Week 23: LEARNS Update

Bearcat Wrap-up Podcast ·

2023/02/17

Happy Friday!Thank you for all you have done this week to help us reach our district goals. We should have an update on our on-level reading percentage by next Tuesday’s board meeting to accompany the other data we are tracking and I look forward to sharing that with everyone soon. As we learn more about the LEARNS plan, it is apparent that our grade-level reading will be a very important part of our work for years to come; so, I will get right to the subject at hand for this week’s Wrap-up.Arkansas

2023/02/10

Happy Friday!Thank you for all you have done this week to help us accomplish our district goals! Of course, with school being closed four days last week, not much changed. But, we are glad to have had another full week of school for the spring semester and take further steps toward a great outcome for the year. On the bright side of last week’s closure, our absenteeism went down another two-tenths of a percent. In this week’s Wrap-up, I will write about the LEARNS initiative, address a new student

Week 21: The Winter Season, Part 2

2023/02/03

Happy Friday!Thank you for your patience as we were day-to-day this week in determining whether or not to have school. I know this left some of you in a lurch because you travel more than a few miles to get to work every day. I want to thank those who came in each day that could to take care of various chores and check out the buildings. Other than the inability to continue student learning, no other problems arose from this winter storm.The week’s Wrap-up will have very little in it regarding the

2023/01/27

Happy Friday!I want to begin by thanking our transportation department, especially all drivers, who struggled through the snow on Tuesday to get our students safely delivered home! Several of our staff members were out until after 5 pm Tuesday rescuing buses stuck in the snow: James Davis, Shane Torix, Danny Minton, Justin Head, Jason Hendrix, Josh Starr, and Alicia Moody. I want to thank all of them for what they did. I also want to recognize the work that Alicia Moody has done in learning and

2023/01/20

Happy Friday!Thanks for all you have done this week to improve our district goals. Of the three goals we have, we are making strides in two areas of emphasis - behavior, and reading. Attendance is still lagging. We reported these results to the board at Wednesday night’s meeting and you may read more details in the board minutes that Mr. Hobson released yesterday. The spring semester is well underway and so is our 94th General Assembly of legislators in Little Rock. I would like to use this Wrap-up

Bearcat Wrap-up Podcast ·

2022/12/09

Happy Friday!I sincerely thank you for everything you have done this week to educate our students despite some really rare and harsh distractions. I especially want to thank our security and law enforcement members for leading us through multiple bomb threats earlier this week without incident. Last year, on Wednesday, November 17th, there was a bomb threat made at the high school and there were two major differences in results from last year to this year: one, there was much less communication

Happy Friday!Thank you for everything you have done this week to educate, discipline, deliver, and organize our students! We are already through the first quarter of the 22-23 school year and seem to be going in a very positive direction. I especially want to mention the staff attendance this week. It was very good. In fact, yesterday there was only one classroom teacher out with a sub for grades K through 5, and most of our secondary teachers out were for school business, which means they were
