Lead Hill School District

HEY! HEY! HEY!
SAVE THE DATE!

Some folks (Hi Jane!!) have asked if we could send out one graphic with upcoming dates and times for our back-to-school activities.

So here ya' go!

By the way, we originally had new student registration and student scheduling in the cafeteria, but we've had to move this activity to the school library. We will have signs posted with directions and are trying to find someone willing to play traffic cop in a dinosaur costume for the entire week.

Parents, now is a good time to check your child's immunization records with their primary care provider or the Arkansas Department of Health to make sure they are up to date for the upcoming school year.

ALL students should have their immunizations reviewed, as requirements and needed vaccines can vary by age and grade. Children entering 7th grade and students around age 16 are common ages when additional vaccines may be due.

If your child has an immunization exemption, please remember to submit the required paperwork to the Arkansas Department of Health for the 2026-2027 school year and remember that exemptions are to be resubmitted yearly.

Please check records early so any needed vaccines or paperwork can be completed prior to school starting.

🍎 Exciting news for our elementary classrooms! 🍎 Our dedicated elementary teachers are heading back to school early to participate in specialized professional development. Thanks to generous grant funding, our educators are receiving intensive training in the UFLI Foundationscurriculum, developed by the University of Florida Literacy Institute. Here is what this means for our students:     •    Evidence-based reading instruction grounded in the Science of Reading.     •    Explicit and systematic lessons targeting foundational literacy skills.     •    Engaging, multi-sensory activities to build strong, confident readers.     •    Data-driven strategies to support every learner at their individual level. We are incredibly proud of our teachers for their continuous commitment to growth and excellence. We cannot wait to see these powerful reading strategies in action this school year! 📚✨

Our Lady Tiger basketball teams finished up the Tri-Lakes Shootout with a swim at the Rec Plex. They played six games during the last two days and gained valuable experience. They will have one more camp next week before they wrap up summer. Go Lady Tigers! #TigerPride

A big congratulations goes out to Travis Cook! He had the opportunity to attend the NASP World Championship Archery Tournament this weekend in Daytona. He did an amazing job of representing our school in several competitions. Travis competed on Friday evening in the scholarship shoot off and finished 2nd. He earned a $4,000 scholarship from this shoot off. He also competed in Bullseye and 3D competitions where he shot a 292 and 288 on Saturday. He finished 12th in the Bullseye competition and 36th in the 3D. We are very excited to allow him this opportunity to travel and earn additional scholarship money from NASP. He will add this scholarship to his $2,000 earned earlier in the year from his State Tournament performance! While in Daytona, he also got to enjoy the beach, explore downtown, and ride the slingshot. Way to go Travis!! We are so proud of you! #TigerPride
