The Arkansas Department of Education (ADE) is pleased to announce a new partnership with Care Solace, an organization dedicated to improving access to mental health care, substance use treatment and social services. Through this collaboration, all Arkansas school districts will have access to Care Solace’s care coordination services.

Care Solace serves as a central hub to help school districts connect students with mental health, substance use, and social service providers. A multilingual Care Companion team is available 24/7/365 to identify resources that fit each student’s unique needs and insurance requirements, and to facilitate timely appointments. Services can be accessed confidentially using a self-service search tool or through a Warm Handoff referral made by school support staff. Registration and training information for school support staff statewide will be announced soon.

Ms. Rodgers’ 8th Grade Enhanced Social Studies students recently completed a hands-on project called “Civil War Battle Boxes.”

Each student was assigned a specific Civil War battle and tasked with recreating it in a shoebox diorama. Along with their detailed models, students also created a one-page written summary explaining the key events, strategies, and outcomes of their battle.

Thank you, Mrs. Rodgers, for a creative and engaging way to make history come alive!

Tonight, we were proud to recognize outstanding WHS students during the school board meeting!

The WHS Educators Rising teams will compete at the State Conference on Thursday at ASU Beebe. Team members Kelsie Cobb, Jaxson Hines, Darcy Ford, and Destinee Tate, along with their teacher Lindsay James, shared information about their upcoming competitions and the work they’ve put in to prepare.

We also recognized the WHS Boys Bowling Team for winning the 4A State Championship! The team will compete in the state finals on Friday, and we wish them the very best as they continue their incredible season.

Mrs. Jarman’s 8th Grade Science students have been busy learning about how the sun’s angle changes throughout the year!

Using flashlights to model sunlight, students observed how the angle of light affects how much energy reaches an area. They measured, calculated, and saw firsthand why sunlight is more intense in some seasons than others.

It’s been a great example of hands-on learning in action at WHS! ❤️🤍

The Westside Jr High Quiz Bowl team finished their season on a high note, finishing 3rd in the State Tournament (Blue Division.)

Sawyer Nix (8th grade) received medals for both All-Conference and All-State, and finished in the top 12 of all competitors in 4A.

Congratulations, Warriors! ❤️🤍
