Last night an initial message was sent out on social media to let our community know that the Board voted to make wearing masks optional. To clarify, the option to wear or not wear masks has been given to everybody, staff and students. We still have some staff and students who would feel more comfortable wearing a mask. Although not mandated for anyone to wear a mask, during these trying times I would ask for all to show respect on both sides of the decision that has been made and finish our school year strong!
Go Tigers!

Go Tigers 🐯!
Last day of ACT Aspire Testing is tomorrow, April 14th. Students make sure to charge your chrome books tonight and be ready to go for tomorrow.
Clarification on the previous message about Registration, this is for those that received the invite codes yesterday. This is not regarding 2021-2022 Pre-K or 2021-2022 Kindergarten Registration.
Regarding the new online Registration with LINQ, as a reminder next years registration opens on April 15th, 2021. If you have already attempted to register, this will be null and void. Any attempt until that date, registers them for the current year and not next year. Thanks for understanding.
ACT Aspire testing next Tuesday and Wednesday. This is for all Virtual and on-site 7th and 8th grade students.
Track Meet in Pea Ridge 🏃🏃🏻♀️🐯
Track Meet last night in Pea Ridge! Way to go Tigers 🐯
With only 8 weeks left in the 2020-2021 school year, the governor has given the school districts the option to not wear masks. Now, with that being said, there are several guidelines a school district must follow to make this determination. We must involve the School Board members, receive input from parents, post amendments to our “Ready for Learning” plan while we also are encouraged to continue to follow ADH guidelines.
Our next School Board meeting will be held April 20, 2021. Up until that point, we will continue the current guidelines which are wearing masks when social distancing of 6 foot can not be maintained. During that meeting I will present to the Board: parent’s in-put, medical practitioners’ in-put from our area, faculty survey and our “Ready For Learning” plan so that we can make the best decision for PGSD. I understand that this can be very controversial with both sides passionate about their views; however, I would ask that all involved respect the decision that will be made on April 20th, for the remainder of the school year.
This parent survey gives an opportunity for parents to offer in-put in how PGSD will end this wild and crazy school year. Responses will not be made public so that we do not cause a divide in our community. I also would ask that we all agree to accept different opinions if our end of year guidelines are not your preference.

Due to the excessive amount of days that were missed due to snow and ice this winter, Prairie Grove Schools will have regular classes on April 23rd and 26th. We understand that some families have already made plans on what was originally planned as virtual school days. If this is the case, then parents can send an absence note, as soon as possible, to their child's school and the absence will be excused. Students will still need to make up any school work in a reasonable amount of time after they return.
