Recently our AVID seniors visited Harding University campus. Students attended Black & Gold Day where they gained insightful information on the opportunities available at Harding. Students attended college classes, received information about scholarships, toured the campus, and received a delicious meal of their choice. They had a great time learning about this choice for life after high school!

The safety and well-being of our students is always our priority. If your child has a life-threatening allergy that requires the use of an EpiPen, it is essential that you provide the school with a current, prescribed EpiPen to be kept on campus.

Having an EpiPen readily available at school ensures that we can respond immediately and effectively in the event of an allergic reaction. Allergic emergencies can happen suddenly, and quick access to this medication can help save a life.

Please take the following steps as soon as possible:
- Send a labeled, unexpired EpiPen to school.
- Ensure that the school nurse has an up-to-date allergy action plan for your child.
- Keep the school informed of any changes to your child's medical needs.

We deeply appreciate your partnership in keeping our students safe. If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact the school office or nurse at 501-490-5700.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this important matter.
