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.

Administration / School Staff / Parent Survey Invitation Dear Southwest Junior High Staff, Parent/Guardian, etc.: Southwest Junior High is working with the Division of Elementary & Secondary Education to implement a framework developed by Marzano Research called High Reliability Schools. As part of this process we are collecting feedback from parents, students, and staff through an online survey administered by the Hanover Research firm. Survey responses will be anonymous and data will only be reported as a group. You will see two questions in this survey that ask whether you are a European Union citizen or are currently located in the European Union (EU). Hanover Research is required to ask these questions to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation, a new EU policy that gives citizens and others traveling in the EU greater control over their personal data. The survey should take less than 10 minutes to complete. To begin, please click the following link: https://bit.ly/2TPnfjN Thank you for your time and participation!

Parents, please complete the survey if you would like to provide input on how we manage parent engagement funds. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScwqcyy9QouqrZOYnq9Hr0ueAjfLBT_hse78bAl93YRHLqNYA/viewform
