Some of the dates were listed incorrectly and we have attached the corrected versions of those documents (one in English and one in Spanish) that you can view, print, etc. We apologize for any confusion the previous release may have caused. Thanks to everyone who helped make this calendar (and these revisions/translations) possible!

Reminder: the clinic will be closed for spring break from March 15th to March 22nd. Also as it turns out CABUN (the company we work with) is closed March 19th for good friday. We will resume services Monday April 1st.

HopeBot 7th & 8th graders wrapped up their competition and Team Ghostface is bringing home the Arkansas Robotics State Championship Create Award! They also made the final rounds in the Teamwork Challenge and finished out the year ranked 10th out of 140+ teams! The Create Award is presented to the team whose robot design incorporates a creative engineering solution to the design challenges of the season’s game. We are so proud of both teams that competed yesterday and can’t wait to see what our FOUR 5th & 6th grade teams accomplish today!

Dr. Crossley subbed for  Ms. Lisa Vaughn at HAPS today. He says, "I enjoyed assisting Ms. Marks in the front office. Lots of smiling faces and great vibes the week before Spring Break. They did a great job of keeping me on track!"

Testing Tips: Arrive at school on time each day; prior to 7:50 a.m. Try to avoid appointments during the week of testing so that your child can complete his/her testing sessions. Try to make sure that your child is present each day of testing to avoid having to do make-up testing. Try to avoid screen time the week of testing prior to bedtime. Make bedtime early so that your child can get a good night's rest. Make sure your child gets a good night's sleep each night. If your child eats breakfast at school, have him/her there early to ensure getting to class on time. Encourage your child to do his/her best each day because testing is very important.
