Congratulations to Treasure Buchanan on her acceptance to the University of Arkansas.

Our seniors had the opportunity to tour Arkansas State University and experience college life up close! They explored the beautiful campus, visited key spots around the university, and got a glimpse of what it’s like to be a Red Wolf. 🐺❤️
This visit was a great way for our students to start envisioning their next chapter and all the possibilities that await after graduation. We’re so proud of them for taking steps toward their future!

The ATLAS, Arkansas Teaching, Learning & Assessment System, is a system of assessments that monitor student progress throughout the year.
Teachers use ATLAS scores to understand how well their students are meeting grade level standards and to monitor progress. The detailed information from ATLAS helps teachers identify when students need additional support or are ready for more challenging work. Teachers can then tailor their instruction to meet individual student needs.
Need more information, including how to access results or view sample questions? Check out the attached Frequently Asked Questions about ATLAS for Parents! You can also discuss scores and support for learning at home with your child's teacher.
