Heads Up
Please share the Bentonville Parks and Recreation membership information with your staff again. Here's the link to PowerPoint and I've attached the forms.I'll be posting a reminder on immunizations prior to Spring Break on district social media. Deb Keith is helping put that together.
Consider having your students create a banner of encouragement for runners participating in the Bentonville 1/2 Marathon on March 28th. I'll be happy to pick them up and hang them on the fences by Thomas Jefferson and Tennie Russell early in the morning. If your kids know anyone participating, I'm sure they would love to see a personalized message.
Tonight's #bpseduchat is on assessment. Questions can be found here. Add any that you would like to discuss.
If you haven't heard already, Conner Dohse has taken a position at Arkansas Arts Academy as head of technology. He's perfect for the job and will definitely make positive changes.
