ATLAS interim testing will take place this week. The data collected helps us determine placements for interventions and support programs, ensuring that each student receives the assistance they need.
Additionally, this assessment serves as valuable preparation for the state-mandated test in April. It familiarizes students with the content and the procedures they will encounter, helping them make necessary adjustments for success.
We encourage daily attendance, punctuality, and full effort during testing.
Please take a moment to discuss the importance of this assessment with your child. Encourage them to do their best, get a good night’s rest, and come to school mentally prepared.

Dear Parents and Students,
We want to remind you that ATLAS interim testing will take place next week. This is an important opportunity for students to demonstrate their growth and abilities. The data collected helps us determine placements for interventions and support programs, ensuring that each student receives the assistance they need.
Additionally, this assessment serves as valuable preparation for the state-mandated test in April. It familiarizes students with both the content and the procedures they will encounter, helping them make necessary adjustments for success.
To ensure accurate measurement of student progress, we encourage daily attendance, punctuality, and full effort during testing. These assessments contribute to our school’s annual report card and reflect the hard work of our students and teachers.
Please take a moment to discuss the importance of this assessment with your child. Encourage them to do their best, get a good night’s rest, and come to school mentally prepared.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership in your child's education.

Dear Cutter Morning Star Families,
We want to inform you about adjustments to our school calendar due to the snow days on January 9th, 10th, and 14th, 2025. Per our approved 2024-2025 calendar, we will be making up the missed instructional time as follows:
Monday, February 24th – School will be in session as a regular school day (not a Wednesday schedule).
Monday, March 10th – School will also be in session as a regular school day.
As an alternate calendar school, we track instructional time by hours rather than days. Arkansas law requires 1,068 instructional hours per year, and our calendar includes additional hours beyond this requirement. By utilizing February 24th, March 10th, and our built-in banked hours, we will meet the required instructional time.
Additional Makeup Day (If Needed):
If any further instructional time is lost (due to additional snow days or unforeseen closures), Monday, April 14th will be designated as a makeup day.
At the end of the school year, we will evaluate our total instructional hours. If we exceed the required hours, an early dismissal on the last day of school may be considered. However, this decision will not be finalized until the last week of school.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation. Please plan accordingly for February 24th and March 10th as regular school days. Student attendance is expected.
Thank you for your support!
