A MESSAGE TO ELEMENTARY PARENTS FROM MS. SHELBY: Hey Families! I just wanted to let you know to be checking your child's backpack LATER this week for their personalized “Art to Remember” order form!!! Please do not worry about the previous November 11th due date for orders.
Order forms will have a QR code with additional directions on how to purchase, and how to share with friends and family to purchase items. The proceeds from this fundraiser will go straight back into the art program to buy some very cool art supplies and displays for our kids. Thank you for your support. Email me with any questions. shelby.chappell@es.k12.ar.us. THANK YOU! -Ms. Shelby

CAR DISMISSAL - We need your help!
Elementary Parents, Coming to the office to get students before the end of the day causes disruptions to our learning environment. We know that sometimes your child will have an appointment and need to be checked out early. Please plan to pick up your child before 2:30 p.m. unless you have made prior arrangements with the office staff. After 2:30 p.m., our office staff is busy preparing for dismissal. We ask that you please wait in your car, as parents waiting in front of the doors is a safety concern. Thank you for your help in keeping our school orderly and safe!

The Arkansas Department of Education has released a video recording of this event:
