Word of the Month: Perseverance
Dear Parents and Students,
This month, we focus on the word "perseverance." Perseverance is the steadfastness in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success. It is an essential quality that helps individuals overcome challenges and reach their goals.
For students, embracing perseverance means understanding that setbacks are a natural part of learning. It encourages them to keep trying, even when things get tough. As parents, you can support this by celebrating efforts rather than just outcomes, reinforcing the idea that persistence leads to growth and success.
Let’s work together to foster a culture of perseverance in our school community. Encourage your children to set goals, face challenges head-on, and remember that every step forward, no matter how small, is a step towards success.

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.
Peake has a new Parent Resource Center! Check it out to find helpful information.
Ms. Hurst and Mrs. Newman would like to remind everyone that students must wear PE appropriate shoes on their PE day.
Appropriate shoes are: shoes with laces, Velcro, or elastic straps.
Boots, slip on shoes, Hey, Dudes, Jelly sandals/shoes, slides, sandals, crocs, dress shoes, shoes with a heel, and flip flops are not appropriate footwear on PE days.
To ensure the safety of all of our students, those without appropriate footwear will not be able to participate in that day's PE activity.
Please call if you have any questions. (870) 246-2260
