Dragon Weekly
Week of September 21 - 25
Celebrating Progress in Mountainburg!
The Arkansas Department of Education has released the latest school letter grades, and we are proud to recognize the progress being made across the Mountainburg School District!
- Mountainburg Elementary School: Moved from a C to a B
- Mountainburg Middle School: Moved from a D to a C
- Mountainburg High School: C - Maintained and showed growth
- Mountainburg School District: C - Maintained
These results represent the hard work, dedication, and commitment of our administrators, teachers, staff, students, and families. Moving from a C to a B at MES and from a D to a C at MMSl is something worth celebrating!
At the same time, we know that a letter grade is only one measure of a school community. There is always room to learn, grow, improve, and strive for more. The progress we see today is a reminder of what can happen when we continue working together with a shared commitment to our students.
Congratulations to everyone who has contributed to these accomplishments! Your hard work matters, and we are excited to see what the future holds. There is nowhere to go but UP!
Let’s keep encouraging one another, supporting our schools, and building on this progress. Go Dragons!

**MHS Students & Parents: Make Those Service Hours Count!**
Beginning with the Class of 2027, Arkansas students are required to complete **75 hours of community service to graduate**. This requirement was established as part of the Arkansas LEARNS Act of 2023.
At Mountainburg High School, students will use **MobileServe** to record and keep track of their community service hours.
MobileServe has created a short, easy-to-follow video that walks students and parents through how to use the platform to record community service hours. Please take a few minutes to watch! Understanding how to properly enter your hours now will make it much easier to keep your service record accurate and up to date.
Students: Don’t wait until your senior year! Start earning community service hours early and make it a habit to enter them into MobileServe as soon as you complete them.
Parents & Guardians: We encourage you to watch the video, too! Knowing how MobileServe works will help you support your student as they work toward meeting this graduation requirement.
Community service is more than a requirement—it’s an opportunity to **give back, gain valuable experience, build your resume, and make a positive difference in your community.**
**75 Hours. One Graduation Requirement. Countless Ways to Make a Difference.**
