Last spring, Arkansas students in grades 3-10 took the ATLAS state test, or Arkansas Teaching & Learning Assessment System. The ATLAS Family Portal helps parents and students understand their results and access scores. It provides an overall score, insights into essential skills, and subject-by-subject performance, making it easy to see strengths and areas for improvement. Resources are available to support learning at home and facilitate discussions with teachers. Parents can also download the Individualized Score Report to bring to conferences. Students will bring home an access code to view scores. More on ATLAS: https://tinyurl.com/DESE-Information Access scores: https://tinyurl.com/ATLAS-Results

School starts at 7:55 AM, Tuesday through Friday. Students must be in class by that time, not just arriving in the parking lot. Punctuality is crucial for success, and arriving early helps students prepare for learning. Late arrivals often miss important announcements and take longer to settle into lessons. For Intermediate and Primary students, arrival after 7:55 AM but before 8:25 AM counts as tardy. Two tardies equal one-half day of unexcused absence. Secondary students with repeated 1st-period tardiness face consequences: Saturday School on the third offense and In-School Suspension (ISS) after the sixth. Arriving early helps avoid these penalties. If a student exceeds ten unexcused absences in a semester, the District will notify authorities, and the parent or guardian may face a civil penalty. Arriving on time supports both your child's learning and others in the classroom. Establishing routines is essential for success, and punctuality is a valuable life skill. If you face challenges with punctuality, please notify the school office or reach out to discuss assistance.
