Last week we had finished our first year of ATLAS testing! We are excited to report that every student brought their Chromebook to school each day. We only had a few students that failed to bring them charged! Starting tomorrow, we will be doing our last round of MAP testing. Again, we need all students to bring their Chromebooks to school and have charged and ready to test. While we are on the subject of Chromebooks, our last day for Chromebooks will be Thursday, May 16th! We will start our Chromebook and charger collection on Friday, May 17th to start the clean up, damage assessment, and repairs to get them ready for next school year. Students will be charged for any damages to their Chromebook or loss of any chargers. Students must pay for these repairs or replacements before they will receive a Chromebook next year. --- ¡La semana pasada terminamos nuestro primer año de pruebas ATLAS! Nos complace informar que todos los estudiantes trajeron su Chromebook a la escuela todos los días. ¡Solo tuvimos unos pocos estudiantes que no lograron presentar cargos! A partir de mañana, realizaremos nuestra última ronda de pruebas MAP. Nuevamente, necesitamos que todos los estudiantes traigan sus Chromebooks a la escuela, los tengan cargados y listos para realizar la prueba. Mientras hablamos del tema de los Chromebooks, ¡nuestro último día para los Chromebooks será el jueves 16 de mayo! Comenzaremos nuestra recolección de Chromebook y cargador el viernes 17 de mayo para comenzar la limpieza, evaluación de daños y reparaciones para prepararlos para el próximo año escolar. A los estudiantes se les cobrará por cualquier daño a su Chromebook o pérdida de cualquier cargador. Los estudiantes deben pagar estas reparaciones o reemplazos antes de recibir un Chromebook el próximo año.

Friday was School Lunch Hero Day! We are so appreciative our Cafeteria Food Service Workers for always making delicious meals for our students as well as our staff! This year our teachers and staff signed up to make their favorite sweet treats to serve at the reception for all our cafeteria ladies do for us. Mrs. Felt even donated some amazing tumblers that were used as door prizes during the reception! Please help us in celebrating our amazing School Lunch Heroes! #DestinationGeorge

What is better than one soccer champion?! That's right...two soccer champions! Both the Wrangler boys and girls soccer teams finished off their soccer seasons against two formidable opponents! In a hard fought game against the SWJH Cougars, the boys team came away with a 2-0 Victory!

We are so proud of our Wrangler soccer teams and their coaches, Coach Eric Smith and Coach Christopher Stewart! Way to go, Wranglers! #DestinationGeorge #WeAreGeorge #FearTheG #Champions #SpringdaleFamily

Four George Junior High School students, Camila Torres, Bryan Palma, Vanesa Romero, and Elisabeth Price, DOMINATED in the kitchen this past Saturday at the UAMS Junior Master Chef competition. The professionalism, the team work, the problem solving - Mrs. Fortenberry was blown away by these 4 chefs! 2nd place in competition, but the hard work and dedication these 4 showed over the past several weeks makes them #1 in our book! We may see Chicken Tinga in cafeterias one day! #DestinationGeorge #SpringdaleFamily

Today is National School Librarian Day and we want to celebrate and recognize Mrs. Martin and Mrs. Delgado for all they do! Usually when you think of the library, you think of a place that houses lots and lots of books, but our librarians make it so much more. They convert our library to a cool escape room, have scavenger hunts, or some other amazing project. They make it a fun, exciting, innovative space for our students to be creative and think outside of the box...and books! They create a whole culture of learning and fun for both our students and our staff! We are so appreciative of everything they do! #DestinationGeorge
