Dragon Weekly

Welcome back, Mountainburg students!

The 2025-2026 school year is here, and it’s time to step into a year of new adventures, challenges, and endless opportunities! This year promises to be filled with growth, learning, and the chance to make memories that will last a lifetime. Whether you’re returning as a seasoned student or joining us for the first time, we’re excited to see the energy and spirit you bring to our Mountainburg family.

Remember, every challenge you face is an opportunity to grow, and every success, big or small, is a step toward becoming the best version of yourself. Let’s support each other, embrace the journey, and make this year our best one yet!

Together, we’ll make it a year to remember. Let’s go Mountainburg!

Important Update: Arkansas Act 122 (“Bell to Bell, No Cell” – effective 2025‑26)

Starting with the 2025–2026 school year, all public school students in Arkansas are required by state law to follow a “Bell to Bell, No Cell” policy.

What this means:

• No use of personal electronic devices (phones, smartwatches, earbuds, tablets, laptops, etc.) is allowed from the first bell to the last, across all school areas—classrooms, hallways, cafeteria, restrooms, and more .

• Act 122 aims to reduce distractions and foster a more focused, academic environment during school hours.

We’re excited to welcome our Dragons back for the 2025–2026 school year on Monday, August 11! As we get ready to kick off a great year, we want to remind everyone to be extra cautious on the roads.

Please watch for school buses, students walking, and school zone speed limits.
Let’s all do our part to keep our students safe as they travel to and from school!

Here’s to a great year ahead!
