To the Springdale Community,
Student and staff health and safety is the number one concern of Springdale Public Schools. Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson and Secretary of Education Johnny Key recommend school districts in counties without a presumptive case remain open in order to not disrupt community life, especially meal services for children and health services for all. The CDC guidance on COVID-19 is that short to medium duration school closings are not recommended. The major request is for good judgment be in place for hygiene for all students and staff along with social distancing. Springdale Public Schools will remain open.

Helen Tyson Middle School is having a very informative event tomorrow night about dealing with social media, technology, etc. They wanted to invite our parents since we are a feeder school. This will be a great night!
Our staff is amazing! They stayed until 6:30 Monday evening learning more about how kids learn to read. Friday after school, Ms. Tyree had a spa party for the student who won that experience at the action at Night of the Arts (plus a few more friends). So thankful for our school family.

We love books at Westwood Elementary! Our awesome 2nd grade team presented a Reader’s Theatre to their students yesterday, and our 4th graders are loving book clubs!
It was a fabulous Friday at Westwood Elementary!
