ATLAS Screener

Students in grades Kindergarten through 3rd will be testing September 2-5.

The ATLAS Screener is an Arkansas K-3 state-mandated assessment system designed to identify students at risk in early literacy and math skills. Administered at the beginning of the school year, these computer-based screeners provide teachers with data to drive instruction, determine readiness for grade-level work, and inform targeted interventions or enrichment for students. Parents can access their child's results and receive at-home support strategies through the online family portal

At Des Arc Elementary School, our mission is a shared commitment among staff, parents, and students to work together in preparing children to become competent, responsible citizens. We strive to provide a safe and supportive learning environment where academic success and the social, emotional, and physical development of every child are equally prioritized.

By fostering self-discipline, self-reliance, and accountability, Des Arc Elementary equips learners with strong foundational skills in math, language arts, science, social studies, and the arts. We emphasize effective communication—reading, writing, listening, and speaking—and encourage critical thinking and practical application of knowledge.

Des Arc Elementary School is proud to be a place where students thrive, teachers inspire, and the community stands united in support of education. We are especially proud of the many achievements that mark our school’s success. These accomplishments are a true testament to the unwavering support we receive from our families and the greater Des Arc community. With this strong foundation, Des Arc Elementary has consistently ranked as one of the top-rated schools in the state of Arkansas.

Together, we are shaping learners who are not only academically prepared but also socially aware, emotionally resilient, and ready to thrive in the world beyond the classroom. At Des Arc Elementary, excellence is not just a goal—it’s a tradition.

All teachers at Des Arc Elementary are proficient or aware in SoR as required by The Right to Read Act, amended by Act 489 of 2021, which mandated that by the start of the 2023-2024 school year, teachers in elementary education (K-6) and special education (K-12) demonstrate proficiency in scientific reading instruction, while all other teachers must demonstrate awareness.
