Dr. Jennifer Barbaree met with the Superintendent’s Student Advisory Council today. During the meeting, students and Dr. Barbaree engaged in meaningful conversations about the school district as a whole, as well as experiences specific to their individual schools. The purpose of the council is to provide students with a voice and allow the superintendent to hear not only their concerns, but also the successes they are experiencing throughout the district.

📚✨ Our district's Librarian PLC recently had the pleasure of attending—and hosting—this quarter’s JobAlike library meeting at the SEARK Coop. Collaboration and creativity were on full display! Led by 34th Elementary librarian Wendy Camarillo, the team engaged in hands-on activities focused on creating and sharing practical programming tools that can be easily implemented back on our campuses. Special thanks to Elizabeth Wall(Southwood Elem.), Connie Jackson (Pine Bluff Jr. High), and Larissa Davis (Pine Bluff Sr. High) for helping facilitate a successful and energizing session—Pine Bluff School District librarians are connected, innovative, and always leading the way for literacy and learning.
