Happy Thanksgiving Chicot Cheetahs! We are thankful for each and every one of you!


Thanksgiving is right around the corner! We hope that everyone has a great holiday. We will see you back on November 27th!


The Family 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families Bingo Board is something fun families can play together over the break! Have a safe Fall Break! Please check your child's S.P.O.T.S. folder for the gameboard. Families can use this card over the break to complete family activities that will further their knowledge and understanding of the 7 Habits. This can also be used to teach family members more about Leader In Me and how the 7 Habits can be used at home!



Families,
Here are flyers for additional food giveaways in the community. There is a flyer for Christmas gifts as well. Please see the flyers for information.





Please check out our Scholars who were caught showing their S.P.O.T.S.!

All gone!

Note! Please wait in the parking lot and DO NOT block the bus loop. All buses and vans need to have access.

Time change! We are officially changing the food distribution time to 3:15 p.m. for the remainder of the year. Check Rooms for updates on how many boxes are left.
Also, this is the last distribution before Thanksgiving break. We will have enough boxes for 45 families.
See you tomorrow!



Parents of students who ride Bus 28E, the bus is running late. It should arriv soon. Thanks for your patience!

Good afternoon Chicot families. Out of an abundance of caution, we went on a brief perimeter lockdown this afternoon following a report that gunshots were heard in the surrounding community. Safety and Security conducted an assessment. No threat was identified and we were cleared to resume normal operations.

Families! Friday is the last day to donate items to our Food Drive. We are asking families to donate food. All items are donated to a local organization to serve others.
The winning grade level will get a popcorn party! Kindergarten is leading the competition today. Let's support our community!
