The Seniors will walk through the hallways to be celebrated by Walker teachers and students. Our current students will be thrilled to see you walking in your cap and gown. Celebration music will be playing and, of course, high-5s are expected! After your celebration walk, we will have a short assembly followed by a reception in your honor with your former teachers.

Kindergarten enrollment starts March 1st! If your child attends our Pre-K program, you will not register online but you will be given other instructions from the teacher. If you have questions, please call Walker Elementary at (479)750-8874.

The Lightbox Learning Classroom Solutions are web-based products that have everything you need to help your child discover the joy of learning. Each digital title comes packed with unique, fully integrated multimedia features, including embedded videos, slideshows, and curated weblinks. High-quality audio narration helps students improve literacy. Please help your child read books on devices at home. Time spent reading will help your child learn to read and to read to learn!

If you need an interpreter our ESL office available 8 am - 4 pm. Ms. Gaby is also able to answer questions in Spanish at Walker from 7:30-4:00. We have a school program for parents to learn English while also learning how to support their child's learning needs. Please see the information below to join our Springdale Family Literacy Program.
