Bomber Update: Mrs. Dewey introduces you to four outstanding junior high students who helped others during a crisis earlier this week! https://youtu.be/ydh1_Tvu51A
Bomber Families,
After talking with the National Weather Service a few moments ago, our forecast is increasing in severity. I am concerned about the dangerous weather conditions as well as potential flooding if we wait to dismiss at our regularly-scheduled time. With that in mind, Mountain Home Public Schools will release at 12:45 today. I encourage you all to use a high level of caution for the remainder of the afternoon and evening, as conditions look to be severe. Note: Flight Crew will be cancelled as well.
Thank you,
Allyson Dewey
Superintendent
Today is Paraprofessional Appreciation Day!
We could not have school without our paraprofessionals! They are the very best and are a critical piece of daily school life. They assist in providing meaningful interventions, teach essential skills, support academic learning, provide safe environments by supervising students, and so much more! We always hope they feel valued and appreciated! We asked some staff members to describe our paraprofessionals, and here are some of the responses we received: positive, magnetic, support development of essential skills, natural leaders, love a challenge, empathetic, tender-hearted, help to close achievement gaps, compassionate, smart, loyal, faithful, patient, gentle, gracious, ray of sunshine, encourage risk taking in learning.
The work of the professional is ongoing, and we couldn’t do it without them! Thank you!
Mountain Home Parks & Rec has some fantastic opportunities coming up!
Our Outdoor Learning courses received a generous donation of $12,700 from the Arkansas Game & Fish Commission on Saturday night at the organization's Night of Conservation in Mountain Home. Thank you so much to the Commission for your continued support of our programming and our kids!

Reminder for Families: On March 20, our Board of Education approved a calendar amendment that made May 23 a full day of school. This adjustment was made to add back a few hours to our calendar due to an early dismissal in January. Here's a link to the updated calendar showing May 23 as a full school day!
