The ballgames at Cotter for Friday, October 30 have been cancelled because of no referees for the games.

The team that we were scheduled to play next friday on Homecoming night has been quarantined.  We have moved the Homecoming festivities to December 11.  Please spread the word that Homecoming will NOT be Nov 6.  Those games have been cancelled.

We have made some changes to our previous basketball schedule.  Please see the updated schedule on our webpage. You can find the updated schedule by clicking on this link.

Charity Littrell- 7th grade

Tonight our junior teams travel to Flippin for games.  Flippin did not send us tickets.  They are letting people enter on a first come first serve basis.  Their gates open between 4:00 and 4:30 today. 

Come out and support the Pirates.  Flippin has a large gym so there should be room for the Pirate Nation to show up!

Tuesday, October 27th we will be having a financial aid night for seniors and parents of seniors from 4-6:30 pm.  The financial aid department from Ozarka will be on hand to answer any questions you might have.  You will be able to complete your FAFSA this night for your child to go to college next fall. It will be filled out using the parent's 2018 taxes. There was a sign up sheet that allowed seniors to sign up for a timeslot last week.  Please check with your child to see if they signed up.  If they didn't and you would like to, please call Mrs. Stephanie at 870-297-3745.  We will practice social distancing and wear masks. Please only come during a time you signed up for as it allows us to limit the number of people congregated.

If you don't have an entrance ticket from an athlete, we can not guarantee that you will be able to enter the gym.

We have some extra tickets available for the games on Thursday, October 22 if you would like to come by the office at the high school and pick them up.  

They will be on a first come first serve basis.

You can also call 870-297-3745 for more information.

Senior Beta collected items for the Operation Shoe Box Christmas Child program this past week. The items were donated and will be assembled and mailed by Dolph Baptist Church. We donated about 500 items for the project.

Parent Teacher conferences are Thursday at both campuses until 6:30.  

There is also a home basketball game at the high school gym but we will be conducting conferences as well. Please come in the front door and we will have someone handing out report cards and teachers will be available to speak with confidentially.  If you would rather speak with a teacher via email, phone, or Zoom please call our office or contact that teacher and set an appt.  

Parents, if you have not had an opportunity to respond to your child's teacher concerning parent teacher conferences; please let the teacher know if you would like to conduct your meeting through phone, zoom, email or other methods. Thank you for your cooperation. 

Please remember to wear your Orange tomorrow (Wednesday Oct 21) for UNITY Day!!!

The Calico Rock School District will be giving Flu Shots on October 15 for students and staff members.  

Forms have been sent home with the students and they will need to be filled out entirely and returned to school before they will be allowed to receive a Flu Shot.

For questions or help, please call Kaye Arnold (School Nurse) 870-297-3745 at the High School or 870-297-8533 at the Elementary.

Just a reminder!

If you don't have an entrance ticket from an athlete we can not guarantee that you will be able to enter for the black and orange games.  Everyone needs a ticket.  If we have some spare tickets we will give them out first come first serve.  We will mass text to let everyone know if there are some available.

Remember we will be live streaming so now's the time to plan your watch party and cheer on the Pirates!
