I am needing parents of students who have immunization exemptions to get me a copy of the approval letter for the 2023/24 school year. The Arkansas Dept of Health is authorized by ACT 999 of 2003 to grant individual exemptions from the immunization requirements. After the guardians have received your approval letter, you are responsible for notifying the student's school that your exemption request has been approved. A copy of the approval letter is to be placed in the student's file at school. If your child has an exemption form , I need a copy of the approval letter. If you have not filed for the form , please do so at the Arkansas Dept of Health website. Debbie Kinder RN Viola School Nurse

Arkansas Children’s Hospital will again offer a virtual-only Good Mourning Grief Support Group series for students in grades K-12 and their parents/guardians. The Parent Orientation will be Monday, January 8 and groups will begin the following week on Monday and Tuesday evenings and go for 8 weeks. This means that December is the best time, if at all possible, for families to submit online applications. There is NO CHARGE for the program, and because it's virtual, the series will be available to any family in Arkansas. You can contact Greg Adams at 501-364-6549 for more information.

With the collaboration of Mrs. Richmond, second graders participated in a Thanksgiving Break Out Box activity! This activity was the perfect ending to a unit in teamwork. The first place teams demonstrated a great effort in teamwork, math skills, many different reading challenges, and was able to save Tom the Turkey from being Thanksgiving dinner!

Happy Thanksgiving! Viola School will be closed all week so families can better enjoy the holiday.

Miss McIntosh's first grade has been learning about sound this week. Before their Thanksgiving Break students did a lab where they observed vibrations from tuning forks making salt seem to move on its own!

Students took an industry visit to Baxter Health and got to visit the simulation center. They got to draw blood from a dummy arm, work as physical therapists, learn about feeding patients with special eating needs, and get dressed out for surgery.

Hoop Shoot competition will begin at Viola after Thanksgiving break. The event is sponsored by the Elks Lodge.

The basketball games originally scheduled on 11/21/23 at home verse Couch have been moved to 11/27/23. Senior girls, senior boys B, and the senior boys teams will play. The senior girls are still scheduled to play 11/21/23 at the Bergman Classic.

Second Graders enjoyed a guest reader, Diane Cobler, during Red Ribbon Week! She read The Red Ribbon. It was a story about hope and teamwork! Thanks, Ms. Diane!

Some students took an industry visit to Kidspiration in Mountain Home today. Students learned about the center for children with special needs and careers in speech therapy, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and applied behavior analysts.
