Next week is Spring Break, take a break from school work! AMI days will resume on Monday, March 30 with AMI Day 5 Packet. You have enough AMI packets to complete through Monday, April 6. More information regarding additional AMI Packets will be sent out at a later date.
Prom has been rescheduled for June 4.
All banquets and other extra activities have been canceled until further notice.
Graduation date is still scheduled for May 3 @ 2 p.m.
Beginning on Monday, March 30, we will provide lunch to students via bus routes. Buses will leave the cafeteria at 11 a.m., Monday-Friday for the three weeks after Spring Break. Students who want a free lunch need to watch for the bus to come by their stop and meet the bus at the end of their drive to get their food. Routes will be run like they are after school. Example: Buses leave here at 3:15 each afternoon. If your child arrives home around 3:30, then lunch will be at your house around 11:15 (15 minutes after they leave cafeteria). A menu will be posted next week.
Again, we appreciate your patience and understanding as we tread through this uncharted territory together.

Parents/Students: Friday (3/20), AMI Day 4 Packet is assigned. Reminder, all work will be turned in when we return to school. Work is for a grade and students will be counted absent if the work isn't complete. These absences will count against high school students for test exemption.
The latest update from Governor Hutchinson will close school through April 17. The ADE has granted schools an additional 15 AMI days. Our students currently have enough work to get through the week after Spring Break. More information will be sent out when we get a schedule to get additional AMI packets to students. We currently have no option but to cancel Prom. Our hope is to have it in late May or early June if necessary. The graduation date is still good as of now. Updates will be sent out as we get more information and decisions are made. We urge you to follow the direction of the AR Dept of Health and the CDC. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we get through these difficult times.
