It was a big weekend for CMS Engineering Eagles robotics teams! On Saturday, we hosted a tournament here for 24 elementary and middle schools teams from around the state. At that tournament, our 2024B team (Hadley MDougald, Kimrey Christy, and John Henry Harris) won the Design Award for their engineering notebook. Then yesterday we attended a tournament in Lake Village where our 2024E team (Ava Grant, Isabel Ross, and Joshua Staley) won the Design Award and were named the Teamwork Champions!! This team gets to compete in the State Championship on April 6th in Hot Springs.

At approximately 11:59 a.m. today, Wednesday, March 3, 2021, the Crossett High School Resource Officer heard a call over his radio of gunfire on either 8th or 9th street directly in front of the high school. This prompted a temporary lockdown of the high school facility. It is unknown, but it is presumed it was concerning an animal and not targeted at the school. Everything has been cleared, and we have resumed our regular schedule.

Due to inclement weather, Crossett School District will pivot to remote learning for all students through Thursday, February 18, 2021, with a decision being made later in the week about school being open on Friday. Instruction will continue through Google Classroom for Tuesday through Thursday with teachers being available through email to provide support. Stay safe and warm.

What is Engage Arkansas? For many students, going from a traditional classroom to learning from home can be a real challenge. Arkansas’ Department of Elementary and Secondary Education has partnered with Graduation Alliance to provide an extra layer of support for students in grades k-12 and their families who might be struggling with these changes. Students who choose to participate in the program will get an academic coach to work with them to answer questions, connect them with resources, and develop a plan to get on track and finish the school year strong.
