Mr. Trent Alexander (along with other volunteers) spends several mornings a week greeting students as they arrive at Mountain Home High School in the mornings. This morning he dressed as a representative of "The Big Guy" and made an appearance at the high school staff Christmas celebration. Thanks to Mr. Trent for making the world a little brighter every day!

Bomber Families,
We’re watching forecasts closely and will be in touch if necessary. We shared this back in December, but here’s a little reminder about our inclement weather procedures:
• We will do our best to make cancellation/delay decisions the night before, but as you know, sometimes that is not possible.
• If we have to cancel in the morning, we will do our very best to have that announcement to you all before our first bus is scheduled to take off around 5 a.m.
• If we need to run snow routes for our buses, a copy of those routes can be found here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1fRlENdg-GdHjW5P6520tVWk8hoLnazsr
• We will use our district’s alert system to make these announcements, so please make sure your child’s school has the correct phone numbers and email addresses on file. If you get our weekly update videos, we already have your correct information. We also update the local media of any closings, cancellations, delays, or early releases.
• If you do not hear from us – through our alert system or through local news outlets – that means we ARE having school.
• If we release school early due to inclement weather, we will send your child home in normal fashion. If you have alternate plans for your young children on early release days, please make sure their teachers are aware.
• If we release early, our Flight Crew program will not be open, so please make your child’s teacher aware of how they will be getting home.
Our calendar this year has five built-in snow days. There are no digital learning days, but if we miss five days or less this year, we will not have to make up any days. If we miss more than five days, we will use our emergency use days (in order) as they are listed on our district calendar, which is also available on our website.

Bomber Update: Mrs. Dewey discusses the bus accident that happened last weekend, and she gives praise to all involved in the situation. https://youtu.be/1MeSlkCyIUE
Today Sgt. Britt Clements and TFC Clint Henderson of the Arkansas State Police visited Mr. Meurer's Foundations of Law Enforcement class. They spoke with students about accident investigation, explaining not only how it’s done, but why it’s done that way. They did an excellent job engaging the class and even had students using calculators to determine a vehicle’s speed. It was a great hands-on learning experience for everyone involved.
Welcome Back!
