🦁 Educators from Gravette High School and Gravette Middle School gathered this week for Universal Design for Learning (UDL) training at the Lion Learning Center.
The session brought together general education and special services staff to study how small changes in classroom design can lead to better outcomes for every learner.
Gravette Schools has entered a three-year partnership with CAST, the national leader in UDL, to strengthen instructional practices across the district. Special services is also working with the Northwest Arkansas Education Service Cooperative to provide continued training and support for this work.
Special Education Director Tyler Matlock shared, “We are very excited at what the practices of UDL can do for our students in Gravette Schools. Finding ways to give more access to students of all levels of need in the general education classroom is the goal of our department and district. Partnering with CAST helps us do just that.”
This collaboration reflects a long-term commitment to building systems that work for all students. 🧡 #GravetteSchools #LionPride

🦁 The 2024–25 school year is in the books. For many in our schools, it was their first... first year leading, first year learning, or first year walking through our doors.
We’re proud of the progress made and thankful for the people who made it possible. From Mr. Gravette’s first year as superintendent to Dr. Newsom’s first year at Glenn A. Duffy Elementary, this was a year of fresh starts and firm steps forward. Across all our schools, staff and students put in the work and showed what it means to be part of Gravette.
Our students and staff are strong, focused, and ready. And the 2025-2026 school year is already looking bright. See you next year, Lions! Enjoy the time off and come back recharged and ready to pounce! 🧡 #LionPride #GravetteSchools
