The summer is a great time to get together with distant relatives, and it's always exciting when they come around to visit! Encourage your child to show off their newfound reading skills by reading to a relative or retelling a story from memory! 📖

Good afternoon 5th grade parents,
One of our teachers had a medical emergency in the classroom this afternoon before dismissal. Other teachers and staff along with our counselor and myself removed the students from the class and into another room. We stayed with the students assisting them until dismissal time. Our focus was not only on the teacher but the students as well. Mrs. Shelton will be available next week as needed for our students. If you have any questions please call me at 501-447-2700.
Thank you,
Mrs., Kirkpatrick
Good afternoon Eagle Families,
Near dismissal time today we had a staff member who had a medical emergency. The emergency personnel were called. As the staff member was our top priority and the well-being of our students, we made the decision to delay the bell until the medical personal left campus. The school counselor and staff members assisted students as needed. I appreciate all the staff who pitched in and were there for our students. If you have any concerns or questions please reach out to me at 501-447-2700.
Mrs. Kirkpatrick
