Congratulations to the following students for their awesome AP scores. We are so proud of all your hard work!

Per State and Federal guidelines, special education records are maintained for six years after the student exits the special education program.
If your child was dismissed, graduated, dropped from the program, or found to be ineligible in the 2016-2017 school years, records will be destroyed after July 15, 2023. You or your child (as rights are transferred to the student at the age of 18) have the right to review or request a copy of these records before they are destroyed. If you wish to view or request a copy of the records before destruction, please call LEA Special Education Supervisor, Christina Kammerer, at 870-781-3711.
THESE RECORDS ARE NOT YOUR CHILD’S PERMANENT SCHOOL RECORDS. THESE ARE SPECIAL EDUCATION DOCUMENTS ONLY.
Thank you to all who served and laid down their lives for our freedoms. We honor and remember you.

Today is the last day of school. Enjoy your summer break. See you in August!
