Eureka Springs School District

A BIG shoutout to our National Guard recruiters who stopped by on Friday to help us celebrate our high school students’ first full week of school! They treated everyone to popsicles and even got a little friendly competition going with a push-up challenge! 💪 Thank you for taking the time to hang out with our students and help us end the week on a fun note. We appreciate you! ❤️🖤

Elementary Title 1 Parent Information/Game Night will be held Tuesday, September 1st. Each grade level team will have three 20 minute presentations. Sessions will start promptly at 4:15, 4:45: and 5:15 in the designated grade level classrooms. Come learn about curriculum and other programs used with our students.

PLEASE NOTE: In order to minimize distractions during presentations, we will ask that late arrivals wait for the next session to begin. We can't wait to see you there and grow our partnerships with our wonderful families!
