Wednesday begins the new school year and we want to be sure that our Peake car rider families and our community are aware of the morning and afternoon traffic flow.
Please follow the outlined routes on the images attached. The second graphic explains where vehicles should stage if traffic on Caddo St. exceeds 16th St.
Our partners at the Arkadelphia Police Department will be on-site to ensure smoother traffic flow. We appreciate your patience as we work through these first few weeks of school.
On our district professional development day at OBU, Dr. Tyler Tarver presented a session on the power of AI in education to our certified staff. He offered some practical tools for AI use in the classroom to support student success. He wrapped up the high-energy presentation with a friendly competition that highlighted AHS English Teacher Beverly Slavens. She and Mr. Brown walked away with nice rewards from the activity. Tyler, thank you for coming to Arkadelphia! #BadgerPride
