Today's Saturday Academy was amazing.. Staff made a commitment to supporting students as we make our last push before the State assessments. Assistant Superintendent, Dr. Jones, visited classrooms to see contextual learning skills developed by students, and was very impressed.
We will have Saturday Academy, tomorrow, April 13, 2024. Students are attending sessions in ELA, Math, Alg 1, and Geometry. Come out and join the fun. Learning and prizes, breakfast and lunch! 8:00-12:00 at BMS.
We would like to take the time out to thank Traveling Grounds, LLC and Mrs. Abby Rogers, for their support of the Blytheville School District Food Pantry. Mrs. Rogers, pictured above far left, presented Ms. Miner ( BSD) a $3,000 check! Thank you for being part of our #Tribe
Staff and students in the Blytheville School District take time to observe the solar eclipse today. This is a memory we all can cherish. #History #WeAreBSD
BSD will be in session. Campuses have planned activities which are safe for students. Students and staff will receive solar glasses. It is unsafe to view the eclipse without protective eye covering. Please be safe but enjoy an event that will not occur again for decades.
Staff and students returned to school and were greeted with an upgrade to the High School Cafeteria. Students loved the new look! "It feels like we are in college or a restaurant!"

As we wind down the week, we would like to recognize scholars, of Blytheville High School, who are apart of our District Social Media Team: Rico Moore, Allyson Reuther, Jakira Reed, Ella Miller, Ryley Walker, and Makayla Wilson. These students were hand picked from large journalism class of applicants, after a strenuous application process. The students work along side and learn valued skills such as: journalism, PR, photography, videography, writing, communication, and more from our PR/Media team. We are thankful for the work, effort, and dedication each has shown to help make sure our district is represented.
The ladies of Alpha Kappa Alpha, Sorority Incorporated, partnered with our District to provide food bags to students in our community. The CHIPP (Childhood Hunger Initiative Power Pack) Program focus on guaranteeing students have food to eat over weekends. #WeAreBSD #Tribe
Tribe,
These grades will assess for writing tomorrow as well: 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th. Remember to get a full night's rest and be on time. Every student counts! We are headed for a WiN !!
Today, the Tribe began the State Assessment beginning with the writing portion. 3rd grade began today and 4th will assess tomorrow. HS took ACT and Work Keys. It's a busy time but a perfect time to show just how much we have gained this year. Stay focused and persevere to win!
Dear Parents and Guardians,
As we approach the end of the school year, I wanted to take a moment to address an important aspect of our academic calendar: state testing. These assessments play a crucial role in measuring student progress, evaluating teaching effectiveness, and providing valuable insights into the strengths and areas for improvement within our educational system.
State testing is designed to assess students' proficiency in key subjects such as mathematics, language arts, and science. By administering standardized tests, we can gauge how well our students are mastering essential skills and knowledge required for their academic and future success. Additionally, these assessments help to ensure that our schools are meeting state and federal educational standards.
It's important to emphasize that while state testing is significant, it is just one component of our comprehensive approach to education. We recognize that each student is unique, and their abilities and achievements cannot be fully captured by a single test score. That's why we are committed to providing a well-rounded education that fosters critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills alongside academic proficiency.
We understand that state testing can sometimes be a source of stress for students, parents, and educators alike. However, it's essential to approach these assessments with a positive mindset and view them as an opportunity for growth and reflection. Our goal is to support students throughout the testing process, providing them with the resources and encouragement they need to perform at their best.
As we prepare for state testing, I encourage you to communicate openly with your child's teachers and school administrators. They can provide valuable information about the testing schedule, preparation strategies, and resources available to support your child's success. Together, we can ensure that every student has the opportunity to demonstrate their full potential on these assessments.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership in your child's education. If you have any questions or concerns about state testing or any other aspect of our academic program, please don't hesitate to reach out.
Sincerely,
Dr. Veronica Perkins
Superintendent of Schools, Blytheville School District
