Pre-K & Kindergarten roundup & registration began Monday May 12 for the 2025-26 school year at Arp Elementary. Please help us spread the word if you know anyone that may have a 3-5 year old they may be looking to enroll in school for the fall.
Needed for registration are the child's social security card, birth certificate, and shot records as well as parent/guardian's proof of residency (water or electric bill), taxes (for Pre-K registration), and photo I.D.
While registration will continue through the next two weeks, it is strongly encouraged to come take care of it as soon as possible especially for Pre-K where space is limited.

All students that improved on their MAP testing since the middle of the school year got to enjoy a growth foam party Friday.
What was even better is that the folks from The ETX Party People were super impressed with how well behaved our students are, plus the great job they did following directions, and enjoying themselves safely. They also told our principal that our school has, "Hands down the best teacher participation & attitudes of any school they have visited." And they visit tons of schools all over the area.👏👏👏
Announcing our Class of 2025 Valedictorian Claire Hilbig, and Salutatorian Sawyer Penney.
Both will attend UT Tyler, and you'll hear from them at our graduation ceremony Thursday May 22 at 7:00pm at Clark Wayne Roberts Auditorium.

With the safety of our students & staff as our top priority, we have returned to normal instruction after sheltering our students in safe interior classrooms in their respective campus buildings as severe storms passed Tuesday.
Should the situation arise, we will make the necessary adjustments and take any needed precautions based on our district weather emergency protocols.
An ambulance was called to Arp Elementary Tuesday morning to check on a staff member that was dealing with a medical situation. All students are fine. None are in any sort of need of emergency care.
Let's pray that everything turns out okay with our staff member.

A historic & fabulous season for the Arp High School Lady Tiger🐅🥎 Softball Program came to an end Saturday in Lindale.
The Lady Tigers came up short in their attempt to advance to the area round of the UIL Class 3A Div. 2 playoffs as they fell to Grand Saline 7-1 in game 2, and 6-3 in the decisive game 3.
Under first year head coach Mikaila Kenney, Arp enjoyed one of its finest seasons ever finishing 26-7. The Lady Tigers won a softball district championship for first time in school history with an 11-1 league mark. Friday they won the program's first playoff game in 15 years. They achieved their highest state ranking ever at No. 5 in Class 3A. A few of our players' individual stats are in the top 25 in the entire country. "That is not just good, that is special," Coach Kenney told her Lady Tigers.
While four outstanding seniors graduate, much of this talented and hard working group will return next school year for another run.
Enjoy Saturday's Lady Tiger highlights everyone. CLICK https://www.facebook.com/ArpHighSchool/videos/669638735999749

Friday marked our 🐅🥎 ladies first playoff game victory since 2010 as we held on to beat Grand Saline 2-0 in game one of the Class 3A Div. 2 Bi-District Rd in Lindale.
Senior catcher Aubry Way delivered what proved to be the game-winning two-run double in the top of the first inning. Then junior pitcher Lacy Fletcher threw a complete game shutout striking out eight. The Lady Tigers wrapped up the win on a tremendous heads up double play by senior centerfielder Addison Carpenter. After she caught a fly ball for the second out of the bottom of the seventh, she quickly fired to first base to catch the Lady Indians runner that had gone halfway between first and second.
Now 26-5 on the season, Arp High School took 1-0 lead in the best of 3 series.
Game two is Saturday at 2:00pm back in Lindale. Game three if needed would follow.
