Weekly character shout-out!
Today we want to highlight our RISE challenge recipients Lendyn Holman, Ryan Morris, Jessica Watts (not pictured: Isaiah Cash). These students were recognized for showing our core value of self discipline in the classroom. From going above and beyond on difficult assignments to removing themselves from a distracting situation, these students are living out what it means to control their actions, words, and emotions. Keep it up, T-Birds!
Today is the Primary Election, and when you step into the voting booth, you may notice a school millage rate listed on the ballot.
Arkansas law requires every school district to list its current millage rate on the ballot during the annual school election, even when no change is being requested.
Cross County School District is not asking for a millage increase.
This is not a new tax.
It does not raise your current rate.
The ballot simply reflects the district’s current millage, as required by Arkansas law.
We understand that ballot wording can sometimes raise questions, so we wanted to share this information clearly with our community.
If you would like additional details, our Administration Office would be happy to visit with you.

❄️ Snow Routes in Effect ❄️
Snow routes will be in effect as we return to school. Please review the attached graphics carefully, as they outline the routes that will be used while winter weather conditions continue to improve.
As you plan for the morning, please keep these safety tips in mind:
• Give yourself extra time when traveling to and from school, especially if you are dropping off or picking up a student.
• Please be patient during drop off and pick up, as traffic may move more slowly than normal.
• Snow and ice may still be hugging roadways, and isolated icy patches are possible, especially in shaded or less traveled areas.
• Remind your student to use caution when arriving on campus, particularly in areas where icy patches may still be present.
• Allow extra space between your vehicle and the one in front of you during drop off and pick up.
Thank you for your patience and support as we work to keep students and staff safe. 💙🩶
