Ringing phones and busy days,
You keep us moving in so many ways.
With every smile and helping hand,
You’re the here for all we’ve planned.
From big tasks to little things,
You make the order that each day brings.
Kind, dependable, and always there,
You show our school how much you care.
Thank you for all that you do,
We truly appreciate you, Sam—it’s true! 📚

Kindergarten and 1st grade students will participate in ATLAS testing April 20–24.
The Arkansas Teaching, Learning, and Assessment System (ATLAS) is the state’s required, untimed, computer-based assessment. It helps measure student progress in English Language Arts and Math based on Arkansas Academic Standards.
ATLAS includes early grade screeners for K–3 students, helping teachers better understand each child’s learning needs and growth.
💡 How you can help your child be successful:
✔️ Get a good night’s sleep
✔️ Eat a healthy breakfast
✔️ Arrive at school on time before 8:00 AM
We are proud of our students and know they will do their best!

“Stan the Man” stands for kindness! 💙
Stanley Tucker learned many hard lessons at a young age after the loss of his father, but he has turned that tragedy into a passion for helping children. Inspired by his father’s hardworking spirit and supported by strong, service-minded mentors—uncles, teachers, and community members—Stan now strives to be that same positive influence for others.
Through his visits, he shares books with children and teaches the importance of kindness and connection. 🌟

Our kindergarten students will be going on a field trip to the Little Rock Zoo on Wednesday, April 15th! We are excited for a fun day of learning and exploring animals.
Parent/Family Information:
Parents and family members are welcome to attend, but transportation to the zoo will be your responsibility.
Group Admission: $8.00 per person
Parking: $3.00 per vehicle
Please send cash (exact amount if possible) or a check payable to Beebe Early Childhood by Monday, April 13th.

Schedule for the Day:
🚌 Buses depart from school at approximately 9:15 AM. Please make sure your child arrives at school on time.
🍎 We will begin the day with an early picnic lunch at the zoo.
🐾 After lunch, we will enter the zoo together around 10:50–11:00 AM and tour until about 1:15 PM.
Lunch Information:
Students may choose:
-Bring a sack lunch and drink from home
-Receive a sack lunch from the school cafeteria
If bringing lunch from home, please send it with your child or notify the teacher if you plan to bring it to the zoo so we can make sure every student has a lunch.
Checking Your Child Out:
If you plan to check your child out, teachers will have a sign-out sheet available during lunch, so you won’t have to locate the class during the zoo tour.
📝 Permission slips must be returned by Monday, April 13th, along with:
$8.00 for your child’s admission
$8.00 for each attending family member
$3.00 parking fee per vehicle
❤️ Optional Donations:
Donations are welcome to help cover admission for students who may need assistance. If you would like to donate, simply include the amount with your payment.
We hope to see you there—we are planning for a great day at the zoo! 🐾
Thank you for all of your help and support!
