Introducing our new Chiefs Mission Briefing! ⭐

Each week, we’ll share a quick look at upcoming events, important dates, reminders, and everything our Pea Ridge families need to know for the week ahead. Our mission is simple: keep our Chiefs informed, prepared, and connected! 💙

Be sure to check in each week so you’re ready for the mission ahead. Mission Possible!

Thank you to our school board member, Ms. Sanborn, for visiting PRE and for the DUO Dollars contribution to help support our Chiefs!

Pea Ridge is excited to continue using Beanstack, a fun, gamified reading platform that helps students build strong reading habits while celebrating their progress along the way!

With Beanstack, students can:
📖 Log their reading and build daily reading streaks
🏅 Earn badges and celebrate achievements
🏆 Participate in reading challenges and climb the leaderboards
👫 Connect with friends and see what they’re reading

Families can access Beanstack through Rapid Identity on the web or download the Beanstack app on a mobile device.
Check out the graphics below for step-by-step directions for getting started, and encourage your Chief to start logging those reading minutes! ❤️📚

Happy reading, Chiefs!
