Awesome Library Surpise Update! Thanks to the City of Little Rock, the Little Rock School District and all of our partners for Reading in the Rock. Because of this synergy, every single Chicot student, PreK through 5th grade, will get to come and choose 5 FREE brand-new books to keep for their home libraries! We started today with PreK and kindergarten. By Wednesday afternoon, every student will have received their books! Keep your eyes out for all your students' books. Let's create a school full of kids who love to read and read to learn!

The second session of our English classes will take place on Wednesday, December 17. Families are invited to join us to practice everyday conversation and learn useful phrases for daily life. For questions or additional information, please call (501) 447-7025.

Dear Parents,
We are noticing an increase in students being sent to school after receiving medication at home. If a child requires medication for an illness, they should remain at home to rest and recover.
We are currently seeing higher numbers of flu cases in our community, and we appreciate your help in keeping all students and staff healthy—especially as we approach the holidays.
Thank you for your cooperation and support.
Estimados padres:
Hemos notado un aumento en estudiantes que están siendo enviados a la escuela después de haber recibido medicación en casa. Si un niño necesita medicamento debido a una enfermedad, debe permanecer en casa para descansar y recuperarse.
Actualmente estamos viendo un aumento de casos de gripe en nuestra comunidad, y agradecemos su ayuda para mantener a todos los estudiantes y al personal saludables, especialmente durante la temporada de fiestas.
Gracias por su cooperación y apoyo.
