Our coaches pour their time, energy, knowledge, and heart into our Bobcat athletes. They teach discipline, teamwork, perseverance, responsibility, and the importance of showing up and giving your best. Coaches in Bobcat Nation encourage our students through the wins and the challenges, and the lessons are lifelong.
Thank you to all of our Berryville Bobcat coaches for investing in our students and helping them become better athletes, teammates, and people.
💜💛 Go Bobcats! 🐾
Our teachers educate, but they also create classrooms where children feel safe, supported, valued, and encouraged to grow.
As we recognize both World Teacher Day and Child Health Day, we are reminded of the importance of caring for every part of a child’s well-being—physical, mental, and emotional.
At Berryville School District, we are grateful for the teachers, staff, families, and community members who work together every day to help our Bobcats thrive. 🐾💜💛
Healthy children learn. Supported children grow. Caring teachers make a difference.
This meeting will provide information regarding special education services offered to public school, private school, and home school students with disabilities. If you have a child, or know of a child who may have disabilities, we encourage you to attend the meeting.
If you have any questions, please contact Crystal Fancher, Special Education Director at 870-480-4639.
Thank you for taking care of our schools and taking care of our Bobcats! 🐾
Happy School Custodian Appreciation Day!
Our principals listen, encourage, problem-solve, celebrate successes, support their staff, and show up for our students and families day after day.
We are so thankful for the heart, time, and care our principals pour into our Bobcat family. 💜💛
There are a few days in October when students will not be in school. Planning ahead helps families make arrangements and ensures everyone is prepared for the changes to our regular school schedule. Please save these dates, October 14-19, and refer to the graphic for details. 💜💛
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.
📅 Testing Schedule:

💡 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! Estas evaluaciones requeridas por el estado nos brindan información valiosa para apoyar el aprendizaje de su hijo a lo largo del año escolar.

💡 Consejos para ayudar a su hijo a tener éxito:
🛌 A descansar bien: Asegúrese de que su hijo duerma bien la noche anterior a cada examen para que esté fresco y concentrado.
🥣 Alimente la mente: Sirva un desayuno saludable en casa o haga que llegue lo suficientemente temprano para desayunar en la escuela.
⏰ Sea puntual: Lleguen con suficiente tiempo para acomodarse antes de que comiencen los exámenes.
🏫 Priorice la asistencia: Debido a que estas pruebas estatales son obligatorias, los estudiantes ausentes tendrán que hacer exámenes de reposición más adelante. ¡Por favor, evite programar citas durante los días de examen si es posible!
