Grateful to our local officials for their diligence.

Local officials just finished a conference call with the National Weather Service, Arkansas Division of Emergency Management, and other agencies on the upcoming winter weather. We are planning and working on coordinating our local responses efforts.

With the possibility of winter weather later this week, we will be watching for conditions that might necessitate alternate plans for transportation or school hours. We will send this information through our school social media outlets, phone alerts, and local news stations. We will make decisions as early as possible and get that information out quickly.

Debido a la posibilidad de que se presenten condiciones climáticas invernales a finales de esta semana, estaremos atentos a las condiciones que podrían requerir planes alternativos para el transporte o el horario escolar. Enviaremos esta información a través de las redes sociales de nuestra escuela, alertas telefónicas y estaciones de noticias locales. Tomaremos decisiones lo antes posible y publicaremos esa información rápidamente.

BURN BAN 🔥

We would just like to reiterate that we are under a burn ban. Local fire departments have responded to 8 fire calls the last two days. We are experiencing very dry conditions, low humidity, and unstable atmospheric conditions making it very dangerous fire weather. Please share this to get the word out.
