Springdale Seniors,
Our hearts go out to you during this unprecedented time. Springdale School District is currently evaluating end-of-year senior celebrations (prom, senior awards, and graduation). The U of A will not be available for commencement ceremonies in May and we are assessing alternative dates and plans for the commencement ceremonies. Thank you for understanding.

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.
