Parents, be on the lookout for athletic physical paperwork getting sent home next Monday and Tuesday. If you would like your student to receive a free physical through the Bobcat Clinic, all paperwork must be completed and returned to the student's campus nurse by Thursday, April 4th. Any questions should be directed to your child's campus nurse by calling that school.

The Bobcat Clinic will not have physical health services on Friday, March 29. Please also be aware that CABUN Clinics will be closed that day for Good Friday. If you have questions about the Bobcat Clinic, please call (870) 722-2733. #GoBobcats #ALLIN #HopeForTheFuture

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.
