|HIGH SCHOOL|
Students are enjoying their time in the library/digital learning center this year. It is the perfect place to relax, read a book, study for a test, or have a study group with friends
|5th GRADE|
Ms. Ballard’s 5th graders took their Science skills to a whole new level by sorting states of matter into solids, liquids, & gases.
|THANK YOU|
SSGT. Eric Newberry came by Heber Springs High School yesterday to speak with our Juniors and Seniors about Career Exploration and the choices they need to make as they are leaving high school.
He discussed several of the opportunities students would have in college, vo-tech, and the military. SSGT. Newberry also showed basic budgets of college and the cost of living on your own versus living with parents.
Panther Nation-
On Thursday, September 10th, 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.

|SCREENINGS|
The Middle School nurse will be conducting hearing and vision screenings on 6th graders and 8th graders on September 14 and September 22. Remote or flex students will be scheduled to come by appointment at a later time, if they are not in classes during the screening days. If your child wears glasses, please make sure they have them on these days. This helps to prevent unnecessary referrals.
Vouchers for Friday night's game at Harding Academy can be purchased at the Central Office (across from the Methodist Church). Each person attending the game MUST have a voucher to gain entry. Vouchers are $5 per person. If you have a AAA pass, you still must come to the Central Office with your pass and pick up your voucher.

Panther Nation-
The third week of school is upon us. It has been such a pleasure to see students back in the classrooms, in the hallways, and even at our first home football game. Our faculty, staff, and students have all done a wonderful job in each building to adhere to social distancing as much as possible. However, with all of the precautions we have put into place at our school, like with any other virus nothing is a guarantee.
On Monday, September 7th, the Administration at Heber Springs Schools was made aware of a positive COVID-19 case in the Heber Springs Middle 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.
