WALKER STUDENTS ARE EXCITED TO SHARE THEIR LEARNING PLANS!

It's time for Student-Involved Conferences to discuss your child's progress. Please fill out the paper sent home in your child's Friday folder with your preferred conference times. We will do our best to accommodate your requests and to schedule sibling conferences together. If evening slots don’t work for you, please let us know if daytime slots are more convenient. It is important that students attend the conference with their parents to review goals and progress.

Please return the form by September 3rd. You will receive your confirmed conference time on September 6th. Thank you for your partnership in your child’s education.

Drive safe.

Stay alert, slow down.

Be aware of your surroundings.

Watch for pedestrians in crosswalks.

Follow all drop-off and pick-up procedures.

Cell phone use is prohibited in school zones by Arkansas law.

Please make sure your vehicle does not block any driveways while waiting in the Walker car line and leave space in front of the Walker driveway for buses to exit safely. Arkansas law prohibits blocking driveways except in emergencies. Thank you for helping keep traffic flow safe and efficient!
