Due to the current rise in positive cases and student/faculty absences, the district will be taking Alternate Means of Instruction (AMI) days on Thursday and Friday of this week.
Buses will not be running Thursday or Friday. If you are in need of a student meal for Thursday and Friday, please contact your student’s school office before 10:00am on Thursday. The meals can be picked up between 12:00pm-2:00pm on Thursday in front of the Middle School.
Please remember that the school is also out on Monday, January 17, 2022.
If your child is positive, please continue to call the school offices to report those for accounting purposes and for identifying probable close contacts.
Elementary School/Preschool
The Elementary/Preschool will be closed to on-site instruction but available for elementary-aged and pre-school students to assist with childcare. The Elementary will be sending school work packets home with each child.
Middle School/High School
The Middle School and High School will be closed to on-site instruction. The Middle School and the High School will be utilizing online assignments through Google Classroom. Students who do not have access to the internet will have time upon returning on Tuesday, January 18 to complete assignments.
Faculty/Staff
All school employees should report as normal.
This temporary closure will allow the school additional time for cleaning and sanitation of facilities and buses. It will also give students 5 days as recommended by the Department of Education and the Department of Health to quarantine/isolate from others. Our plan is to be back to full on-site learning on Tuesday, January 19, 2022. We will continue to require masks until our color improves on the ACHI.net website.
The Heber Springs Panther Trap Team is ready for you to sign up! Forms can be found in the Middle School and High School office for those interested. Remember this is for 6th thru 12th grade students only.
Forms and money are due by February 1st.
In an abundance of caution, Skills and Drills for the 4th - 6th Grade boys has been cancelled this week.
We wanted to remind you that face coverings will be required for all students, faculty, and staff of Heber Springs Schools beginning tomorrow, Monday, January 10th. This past week we had to quarantine over 100 students due to lack of face coverings and the rise of Covid once again. We are hopeful that our quarantine numbers will dwindle beginning this week and that we will be able to drop from our current status back down to orange soon.
New Quarantine Guidelines
Please take a moment to read the information page regarding Alternative School Calendars. We have several options and we would like your input.
