Dear Parents and Guardians,

As we approach the end of the school year, we want to emphasize how important it is for students to be present and on time each day—especially during end-of-year testing. These assessments provide valuable insight into your child's growth and help guide instruction for the upcoming school year.

To help your child do their best, please ensure they get a good night's sleep, eat a healthy breakfast, and arrive at school on time. We also kindly ask that you avoid scheduling appointments during testing days. While make-up testing is available, students rarely perform as well outside their regular classroom environment and away from their familiar teacher.

Thank you for your continued support in helping your child succeed!

Field Day is coming in May. Make sure to get your Field Day class shirt! The order form was sent home yesterday or today (4/8). Each class will have a specific color, so if you have students in multiple grades/classes, fill out a separate form for each student! If you need, the order form is linked HERE. This form can be printed, but not edited online.

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.
