Abril, que es el Mes nacional de concientización sobre los conductores distraídos, es un buen momento para reagruparnos y asumir la responsabilidad de las decisiones que tomamos cuando estamos en la carretera.

April, which is national Distracted Driving Awareness Month, is a good time to regroup and take responsibility for the choices we make when we’re on the road. See the flyer for School Zone Safety tips.

¡Buenas tardes familia Springdale! El gobernador Asa Hutchinson anunció el levantamiento del mandato estatal de cubrirse el rostro; sin embargo, el requisito de la escuela Springdale de cubrirse la cara sigue vigente en este momento. Esta tarde, el Comisionado Key brindó orientación para que los distritos desarrollen un Plan para las actividades de fin de año en el campus y la continuidad de la instrucción. Este plan incluye una revisión de la política del distrito sobre las carátulas. Actualmente estamos procesando la guía en preparación para el desarrollo del plan. La junta escolar revisará el plan de Springdale en su reunión programada regularmente el 13 de abril a las 5:00 pm. La familia Springdale ha sido resistente durante este año escolar. Terminar fuerte es una prioridad para todos y agradecemos su colaboración para que eso suceda. Jared A. Cleveland, Ed.D. Superintendent Springdale Public Schools

Good afternoon Springdale Family! Governor Asa Hutchinson announced the lifting of the statewide mandate for face coverings; however, the Springdale School’s requirement for face coverings remains in effect at this time. This afternoon, Commissioner Key provided guidance for districts to develop a Plan for End-of-Year On-Campus Activities and Continuity of Instruction. This plan includes a review of district policy on face coverings. We are currently processing the guidance in preparation for plan development. The school board will review the Springdale plan at its regularly scheduled meeting on April 13th at 5:00 pm. The Springdale Family has been resilient through this school year. Finishing strong is a priority for everyone and we appreciate your partnership to make that happen. Jared A. Cleveland, Ed.D. Superintendent Springdale Public Schools

This week has been a challenging week on many fronts but there has also been a lot of good! Let’s give a shout out to the over 150 custodial and maintenance staff who worked around the clock to keep our buildings in top shape!They worked on frozen pipes, clearing parking lots and sidewalks, plowed snow and maintained the HVAC units. Let’s give a shout out to the Principals and teachers from each building who worked to connect with each family ensuring safety and educational enrichment during this time. We had some fun this week! We loved seeing all the pictures of how families combined education with snow time fun. Tomorrow, Friday February 19 will be a remote teaching and learning day. Let’s finish this week strong, with positive energy and take the time to say thank you and encouraging words to each other. This is what make our community great! Esta semana ha sido una semana desafiante en muchos frentes, ¡pero también ha sido muy bueno! ¡Demos un saludo a los más de 150 conserjes y personal de mantenimiento que trabajaron las veinticuatro horas del día para mantener nuestros edificios en óptimas condiciones! Trabajaron en tuberías congeladas, despejaron estacionamientos y aceras, quitaron nieve y mantuvieron las unidades de HVAC. Demos un saludo a los directores y maestros de cada edificio que trabajaron para conectarse con cada familia para garantizar la seguridad y el enriquecimiento educativo durante este tiempo. ¡Nos divertimos un poco esta semana! Nos encantó ver todas las imágenes de cómo las familias combinaban la educación con la diversión en la nieve. Mañana viernes 19 de febrero será un día de enseñanza y aprendizaje a distancia. Terminemos esta semana fuertes, con energía positiva y tomémonos el tiempo para agradecer y animarnos mutuamente. ¡Esto es lo que hace que nuestra comunidad sea excelente!
