John Tyson Elementary

Dear Parents, We will have a drive through AMI pick up at our school's car rider line this Thursday, April 2nd, from 9:00-3:00. Please have your car rider tag displayed (if you have one) and no one sitting in the passenger seat. Please stay in your car for social distancing reasons. As you drive forward someone will bring you the AMI packet along with the 3rd quarter report card. If you are not able to come at this time, please contact the school to make arrangements. The packets will also be available online and in Spanish and Marshallese. If you have library books at home that belong to the school and you are finished with them, we will collect them on Thursday. If students are finished with their first AMI packet, you can bring that with you as well. If you have any questions, please contact your child's teacher or the office at 479-750-8862. Thank you, Mrs. Poage, Principal

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.
