The Springdale School Board approved a new calendar for the 2020-2021 school year. Please see below: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1QJKSQllDJ6goiNUcfG9ZNWwaWzuFd3ZS5oFvIome08k/edit?usp=sharing

The School board of Springdale Public Schools approves a temporary policy to require face coverings for staff and students when social distancing is not possible. This requirement includes any time a student is on district property, district-owned transportation or school-sponsored activities. Students will be able to remove face coverings while eating meals or snack, and will be given breaks throughout the day. Students will be placed at least six feet apart during face-covering breaks. The Springdale School District is providing two washable masks for each student.
