We are so lucky to have you at Chicot and in our LRSD ESOL Department. Way to go!

Good Afternoon Families of 1st Grade Scholars,
Unfortunately, due to the weather tomorrow, the 1st grade field trip to Pinnacle Mountain has been canceled. Instead, we are going to have a Disney themed STEM Day focused on our Literacy Module 4-Cinderella stories. Thank you so much for understanding.
Here we are! In addition to all the events May brings, it is time to celebrate one of our very special days: LEADERSHIP DAY! As a Leader in Me School, Leadership Day highlights and celebrates the accomplishments of our student leaders! Chicot Scholars will share how they execute their leadership in classrooms, serve in school-wide leadership roles, showcase their genius in specialty areas and engage in service to the community. Families and community members please use the QR code or the link on the flyer to RSVP for this special day. We look forward to seeing you!
