State Atlas Testing will be administered to all eligible elementary and high school students during the week of May 5th through May 8th. The Elementary will only be testing on Tuesday and Wednesday, while the High School will be testing all week. These state-mandated assessments are a critical measure of student learning and school performance. They provide valuable data that helps us understand each student’s academic progress and informs our efforts to continually improve instruction. We kindly ask for your support in ensuring your child is prepared for these important assessments.
You can help your child by:
• Encouraging a positive mindset and effort
• Making sure your child gets a good night’s sleep before testing days
• Ensuring your child arrives at school on time
• Eat a healthy breakfast to stay focused
• Avoiding scheduling appointments during testing times
• Bring all necessary items to be successful on the test
If you have any questions or concerns about the test, please contact the Viola School District.

Thank you for your continued support of your child’s education and success. Together, we can help them perform at their best.

After graduating from University of Central Arkansas in 2006, with a Bachelor of Science degree in Political Science and minor in English, Stacy began law school at the William H.
