The Arkansas Better Chance (ABC) program was created in 1991 to offer high quality early education services to children birth to five exhibiting developmental and socio-economic risk factors.  In 2003, the Arkansas Legislature made a commitment to expand early childhood education to serve low-income three and four-year old children in areas at high risk for academic failure with high quality pre-k services. This expansion, known as the Arkansas Better Chance for School Success, has become the state pre-kindergarten program. To find out further information click here.

For High School: Students are given the bare minimum supplies to purchase at the beginning. These supplies will get your student through the first week or so without having to purchase additional supplies. As your student goes to their different classes/extra circular courses throughout the first week, the teachers will assign them more supplies to purchase specific to those classes.

If you are unable to make it during the date and times listed below to pick up your child's technology for the school year, your child can pick up their chromebook the first day of school. Please note, it is mandatory that BOTH, you AND your child, sign a 1-1 technology device agreement before the technology department hands your child a chromebook. This agreement goes over how to take care of the technology, what it will cost you to replace the technology, and so forth. It is mandatory that our technology department has this agreement signed by both parties before your child can physically have their chromebook. Click here to read it.

For safety reasons and in the interest of efficiency, parents are not allowed in the building on the first day of school.
