🚗 We are ready to welcome you back tomorrow, Gravette Middle School families! Here’s the 2025–2026 car rider drop-off plan to keep traffic safe and moving:
📍 Pay attention to the teacher on duty 🚫 Do not let students out in parking spaces ⬆️ Pull forward as far as possible before letting students out ➡️ After drop-off, turn right when exiting the parking lot 🔗 Read more here: https://www.gravetteschools.net/o/gms/page/bell-schedule
To avoid traffic jams, only turn right onto Dallas Street when leaving the drop-off area. Then turn left on 7th Street for the smoothest exit. 🦁🧡 #LionPride #GravetteSchools

🦁 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

🏈 Our kids made the news last night! KNWA featured the 2025 Gravette Youth Football Camp, where students entering grades 2–6 are working alongside high school athletes to build football fundamentals and teamwork.
This year’s registration fee was a canned or non-perishable food item. These donations will be given to the 58:10 Food Pantry. We're proud of our Lions for giving back and putting in the work this summer on the field and in the community.
The two-day camp wraps up tonight from 6:30 to 8:00 PM at Lions Stadium. 🦁🧡 #LionPride #GravetteSchools

🦁 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

🎉 Gravette Middle School's 7th graders earned their way to Dave & Buster's for the 4th Quarter Reward Trip! Good grades, meeting their AR book goals, great attendance, and no zeros... they hit every mark.
But can someone explain why the teachers got to join in the reward too? We’re not saying they didn’t meet the same standards, but maybe someone should look into it... 🤔🧡 #LionPride #GravetteSchools
