**Access to federal funds for families in Arkansas with the Child Tax Credit**
Families with no income or low income could get at least $3,000 per child with the Child Tax Credit, plus $1400 with the third stimulus payment - even if they have never filed taxes before (and if they have not yet already filed taxes this year).
There is now an easy form for people to file on their mobile devices in 15 minutes or less in English or Spanish. People have until November 15 to sign up this year at GetCTC.org/arschools.

Hey Everyone! Just a friendly reminder that we no longer take transportation change requests after 2:45pm everyday. We have a busy afternoon routine and for the safety of our students and getting them in the right spot it is easier to have a cut off time to allow us to direct them to the right location in the afternoons. We appreciate your cooperation at this time! #GOBOMBERS
