What an amazing showcase we had today! Our Black History Month Program was so meaningful and educational. And to top it off, Ms. Elisabeth Eckford, one of the Little Rock Nine, was in attendance for our show. What an honor to have such an amazing historical figure right here in our audience. It's a day we won't forget.

Good morning, 4th Grade McDermott Parents: We want to reassure you that the safety of our students and staff remains our highest priority. Yesterday, we were made aware of a threat by a student to harm himself and others from his classmates. The student will face disciplinary action according to the Student Code of Conduct and the law. As always, we encourage students, staff, and families to report any safety concerns so we can address them promptly and proactively. If you have any questions or need further reassurance, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Thank you for your trust and partnership in keeping our school community safe. Sincerely, Pam Dial
