Cutter Morning Star Public Schools

Hi parents and students, This is just a reminder that parent-teacher conferences are tomorrow from 1:00-7:00 PM. At the high school, parents do not need to make an appointment. You can come any time between 1:00-7:00 and meet with your student's teachers. We look forward to seeing you there!

As we come to the end of the first 9 weeks of school, I wanted to take a moment and remind everyone of a few things. **Speed limit in front of the school is 25 m.p.h, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It is set this way because kids are on campus more than just regular school hours. **By state law a school zone is described as 300 feet past the end of the school property/last building on any road. The exception would be Hwy. 70 that has a fence barricade between it and the school. **The use of cell phones is prohibited while driving in a school zone. Does not matter if you're holding it to the side or using the speaker and holding it. This includes texting or using the internet (Paul's Law). If you are under the age of 18, you are completely prohibited, by law, from using cell phones while driving. This includes hand free devices. **Accelerating at a high rate of speed, often called "Jack Rabbit" starts, is considered reckless driving, Statute 27-50-308. This includes accelerating quickly over the speed bumps. Over the first few weeks I have made several traffic stops in regards to these issues. I am asking everyone to help me with these matters to reduce the chances of a serious accident. If you have any questions, or need references to the traffic laws, please feel free to contact me. Officer Patrick Naven-SRO Cutter Morning Star School District 2801 Spring Street Hot Springs, AR 7901 501-262-2414

Come out to Atwood’s and support the band!

As the weather turns cold many of our parents find that their children have outgrown their coats and hoodies And most times, those outgrown items are still in good condition. With the expensive cost of everything, we thought it might be helpful to our families if we organized a coat and hoodie “SWAP” here at our school. It will work like this, during parent/teacher conferences any of our CMS parents may bring any gently used coat and/or hoodie to their conference and drop them in the collection bins at either the elementary school or the high school. (Please note that at the elementary school the bins will have individual grade levels on each. The grade that has the largest number of donations will receive a PIZZA Party!!!!) EPIC volunteers will organize those coats and hoodies by sizes and let parents and students know when they are ready to be swapped. OR if you aren’t interested in participating in our SWAP but have coats and/or hoodies that will fit our students and you just want to donate those, we will take those too!!! We hope to have plenty of different sizes and options for any student who needs a coat and/or hoodie. IF you would like to help with our coat and hoodie “SWAP” please either contact Courtney Post at 870-918-9968 or Terry Lawler at 501-463-7844.

Senior Night for band, cheer, and football is this Friday night on Allen Tillery Field at Eagle Stadium. Parents need to be there promptly at 6:00, in line and ready to start the festivities at 6:15. Please come out and support all of these student athletes in their last event at home! Go Eagles!!

Students were working hard today learning about the scientific process and testing out chemical reactions! It’s hard not to learn when learning is so fun!
