What's Happening at Peake...

Badgers on the Run!

Badgers on the Run is made up of students, who signed up back in November, as a partnership with Little Rockers Kids Marathon group. These students meet every Wednesday and Thursday after school to run at least one mile. This spirited team is about fitness, fun and friendship. We have over 100 students from grades 1st -6th committed to cover 25.2 miles at school.

On March 1st, they will run their final mile to complete their marathon, where they will earn their well-deserved medals. Let’s continue to encourage and cheer on these students as they work to complete their goal. Thanks to our parents, administrators, sponsors and dedicated volunteers for all your support!

Dyslexia Resources

Dyslexia is a specific learning disability that is neurobiological in origin. It is characterized by difficulties with accurate and/or fluent word recognition and by poor spelling and decoding abilities. These difficulties typically result from a deficit in the phonological component of language that is often unexpected in relation to other cognitive abilities and the provision of effective classroom instruction. Secondary consequences may include problems in reading experience that can impede growth of vocabulary and background knowledge.

Arkadelphia School District utilizes the Barton Reading and Spelling Program and Take Flight: A Comprehensive Intervention for Students with Dyslexia by Scottish Rite for Children to provide intervention for students exhibiting the characteristics of Dyslexia.
