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.

Dear parent of a Prairie Grove School District student:
Even though it is still February, we are already starting to make plans for the 2020-21 school year. These plans include how we would like to address the needs of students who still wish to participate in their school's instruction online at home.
To give the PGSD a good idea of how many students would want to take part in this option, we are asking all parents to complete this very short survey that should not take over 5 minutes for you to complete. You will only need to complete one survey for your entire family.
Please use the following link to access the survey:
