September School Board Meeting Recap
The Berryville School Board of Education met Monday night to hear important district updates, celebrate student growth and achievement, and take action on items that support our schools.
We are especially proud of the continued progress happening across Berryville School District. Thank you to our students, staff, families, and Board members for their commitment to ensuring high levels of learning for everyone, every day!
Check out the highlights below! 👇
🎉 GREAT THINGS ARE HAPPENING IN BERRYVILLE! 💜💛
We are proud to celebrate the release of our most recent school letter grades and the continued progress happening across Berryville School District!
⭐ Berryville School District — B
🏆 Berryville High School — A
⭐ Berryville Middle School — C
⭐ Berryville Intermediate School — B
⭐ Berryville Elementary School — B
We are especially excited to celebrate Berryville High School earning an A and being a designated Gem School for being in the top 5% for overall student growth! High math growth at the high school is also being recognized by the state.
Across our district, these results represent much more than a letter. They represent teachers working together, students rising to challenges, teams studying data, stronger instruction, and a continued focus on ensuring high levels of learning for EVERY student.
We celebrate the progress, and we also know our work continues. We will keep building on what is working, supporting areas that need growth, and maintaining high expectations across every campus.
To our teachers, staff, administrators, students, families, and community—thank you for believing in our kids and in Berryville Schools!
We have so much to celebrate and even more to look forward to.
💜💛 Proud to be a Bobcat! 💜💛
A properly worn and packed backpack can help keep our students comfortable and safe throughout the school day.
A few simple reminders:
Use both straps to distribute weight evenly.
Fit it properly so it rests comfortably in the middle of the back.
Pack smart by placing heavier items closest to the back.
Help our Bobcats carry their backpacks safely and smartly! 💜💛🐾
Today, we recognize and appreciate the IT professionals who keep our schools connected, supported, and running smoothly. Thank you for all you do for our students, staff, and Berryville School District! 💜💛
Today we celebrate the grandparents who love, encourage, support, and cheer on our Bobcats!
Thank you for the special role you play in the lives of our students and families.
We honor the lives lost, the heroes who served, and the families and communities forever changed by that day.

💡 Tips to Help Your Child Succeed:
🛌 Rest Up: Ensure your child gets a good night’s sleep before each testing day so they are fresh and focused.
🥣 Fuel the Mind: Serve a healthy breakfast at home or have them arrive early enough to eat breakfast at school.
⏰ Be on Time: Arrive with plenty of time to get settled before testing begins.
🏫 Prioritize Attendance: Because these state tests are required, absent students will have to complete make-up testing later. Please avoid scheduling appointments during testing days if possible!
¡Nuestros estudiantes tomarán las pruebas intermedias de otoño de ATLAS la próxima semana!

⏰ Sea puntual: Lleguen con suficiente tiempo para acomodarse antes de que comiencen los exámenes.

Please remember to scan your child ON and OFF the bus every time they ride. We’re sharing last year’s video again because it includes everything parents need to know. It’s a quick refresher and definitely worth watching! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5G7tauXZMlg
