These are the men and women behind the scene who work hard for our students, teachers, and staff each and every day. We appreciate everything that they do for us at Heber Springs Schools and we are so thankful to have such amazing people at our amazing school district. THANK YOU

|FIRSTIES|
After reading The Leaf Man, Ms Patchin’s class used their “iPhones” to record and collect nature to make their own leaf creations.
|LOGIN PROBLEMS|
This message was just sent to us by our IT Director....
“Microsoft Azure AD is currently down all over the country. This will likely keep our students from logging into all of their chrome books and services like google classroom, e-mail, etc. There is currently no estimated time of when it will be fixed by Microsoft.”
|FLU SHOT|
Forms will be sent home today for this year’s Flu Clinic. They must be completed and returned NO LATER THAN October 7th. Forms for Remote Panthers will be available in the building offices. The clinic will be held October 15th. Please remember, this is a clinic that we have every year, this is nothing new and will ONLY be for the flu vaccine.
|HOMECOMING|
It’s time to start planning your outfits for HOMECOMING WEEK! We are excited that the entire district will be able to participate once again! Can’t wait to see all of the amazing creations by our students and staff!

Panther Nation-
On Thursday, September 24th, the Administration at Heber Springs Schools was made aware of a positive COVID-19 case in the Heber Springs Elementary School. The Administration has contacted the Arkansas Department of Health for further guidance, and through contact tracing by the ADH and HSSD, the individuals who were at risk for primary exposure have been contacted. The Administration will continue to closely monitor this situation moving forward.
I want to thank the families of those impacted for their patience and understanding as we worked through this situation.
Dr. Andy Ashley
