COVID-19 Survey

The SNSD is seeking input from students, parents, staff, and community members regarding the mask mandate and social distancing guidelines based on Governor Asa Hutchinson’s recent announcement. This survey will provide valuable information that will help in the decision making process.

Important information to be aware of as you make your decision:

If the district continues following our current guidelines until the end of the school year, then students and staff will no longer be quarantined if they were identified as a close contact and were wearing a mask.

If the district does not follow the mask mandate and social distancing guidelines until the end of the school year, then students and staff will continue to be quarantined if they are deemed as close contact for 10 days per state mandate.

Updated COVID-19 Guidance from ADE

The Arkansas Department of Education released updated guidance for school districts following the Governor’s announcement yesterday. The guidance can be viewed at the link below.

Please pay particular attention to the information regarding quarantine of a close contact on p. 5 as this is a significant change from previous procedure

A survey will be coming soon for parents and guardians to provide input to help us gather information as decisions are made moving forward.

Communication Regarding Governor’s Announcement Today

As many of you are aware, Governor Asa Hutchinson announced the lifting of the mask mandate for the state of Arkansas. It was also discussed that school district would be making local decisions with stakeholder input moving forward.

The Smackover-Norphlet School District has been having discussions with staff and the school board anticipating this possible decision.

SNSD will continue with our current policies and plans and will communicate any new guidance after discussion and decision making at a special called board meeting on April 8.

We thank you for your efforts to make this school year a success despite the adjustments! Have a great Good Friday and Easter weekend.

Please continue to check our social media outlets for updates.

Go Bucks!

Gold at the End of the Rainbow

The luck of the Irish was with Norphlet Middle School 5th grade students!

They found the pot of gold but were left with the challenge of building a bridge with their gold coins!

Students were to build a bridge at least an inch tall and an inch wide. Below are some pictures of their completed STEM challenge.

The winning team’s class enjoyed a popcorn party.
