PARENTS
Don't forget that Thursday, March 11th is an Early Out due to Parent/Teacher Conferences. Students will be dismissed at 1:00pm and conferences will begin at 1:30pm.
Heber Springs Schools is honored and thankful to have the support of the great citizens and businesses in our tremendous community. Our Business of the Month selection for March goes to an organization that reached out to Heber Springs Schools with a simple idea to help bring money to the school district. By designating a specific gas pump as the Spirit Pump at their location, Heber Springs Schools receives 3¢ for each gallon of gas sold on that pump. Through their card donation, our students were also able to receive student passes for all home athletic events.
We are very excited to announce that Road Runner Stores of Heber Springs has been selected as the March Business of the Month for Heber Springs Schools. Congratulations and thank you for your continued support of the students at Heber Springs Schools. Don’t forget to use the Spirit Pump at our local Road Runner Store to gas up your vehicle and to support Heber Springs Schools.

Panther Families-
I know Monday mornings are always stressful, and it looks like I have created the Monday of all Monday mornings. I am sorry for the stress, frustration, and difficulties I caused each of you this morning. I know I threw a major wrench into your normal routine, and I apologize for that. After driving yesterday, I felt confident we could have onsite school today, but after driving this morning, I was clearly mistaken. As I was driving around this morning outside of town, the roads were in good shape, but when I got into town, there were many roads that were covered with black ice. So I made a quick decision to delay school to try and prevent anyone from having an accident. Hopefully, all driving hazards were adverted.
I apologize for the short notice and the abrupt change this morning.
Again, I am sorry.
Dr. Andy Ashley
Superintendent
Please remember our busses will run the normal routes just on a 2-hour delay. If your normal pickup time is 7:15 then it will be 9:15 this morning.
Due to current road conditions, Heber Springs Schools will have a delayed start time this morning. Classes will begin at 10am. Please be careful.
Today we have driven over 100 miles on our bus routes, and the roads were clear and safe for buses to travel. Because of this, Heber Springs Schools will be in session tomorrow. School buses will run at their regular time. I know there still may be some driveways and side roads that could contain snow and ice. Please use extreme caution while traveling to school. To help alleviate any concerns, attendance will not be taken on Monday, February 22, 2021. Students not present on campus will be expected to complete their work virtually or may make-up the work when they return. Each family will need to make their own decision on what is best for them. Bus routes will be reevaluated in the morning to determine if there have been any changes to their condition. Notification will be sent if there are any changes.
THIRD TIMES A CHARM!
The Sr. High Football Banquet will be held on Tuesday, February 23rd at 6pm at the First United Methodist Church. If you have not sent an RSVP to Coach Wood already, please do so by 5pm Friday, February 19th. This banquet will be broadcasted LIVE on the Heber Springs Schools Facebook page.
What an amazing week for our Panthers in the beautiful snow. Many of our students, teachers, parents, and even future panthers took time to send in their pictures and videos. We had an overwhelming amount sent in and tagged with our #panthersnow21 on Facebook and Instagram that our video is definitely LONG! Apologies to anyone if we missed your submission. We hope you all had a wonderful week and hope that you enjoy the video. See you Monday!
