We will be mailing your child(ren)'s teacher and information regarding the open house soon. Please understand that we have rules to follow during our outdoor open house. We have submitted a plan and we are currently waiting on approval from the Arkansas Department of Health. We ask that you adhere to the rules and timelines printed in our invitation so that all students can see their teacher.
We will use the SeeSaw program for communication in Pre-K-2nd grade. Google Classroom will be used for communication with parents and students in 3rd-5th grades. When you receive your letter, please sign up for the appropriate google classroom and/or SeeSaw classroom. There you will find a video tour of your child's classroom and a message from the teacher.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
B.Y.E. Merchandise New B.Y.E. Merchandise is here!!!!! Purchase a PTA membership while you are getting ready for the 20-21 spirit days. Pre-orders ONLY! We will have very little extra inventory. | The First Day of School The 1st day of school will look different this year. For safety reasons, we are limiting the number of extra people in our building. Parents will not be walking students to their classrooms. We will give each student a card/note/sticker to bring in the first day of school so that we can help your child find their classroom. On the first few days we will have teachers outside meeting the little ones to guide them to their room. | Counselor Corner Check out a short story from Conscious Discipline about why we are wearing masks. This book may be useful for the little ones before we begin school. |
