Hello Parents and Students. This year Cross Country practice will start Tuesday, August 22nd. If you plan on running Cross Country this year please be at the first practice so that I can have a full roster of everyone that is going to run. We will meet at the high school gym. Practices will be held after school and last about an hour. I will pass out schedules for the meets at the first practice.

We hope that everyone has enjoyed their summer break and we are excited to have students back on campus in the morning. Today a crew started lining and painting the new multipurpose courts behind the high school gymnasium. Until this process is completed, we ask students and families to not use the new multipurpose courts. Thank you for your cooperation and we look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow morning.
Viola Elementary School Teachers have been preparing for the new school year for the past several days. Today we had a guest speaker, Dr. Julie Lamb Milligan, from ASU Jonesboro to talk to our staff about meeting the needs of our gifted students. This was a very lively and informative presentation from which teachers were able to both learn and enjoy. I appreciate all of their hard work!! We are looking forward to a great school year. I hope to see everyone tomorrow, on the first day of school.
