💙 It's a new year, which means new classes for some of our students, and we are ready to E.X.C.E.L. (Engage, X-plore, Communicate, Empower, and Launch)! This week, several students worked together to create social contracts for their new classes.

In preparation for the well below-normal temperatures next week, the great people of Saline County have come together to organize a COMMUNITY Warming Center!
Saline County Warming Center Quick Facts:
📍 Northside Church of Christ (917 N. East St. Benton, next to Saline Memorial Hospital)
⏰ Opens: Sunday, Jan. 14 at 5pm (opening depending on current weather conditions)
📱To volunteer, call (501) 528-9668 or email salinewarmingcenter@gmail.com.
With winter weather in the forecast, now is a good time to review our inclement weather procedures. In the event that the school district has to cancel school due to inclement weather, we will have a traditional snow day.
The district is utilizing an alternative calendar with additional instructional hours scheduled above what is required by the state. As long as the district does not close for more than five days, days will not have to be added to the end of the school year.
IF it should be necessary to close school, parents will be notified by all District communication channels such as phone call, text, email, website, mobile app and social media as well as news outlets.
🧑🔬 Mrs. Penn's and Mr. Christmas's 6th grade science classes are finishing a unit on thermal energy this week. Their classes were challenged to choose the perfect insulator to protect the baby penguins visiting our school from the hot heat lamps in their classrooms. There were so many noisy, chirping baby penguins in the containers, even Mr. Sims had to intervene!! 🧊🐧😉 Thankfully, they soon discovered the penguins were really just melting rubber ducky ice cubes in need of good insulation! #sciencelab #bethebest
