Heber Springs Week 8 Weekly recap with Dr. Ashley https://youtu.be/m3FTUDgHWLY

|STUFF THE BUS| Okay Panther Nation...it is time once again to get ready for the Battle of the Little Red and that means it’s time to STUFF THE BUS! This year the Community Impact Award-Stuff the Bus competition will be a little different. We want you to start collecting those diapers, wipes, and non-perishable food items (Mac&cheese,applesauce, peanut butter crackers, etc.) and bring them anytime between 8:00-4:00, October 26-28 to STUFF THE BUS. Remember that the count is calculated by the number of individual items collected...so a box of 250 diapers counts as 250 items. We are continuing with the Fight Like a Kid fundraiser as well. You can drop off your donation at First Arkansas Bank & Trust and tell them to deposit it into the Fight Like a Kid account by NOON on Friday, October 30th. Last year we were able to grant the wish for one child living with cancer in the Cleburne County community...this year we want to raise enough money to grant the wish for TWO kids...AND WE CAN DO IT! The Battle of the Little Red will be on Friday, October 30 at 7pm at Clinton. #thisyearwewinboth

|PANTHER NATION| On Wednesday, October 14, the Administration at Heber Springs Schools was made aware of a positive COVID-19 case at Heber Springs Schools. The Administration has contacted the Arkansas Department of Health for further guidance, and through contact tracing by the ADH and HSSD, the individuals who were at risk for primary exposure have been contacted. The Administration will continue to closely monitor this situation moving forward. I want to thank the families of those impacted for their patience and understanding as we worked through this situation. Dr. Andy Ashley

|ATTENTION PARENTS| We want to remind you that Monday, October 19th is a Virtual Day for all students of Heber Springs Schools. This date has been posted on the school calendar. In the past, this day was a Professional Development day for our teachers and students would not have been on campus anyway; however, when the Governor pushed the school start date back to August 24th, we needed to find a way to make up those days without adding them on to the end of the school year. The idea of the Virtual Day was a way to give the anticipated break but still have it counted as a school day for our students. All students will have an assignment from their teachers on this day and are expected to complete the work by the due date. If you have questions, you will be able to email the teacher(s) for assistance. All students should know how to login to Google Classroom and any other website to check for the assignments. If you have any questions or concerns about the Virtual Day or issues with internet service, please contact Bahar Pruitt BEFORE Thursday, October 15th you can call or send a text to 501-206-1546 or email at bahar.pruitt@hssd.k12.ar.us. Please list the name of your student and what school building they attend.
