Hi! My name is Heidi Wolfinbarger. I am excited to be a part of the Eureka Springs School District. I will be working as a Special Education Paraprofessional. I have been a substitute teacher in the elementary since 2019. I have an associates in General Education. I graduated from Berryville High School. I'm a dog momma to two dogs. I have a miniature pinscher/chihuahua (Dakota) and a long haired miniature dachshund (Daisy).
I enjoy spending time with my nephews in my free time. I also love to paint with acrylics. I look forward to building relationships with the students and staff.
A big thanks to Eureka Springs Rotary Club and the Crescent Hotel for a delicious back to school Teacher Luncheon! We are so thankful for your ongoing support of our district! ✏️

Welcome back, Scotties! We are so excited to be starting the 21-22 school year! Some important information for our elementary families:
FIRST DAY of school for students with last names starting with A-K is August 16.
FIRST DAY of school for students with last names starting with L-Z is August 17.
ALL students will be on campus beginning August 18.
We will have many of the same Covid procedures in place as last year. Safety is always our first priority! Students will be screened upon arrival to school. Car riders will have their temperatures checked at their cars prior to unloading. Masks will be required for all students, staff and visitors. Visitors will only be admitted with a scheduled appointment.
We are providing extra cleaning and disinfecting of the building throughout the day. Additional sanitizing is provided daily after school hours. Student handwashing is also built into our schedule.
Student desks are distanced and desk shields are provided as an extra layer of protection.
The district has implemented a clear backpack policy for all students. Mesh backpacks are fine.
We are working to add a virtual option for K-12 families who would prefer remote learning. We are partnering with Edgenuity, and the majority of student instruction would be from the Edgenuity learning platform. Please watch for more information regarding this new option.
We hope to see you all at Open House tomorrow from 3:00-4:30!
