Jasper School District
Dear Superintendent Brasel,
Congratulations! Kingston High, Jasper High, and Oark High have been recognized by the Office for Education Policy (OEP) at the University of Arkansas as schools where students demonstrated high growth on the ACT Aspire! As you may know, the OEP creates an annual report entitled the Outstanding Educational Performance Awards where we recognize schools with high student academic growth. We think growth is the best indicator of the positive impact that your schools are having on students.
In our High School Level report published today,
Kingston High received the following awards:
High Overall Growth (Statewide)
High Math Growth (Statewide)
High ELA Growth (Statewide)
High Overall Growth (Northwest Region)
High Math Growth (Northwest Region)
High ELA Growth (Northwest Region)
Jasper High received the following awards:
High Overall Growth (Statewide)
High ELA Growth (Statewide)
High ELA Growth (Northwest Region)
Oark High received the following award:
High ELA Growth (Statewide)
We provide badges for placement on your schools' websites (attached), and personalized paper awards will be sent to the district later this school year.
Awards are based on the 2021 content growth score calculated by the Division of Elementary and Secondary Education. These growth scores reflect how much students at the school improved from 2019 compared to how much they were expected to grow considering prior achievement. We recognize schools based on Overall growth, as well as for growth in Math and English Language Arts separately. To learn more about how we determined the OEP award winners and to see the full list of award recipients, you can view the report here.
We congratulate you on this accomplishment and hope that you will share this good news with teachers, students, and others who contributed to your schools' success.
For updates and insights, follow our blog at www.officeforedpolicy.com, and to be added to our weekly updates and roundup of education news, send an email to oep@uark.edu with the subject line "Sign me up!"
Congratulations again on your OEP Growth awards!
Sincerely,
Sarah McKenzie, Ph.D., Executive Director

Cafeteria News!
Welcome back! The Jasper Campus is so excited to announce that with help from our Agricultural teacher Mr. Dorrell and his students we will be growing some foods that will be used in the salad bar at the Jasper Campus. All our beef (hamburger meat) will be from local producers at each campus.
Breakfast and lunch will be free this year again to all students. Please fill out the meal applications on this website, http://www.schoolnutritionandfitness.com/index.php?sid=1527700677242 or from the handouts at each office. Remote meals will be available also and that application can be found at the same website.
We desperately need these turned in from each family, one application per family is sufficient. Thank you for all your assistance.
Good Eats.
Jasper School District is currently in the process of revising our Ready for Learning Plan. As part of this process, we are receiving public comments on the proposed plan. You can review the original plan as well as the proposed revised plan below.

Jasper School-Based Health Center Information
The Jasper School District's School-Based Health Center (SBHC) is located at 609 West Clark Street on the Jasper Campus. The SBHC offers medical services to all students, faculty, staff, and the entire community. The SBHC provides school-based mental health services to students.
We are proud to offer quality healthcare services that are easily accessible to the student body through our SBHC. We want to ensure that our students are healthy so they can get the most out of their educational experience. We expect that kids will miss less school because they can be seen early, treated quickly and seen right here on campus. We are also committed to partnering with parents to ensure that all kids receive preventative care as recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics.
Doctors are in the clinic on the following days:
| Monday - Thursday | 7:45 a.m. - 4:45 p.m. |
| Friday | 7:45 a.m. - 11:45 a.m. |
