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.

Start Date: Classes begin Monday, August 11.

Early Release

Classes will dismiss each Monday ONE HOUR early for teacher and support staff collaboration and training. Boys & Girls Club will be available for after-school care on these early release days.

Monday Breaks

There are 10 Mondays when school is not in session for professional development, holidays, or short breaks.

We hope these dates will provide opportunities for doctor visits, family time, or travel. If you need assistance with child care on these full Mondays when school in not in session, please respond to the brief request through the link below so we can determine need and options.

Missed Days

The calendar and schedule allow for 7 days of closures, and then alternate dates for days 8-13 in the event of excessive closures due to weather, illness, etc.

Little League Football/Cheer sign ups begin today! The payment link will be posted soon. If you have any questions please email amber.ridenoure@mountainburg.org. Information and registration form is available by click on the button below.

Open to students in Pre-K through 6th Grade
