The Prairie Grove School District will be closed on Wednesday, January 17, 2024. Please know we are cautiously optimistic about school on Thursday, January 18. If Prairie Grove schools are in session on Thursday, all schools will be on a two-hour delay. The district will need time that morning to clear any remaining ice off the sidewalks and driveways. Lastly, please know buses will only drive on the paved roads for Thursday, January 18.
Due to icy road conditions, Prairie Grove Schools will be closed Tuesday, January 16th.
This is a message from the Prairie Grove School District. In an abundance of caution, Prairie Grove Schools will be closed on Friday, January 12th.

To Parents/Guardians of students planning on riding the bus for the upcoming school year,
There will be an email notification sent out this weekend to inform you of your child's assigned bus route, the pick-up/drop-off locations, and the approximate times. The email will come from a "routing.app-garden" email address and not the school email, so make sure you watch for it and remember to check your spam, also. If you have not received an email by Monday, you can contact your child's school or contact the transportation department and ask for John.
Please bear with us at the start of the year, as we are implementing a new bus routing software and student tracking system for bus riders. The students will receive a card with a QR code within the first couple days of school which will be used to scan on and off the bus. When fully operational, this will allow drivers and school staff to better ensure students are on the correct bus and getting to the correct stops.
Thanks,
Transportation Department
