To the Springdale Community, Student and staff health and safety is the number one concern of Springdale Public Schools. Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson and Secretary of Education Johnny Key recommend school districts in counties without a presumptive case remain open in order to not disrupt community life, especially meal services for children and health services for all. The CDC guidance on COVID-19 is that short to medium duration school closings are not recommended. The major request is for good judgment be in place for hygiene for all students and staff along with social distancing. Springdale Public Schools will remain open.

We are so proud to announce that Amanda Ladish has been selected to participate in the 2020-21 Arkansas Declaration of Learning Program. This prestigious program is open to Arkansas school librarians and teachers of English language arts, arts, social studies, ELs, special education, and gifted and talented in grades 4-12. Selected participants will learn about historic art, objects, and resources from the Clinton Foundation, Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, the U.S. Department of State’s Diplomatic Reception Rooms, and the William J. Clinton Presidential Library. At a five-day summer workshop in Little Rock from June 15-19, 2020, participants will work with representatives from these organizations and DESE to develop innovative units and lesson plans. Inspired by historic objects, artwork and special site visits, educators will develop a student-led, teacher directed civic engagement project that addresses an issue in their community, state, nation, or world. Throughout the following school year, participants will test and refine their unit and execute the civic engagement project. Participants will be mentored throughout the one-year program and receive a stipend as program goals are met. Finally, there will be a culminating celebration event in summer 2021. We are so proud of Mrs. Ladish for being selected for this prestigious honor. #THEChoice
