Students and staff were excited to walk in Monday morning and see our annual Fall display. Thank you to community members, Melinda Eskridge and Sue Ewan! You outdid yourselves!
ESES Families,
Attendance is so important for student success, and we need your help! One in four ESES students is chronically absent. This has been a trend for many years. While we certainly understand absences related to student illness, especially during this challenging time, it is more important than ever to schedule appointments and trips after school hours or during scheduled breaks. Please call the school nurse when your child is ill. Student absences may be excused by the nurse if your child needs to quarantine. Thank you for helping us meet our attendance goals and better serve our students during this difficult time.
Thank you to Brynna, Julie and everyone at Eureka Springs School of the Arts for donating supplies and bringing in a guest artist to our elementary school. Thank you to our guest artist and teacher Ms. Sarah! She taught our 3rd and 4th graders a new printmaking technique! Students were able to create their own pencil pouches, unity flags to share with another school and hand printed bags: one bag to donate, and one bag to keep. Students learned how they can use their art to raise awareness for special causes. We love our community! Thank you to all! -Ms. Shelby ❤️

Eureka Springs Schools will provide school supplies for all students this year!
The Eureka Springs Hospital will be having a vaccination clinic for any staff or students who would like to receive the Pfizer Vaccine ages 12 and up. The clinic will be held on Thursday, August 12th in the Middle School Gym from 2:00pm - 5:00pm. This will be a two dose series. We plan to schedule another vaccine clinic at the school for the 2nd dose in three weeks. You will be notified of that when scheduled.
In light of the current situation with the Delta Variant of Covid-19 and in an effort to ensure all learners are successful, Eureka Springs School District is considering a virtual learning option for the 2021-22 school year.
If you are a parent/guardian in the Eureka Springs District, we are asking for your input. Please complete an online interest survey at https://forms.gle/vMh6FW6y8nBd6QbZ9.
Responding that your student is interested in a virtual learning option does NOT represent a commitment that a virtual option will be available. The data collected in this survey will be used for planning purposes only.
We appreciate your feedback!
Hi! My name is Alexis Newman and I am excited to be joining Eureka Springs Schools as a music teacher and choir director! I grew up in Fort Smith, Arkansas and attended college at the University of Arkansas. While at the University of Arkansas, I participated in many music ensembles including the Razorback Marching band (as a piccolo player and a majorette), Inspirational Chorale, Women’s Chorus, Wind Symphony, and Latin Music Ensemble. I graduated with a Bachelor of Music with high distinction in May of 2021 after completing internships at Jannie Darr Elementary in Rogers and Springdale High School.
As a music educator, I aim to provide students with joyful musical experiences each day. In my class students will be introduced to tools that will allow them to become life-long music makers in the genre of their interest while also being exposed to repertoire essential in any comprehensive music education. I believe that the best way to learn about music is by making music through play and exploration.
The town of Hindsville is where I now call home. My free time is normal spent with my fiancé and my puppy. I enjoy watching movies, especially Audrey Hepburn movies. I like to express my creativity by baking and decorating cakes. I do a lot of traveling in the summer and visited San Francisco, Napa Valley, Lake Tahoe, Reno, and Las Vegas, and Marco Island just this past summer.
We are excited to announce that Eureka Springs School now has an app. Keep up with district and/or building updates, events, deadlines, etc. Look for this logo and check it out!
