Dragon Weekly
Week of October 19
There is Always Something Great Happening at Mountainburg Schools!
If you have students enrolled in Mountainburg Schools, onsite or in the Dragon Virtual Academy, and you are not receiving texts, phone calls, or emails from the school (and plenty of each has been sent out), please contact the appropriate campus office(s) to make sure the information that is in E-School is correct.
Communication is paramount between the schools, the family, and the community.
PARENT-TEACHER CONFERENCES
Mountainburg Middle School and Mountainburg High School
Mountainburg Elementary
BE Happy, BE Free, BE a Drug Free Dragon!
- MMS and MHS students will be having a class competition to see which class can get the most commitment signatures to be drug-free on their class poster.
- MMS and MHS students will also be doing a daily reading that is chosen by the English teachers. Students will be encouraged to write what the theme, BE Happy, BE Free, BE a Drug-Free Dragon! means to them.
This is a great time for parents to talk to their children about what being drug-free means.
DRAGON HEALTH AND WELLNESS
Opioid abuse is now the leading cause of accidental deaths in the United States with one in five high school seniors reporting that they have misused prescription drugs
Children of parents who talk to their teens regularly about drugs are 42% less likely to use drugs than those who don’t; yet, only a quarter of teens report having these conversations.
