We had an accidental Active Shooter activation on our notification app. Again this was an accidental activation, please disregard it. It was a medical issue.
PGSD and Washington County Health Department will be holding a Flu Vaccination Clinic on November 3 for all students and staff. If you would like your child to receive a free flu vaccination on that day please get a form from the Office.
Return completed FERPA release and Flu form to the School Nurse by November 2nd. Incomplete forms will not be accepted.

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

This course is designed to help our students prepare for the written permit test. Those students who will be in the 8th grade during the 2022-2023 school year are invited to register.

Dear Parents of Prairie Grove School District Students:
The Prairie Grove School District is very appreciative to the parents and guardians of our students for your assistance this school year on Wednesdays. Our ability to dismiss school at 1:30 on Wednesdays has allowed our teachers to have precious time to collaborate and work together to discuss what is best for your child in Prairie Grove Schools.
This message is to make you aware of a change in the 2022-23 school year that will start on August 17, 2022, our first day back to school. Currently, on Wednesdays, we run buses to deliver students back to their homes beginning at the regular daily dismissal of 3:10 p.m. Supervision of students during this time, as you could imagine, required a large part of our teachers to be unable to participate or participate for a reduced time in their team meetings. To maximize this time for all staff, we plan to run our buses at 1:30 p.m. on Wednesdays rather than the usual 3:10, starting on August 17th. In effect, all of our students would be required to go home at this earlier time of 1:30, every Wednesday.
We are sending you this information early to start making plans for the 2022-23 school year. If this is a problem for you, we have our Paw Prints After-School Program for our Elementary and Middle School students for a cost of $10.00 per day. Paw Prints Registration
Our new school calendar is also attached for your convenience.
Respectfully,
Reba Holmes
