Thank you for your patience this morning as we work to ensure the safety of our students. Bus routes will now resume, and pickups will be delayed approximately 40 minutes from your normal pickup time. Classes will begin at the normal time and students who arrive late will be excused and still have the opportunity to eat breakfast before reporting to class. Contact your building principal with any questions or concerns.

Can students practice for the ATLAS at home?
Yes! One of the best ways students can prepare for ATLAS is by becoming comfortable with the testing experience itself. Practicing at home can help students:
Become familiar with online testing tools
Practice using a keyboard and mouse
Get used to wearing headphones and listening to audio
For elementary students: practice reading aloud into a headset
This type of practice helps students feel more confident on testing days so they can focus on showing what they know, instead of worrying about how the test works. You don’t need long or intense practice sessions. Even short, low-pressure practice can make a big difference.
Practice resources and helpful tips are available in the Learning and Assessment Center here.
From Mrs. Hayslip at Taylor Elementary:
"In celebration of Black History Month, 5th graders engaged in a multidisciplinary project by creating Black History Biography Quilt Squares. To begin, learners performed an analysis of the word "biography," identifying the Greek root bio (life) and the suffix graphy (writing) as our word study lesson. After selecting a historical figure to research, students synthesized their findings into a visual narrative and then presented their research to their class. This project culminated in a collaborative class-level "quilt" that showcases their writing and artistic design."
What a meaningful project!
They explored chemical changes by creating gases with baking soda and vinegar, identified substances using physical properties, and even made ice cream while learning about physical changes. Students also enjoyed a visit from the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, where they learned about aquatic plants found in the school pond.
Learning is always more fun when students can explore science in action!

It’s National School Breakfast Week! Did you know students who eat breakfast the morning of a standardized test score 17.5% higher on average than those who skip it? That’s a big boost for something as simple as starting the day with a good meal! The best part? At White Hall, breakfast is FREE for every student, every single school day, not just this week. So fuel up, Bulldogs, and let your brain do its best work! And tomorrow’s menu makes it easy… grab a slice of breakfast pizza or a strawberry toaster pastry and start your day the right way!
We are proud to share that Moody Elementary was recognized as the Top Fundraising Group, donating $775 at the event, and with continued donations, our total has now reached $795! This effort was led by Moody's Great Girl and Great Guy Clubs, open to any fifth grader who wants to join. These clubs focus on giving back through monthly meetings, community speakers, and hands-on service projects. This spring, students chose to support our inclusion classmates through the Polar Plunge, which was very personal to them since they learn alongside these students each day. They are already planning to attend the upcoming Special Olympics Track & Field Meet to continue cheering on and supporting their peers.
What do ATLAS results tell us?
ATLAS results give us a snapshot of how your student is doing with grade-level skills. They help us see what your student understands well and where extra support might be needed.
ATLAS shows:
How your student is performing on grade-level work
Skills your student has mastered
Areas that may need more practice
How our school is performing overall
ATLAS does not show:
Everything your student can do
How hard they work each day
Their creativity, personality, or potential
ATLAS is just one piece of the puzzle. Teachers also use classroom work, daily assignments, and observations to understand your student’s progress.
