Red Ribbon Week

As we start Red Ribbon Week, we invite you to join us in promoting a drug-free lifestyle and fostering healthy habits among our students. This annual event, celebrated nationwide from Oct. 28th-Nov. 1st, is a powerful reminder of the importance of making positive choices.

Students can show their support by wearing red or participating in themed dress-up days.

How You Can Help:

Discuss the Importance: Talk with your child about the significance of Red Ribbon Week and the impact of drugs on individuals and communities.
Lead by Example: Share your own experiences and choices regarding health and wellness.
Participate: Join us in the week’s activities and encourage your child to take part.

Let’s work together to inspire our children to live healthy, fulfilling lives free from the pressures of drugs and alcohol. Thank you for your continued support in creating a positive environment for our students!

Items to Remember:

Want to eat lunch with your child? We have a limited number of seats, so you are required to call the office to reserve a specific date and spot. 501.888.4262
Please try and send all lunch and snacks with your student in the morning rather than bring to the office for us to deliver.

You MUST have your student car tag in order to pick up your child. (Handbook-pg.68)
You can purchase ONE additional car tag in the office for $1.00.
Parents must stay in their vehicle in the carline. We have staff to assist students. When stopped, students should open their car door and have all items ready to get out in the morning. If you have a child safety lock on your door, please ask for help opening the door.
When staff start to close the morning gate at 8am, we will not re-open it. You must check your student in the front office after 8am.
For the afternoon carline, we encourage you to work on your child buckling themselves. If they cannot, please pull up to the front parking lot after they get into your vehicle to buckle them. This helps our carline work more efficiently.
If at all possible, please have your student's car seat on the passenger side. It is safer for staff and students if all students enter and exit the vehicle from the passenger side.
