scholarship. She wrote eloquently about how she continues to use the Habits in her life. She also shared words of wisdom with our 5th graders during their end of year awards ceremony and gave them guidance on navigating the years of middle and high school ahead.

Zoe is now on her way to Gulf Coast State College to pursue a degree in nursing. We are so excited to see what is ahead for her! Congratulations Zoe! Once an Angler, always an Angler! 💙💚🎣

At Deer Point and across our district, it’s all about setting high expectations and working hard to achieve academic goals! This year, Mr. Van Dixon’s fifth grade class made a deal with him about their class goals: if the class averaged 80% or higher for all THREE FAST tests, Mr. V. would wear a tutu, a tiara, and dye his beard pink. 🎀👑😂

Well… the students DID IT! Their hard work, determination, and perseverance paid off, and today Mr. Van Dixon proudly celebrated their success with a little public humiliation. As Mr. V. said, “It was well worth it if the kids were motivated and reached their goals!” Please help us celebrate these amazing students and the hard work they put in all year long. We are so proud of them! 🎉📚

Thanks Mr. V for being such a good sport and for encouraging our Anglers to aim high and meet their goals! 💙💚🎣

Today was National Speech Language Pathologist Day and we could not let the day go by without saying a HUGE thank you to our Speech Club! These amazing educators go above and beyond every day for our Anglers and we could never put into words how much they are appreciated and loved by everyone who has the pleasure to work with them. Thanks for all that you do Mrs. DeVito, Mrs. Tilghman, and Mrs Stettler! 💙💚🎣
(As you can tell by their “Family Photo” they are always ready to share a laugh and bring on the fun and we wouldn’t have it any other way!”

Our 4th grade Anglers decided to go Greek for the day with a Toga Party and Olympic Games! They had javelin throws, foot races and even chariot races! Our friends at Taziki’s even helped to coordinate with parents and teachers to provide some authentic Greek food for the event.
Check out their photos and those cool shields they made with the chomp saws yesterday!
Thank you to our 4th grade team for organizing this fun day of celebration and learning for our Anglers! 💙💚🎣🏅
