Many families have already started their back-to-school shopping, so we wanted to send a quick reminder to all PCSSD families about our new backpack policy for next year.
**All backpacks must be CLEAR or MESH for the 2025-2026 school year.**
If you have any questions about this policy, please contact the Student Services Dept. at (501) 234-2015.

Hey SHMS families! 🐻
Do you have a new 6th grader or a 7th grader coming back this year? We’re hosting some relaxed school tours in July so you and your student can get to know the building and feel more at home. You’ll also get a chance to meet Principal Hudgeons and ask any questions about the upcoming year.
Just come to the main entrance on one of the tour dates—we’d love to see you there and help everyone feel ready for a great start!

Happy Juneteenth! 🎉 Juneteenth became a federal holiday in 2021, but it's been observed since 1865 to mark when the last enslaved people in Texas learned they were free! You can celebrate by supporting Black-owned businesses or attending a local event.
