Dear 3rd Grade Families,
On Friday, February 27, your child will bring home an important letter regarding their reading progress and Arkansas promotion requirements for 3rd grade students.
Under the Arkansas Department of Education guidelines, students must score at or above grade level on the spring state summative assessment in April to be automatically promoted to 4th grade.
This letter will inform you of your child’s current reading status based on recent interim assessment data.
The letter will indicate one of the following:
On Track/Ready for Promotion, or
Potential Risk of Not Being Promoted
If your child is identified as “Potential Risk,” this does not mean they will automatically be retained. It does mean they need additional reading support between now and the April state assessment. Our team is already working with students through targeted instruction and intervention, and we will partner closely with families to ensure every child has the support needed to be successful.
Please review the letter carefully when it comes home and contact your child’s teacher or the school office if you have any questions. We are committed to keeping you informed and working together to help every student meet grade-level expectations.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support.
This announcement is for ALL families of students that ride Bus 17B (boy).
Beginning tomorrow, Thursday, February 26, there will be new stop pick-up times. An updated route sheet is being sent home today with students that ride 17B.
Please make note of your child's new pick up time and remember that students are supposed to arrive at their stop 10 minutes early.
If you have any questions, please contact First Student.

Please see the flyer for daily themes. We look forward to celebrating together!





Dear Bale Families,
