Arkansas Lighthouse School Community,
We’ve made it to our first break of the 23-24 school year. Please take time to enjoy your family and friends this holiday.
Remember, in an effort to give scholars a break and allow teachers to break and receive professional development and training, schools will be closed Tuesday-Friday of next week, with scholars retuning Monday, September 11th. We would like to suggest using the time away to schedule scholar appointments (doctor, dentist, etc) to decrease the amount of time scholars are away from school during our normal schedule.
Finally, please don’t forget to assist us and use this time to P.L.A.Y. (Prioritize Literacy and Achievement Year-round). This is a great time to connect with your scholar and read or have them read to you each day and/or night.
Again, we wish you a safe and enjoyable holiday and break and look forward to seeing you Monday, September 11th by 9am.
Your Arkansas Lighthouse Family!
PLAY TEES ARE COMING!
