Important 2022-23 Breakfast and Lunch Information: For the past two years, every Mayflower student has eaten breakfast and lunch for free due to federal funding. Unfortunately, the funding to provide free meals to all students ran out this summer. This year the cost for breakfast will be $2.00 per student, and the cost of lunch will be $3.00 for elementary students and $3.25 for middle and high school students. We encourage all families to complete the free/reduced lunch application (even if you think you may not qualify). Simply completing the application helps the school district. You can find the application here: https://family.titank12.com/application/new?lang=English

In the afternoon, buses will pick up elementary students at 4:10pm, middle school at 4:15pm, and high school at 4:20pm. Please be patient with our drivers and staff as we get into a routine and can better estimate when students will arrive home.

This request for input is being shared with stakeholders from ForwARd Arkansas.
ForwARd Arkansas is a nonprofit focused on the state-wide improvement of education in Arkansas.
Earlier this summer, Forward launched a new project, in partnership with DESE, called the "State of Education in Arkansas."
If you'd be willing, we would love to have your input and voice as a part of this project.
Over the next many months, we will be coordinating an extensive effort to gather as much input as possible from district leaders, school leaders, educators, and families across Arkansas. Our plan is that this project will lead to a report that elevates:
Where the state has made progress in education over the last 5 years
Where we are currently, especially in light of the COVID pandemic
Critical education priorities for the next 5 years informed by those in districts, schools, and communities
We have launched a brief survey (5 to 7 mins) that is appropriate for any stakeholder.
We hope you'll join us in this process. Thanks for your consideration!
