ACT Aspire Testing is Here!

ACT Aspire Testing is in full swing. The DVA students were on campus this past week to do their testing.

This coming week, MMS students will be taking the ACT Aspire Test.

On Test Day:

Make sure your child gets a good night's sleep and eats a healthy breakfast

Many teachers report that students who don't do well on tests haven't gotten enough sleep, and haven't eaten breakfast on the morning of the test. Doing both of these things will ensure that your child is working at full capacity (Narang, 2008).

Remain positive

Staying calm will help your child stay calm. If she gets nervous about the test or is likely to experience anxiety during the test, help her practice some relaxation techniques that she can try once she's taking the test (Narang, 2008).

It's Prom Week!

Tickets are reserved... Dresses are bought... Tuxes are rented... It's Time for Prom '21!

MHS students going to prom will receive their prom information packet on Monday.

Current COVID conditions will allow Mountainburg High School to host the Junior and Senior Prom. Students will be asked to wear or have a mask available at prom. Other safety measures that are mandated at the time of prom will be in place.

Per the current conditions, students will be allowed to dance at prom.

With prom being an optional event, students and their families can determine their comfort level in participating.

Spring is here and that means Dragon Baseball and Lady Dragon Softball! Come out and support these young men and women this season!

Game Schedule for 2021
Fans are asked to bring lawn chairs to games.
Being outside will be great, but we must continue to practice social distancing and wearing a mask when necessary.
