We are pleased to announce that we will begin using the Raptor Visitor Management System in all of our schools to strengthen our program of campus safety for students and faculty. Part of keeping students and faculty safe is knowing who is in our buildings at all times, and the Raptor system will allow us to do that. The Raptor system will better allow us to screen visitors, contractors, and volunteers in our schools and provide us with a safer environment for our students and staff.
Upon entering a district building, visitors will be asked to present an ID such as a Driver’s License, which can either be scanned or manually entered into the system. If a parent or guardian for any reason does not have a US government-issued ID, the school staff member can use any form of identification and manually enter the person’s name into the Raptor system. The Raptor system will check to ensure that registered sexual offenders are not entering our school campuses without our knowledge. The Raptor system checks the visitor's name and date of birth for comparison with a national database of registered sex offenders. The registered sex offender database is the only official database checked by the Raptor system. No other data from the ID is gathered or recorded and the information is not shared with any outside agency. Once entry is approved, Raptor will issue a badge that identifies the visitor, the date, and the purpose of his/her visit. A visitor’s badge will not be necessary for those who visit our schools simply to drop off an item in the office or pick up paperwork.
The safety of our students is our highest priority and the Raptor visitor management system allows us to quickly identify those that may present a danger to our students. Thank you in advance for your understanding and your support in enhancing the school safety protocols in our district.

Bobcats, we are excited to introduce Jessica Hudec as a new teacher!
"Hello! I’m Jessica Hudec, and I’m thrilled to be joining the Bobcat family as a first-grade teacher! I grew up in Green Forest and have lived in Philadelphia, Savannah, and Hawaii, but eventually made my way back to Arkansas. My two youngest children attend Berryville and stay busy with sports—Go Bobcats! My oldest recently earned her bachelor’s degree from the College of Charleston. My path to teaching began while I was substitute teaching — I quickly discovered that it was more than just a job; it was a passion. I then worked as a paraprofessional alongside some truly inspiring educators while completing my own bachelor’s degree in elementary education.I’m excited to bring my energy and love of learning to the classroom. I can’t wait to grow and learn alongside my students this year!" Welcome, Jessica!

Justin Ellis is now a Bobcat! "My name is Justin Ellis and I’m from Marked Tree, Arkansas. I’m the new Offensive Coordinator and Head Track & Field Coach, and I will be teaching high school PE. This will be my 5th year coaching high school football. I spent my last 2 years with the traditional powerhouse Rivercrest High School football program. I have nothing but love and praise for all the coaches, and all the players I’ve coached there. I’m a huge Arkansas Razorback, Oklahoma City Thunder, and Dallas Cowboys fan. My favorite Razorback football game I’ve ever been to was the Texas game in 2021, and my favorite basketball game was Kentucky @ home in 2022. My favorite Thunder game is in the picture, which was my first home game in Oklahoma City for game 1 of the NBA Finals. I’m also pretty big into the UFC, fishing, and I’m looking to pick up golf. In my spare time, I enjoy watching my favorite teams play, various leisure activities, and spending time with my girlfriend, friends, and family. I’m extremely excited and blessed to be apart of the Berryville family, and looking forward to contributing to a successful season. Go Bobcats! "
