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.

During National Counselor's Week the Springdale School District salutes Lisa Clough of George Elementary. She is in her 14th year at the school after teaching 18 years at Smith Elementary. Her favorite aspect of her job is "making kids happy. I like helping them with their challenges and teaching them how they can learn from those challenges. I like guidance lessons." Great counselors help make Springdale Public Schools #THEChoice.
