REMINDER: Parent Teacher Conferences TODAY (Thursday, March 14)!

This past weekend, Mr. McCrary took Yerger students Fernando Perez and Anthony Orosco to the FFA Greenhand Conference which was held at Camp Couchdale in Hot Springs. Mr. McCrary says, "They learned a lot about FFA and had leadership activities." The students identify personal interests and characteristics, build self-confidence through establishing healthy habits, engage in conversations of empathy to discover the importance of diversity and inclusion. They also met with agricultural industry experts and enthusiasts. #GoBobcats #ALLIN #HopeForTheFuture

This past weekend, Hope Public Schools held the 2024 Magnet Fair for students to check out all the options they have at Yerger, Beryl Henry and HAPS. Students at those schools flew drones, put on singing performances, demonstrated robotics, and more! There was a great turn out! Thanks to all the students, teachers, and parents for coming out to the event! #GoBobcats #ALLIN #HopeForTheFuture

Just in case you did not get a chance to attend the Magnet Expo on March 9th, here are the three robots Yerger's Mr. Molloy was showcasing as part of his expo table. As part of the Project Lead The Way classes offered at Yerger, students in Automation and Robotics class learn how to build and code robots, how robotics impact the world around us, and they explore real-world careers (and address real-world problems) that exist in the world of robotics and automation.

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.
