Gravette School District

🗣️ May is National Speech-Language-Hearing Month, where we recognize the essential role our Speech-Language Pathologists play in supporting student growth. Thank you to Ms. Julie Hooks, Mrs. Lisa McKee, Mrs. Jordan Bradford, and SLPA Mrs. Lauren Hawbaker for making sure every student is heard. SLPs help students strengthen communication skills by assessing needs, guiding progress, and addressing speech and language challenges that affect learning and relationships. SLPs play a vital role in helping students thrive by assessing, diagnosing, and supporting those with communication challenges. Their work is in the background but crucial, often shaping how students connect with the world around them. From speech sound disorders to language delays, they empower students to communicate confidently and succeed academically and socially. 🦁🧡 #LionPride #GravetteSchools #BetterHearingAndSpeechMonth

WEATHER UPDATE: This morning we implemented our tornado safety protocol in each building. We sincerely appreciate all staff and students who made this go as smoothly as possible. Everyone was safe and our campus was unharmed. Unfortunately, like many in our area, Gravette High School is without electricity. We hope to have an update soon on restoration efforts. A big thanks to all of our utility workers and first responders as they work through the rain to resolve these issues. We plan to have regular pickup times and bus routes this afternoon. Please contact your child's school if you have to change transportation arrangements for today.

This is the week of Bus Driver Appreciation Day. Even though the snow kept us away from school, we’re especially grateful for our bus drivers who always put student safety first! Through every season, they work hard to ensure a smooth ride and a warm welcome for our students and families. Let’s take a moment to thank our bus drivers for their kindness, patience, and commitment to our kids. If you see your driver on Monday, give them a big thank you and a smile! Our drivers are the ones we see every day, but behind every safe and smooth bus route, there’s a team working hard to make it happen! A huge shoutout goes to Mr. Richard Carver, our Transportation & Facilities Director, and Mrs. Melissa White, our Transportation & Facilities Administrative Assistant, for all they do to keep our buses running and our students safe. Their hard work, planning, and care make a difference every day! Our schools need more bus drivers! If you or someone you know is interested in joining our team, check out the job posting here: https://www.gravetteschools.net/drive #BusDriverAppreciationDay #LionPride

Reminder: School is out on Monday, February 17th, President's Day.
