Hearing and Vision Screenings
Each year Cabot School District nurses screen students for hearing and vision as required by the state of Arkansas.
This year, screenings are planned for December 13-14 for Ward Central students.
Kindergarten, First, Second, and Fourth grade students will have Hearing/Vision screenings as well as any 3rd graders who are new to the district. If your student wears prescription glasses, please send them for the vision screening.

WC Affirmations
An affirmation is a positive statement that can help to challenge and overcome a person’s negative thoughts. When frequently repeated, they can become ingrained in our children’s minds, bodies, and hearts. Our students will begin to believe these attributes about themselves, and positive changes can happen. Self-esteem grows, kids are more confident, they work harder, and are more successful at school, home and the community.
This year, Ward Central will be using the same affirmation statements that we used last year. These statements can be found throughout the school ; they are posted on our school walls and students will hear them throughout the day. You can also say and repeat these affirmations with your student(s) as you bring them to and from school, as you’re having dinner, if your child is having a rough morning, really anytime.
