Bald Knob Parents and Guardians,
As part of a coordinated response to the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Division of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) in partnership with the Office of Education Policy (OEP) at the University of Arkansas has developed Parent/Guardian Survey for soliciting family input on what is working now and what may be considered for the future.
The survey seeks to involve families in an organized, ongoing and timely way in planning, review, and improvement. The survey, which will remain open for two (2) weeks, will provide feedback regarding: family concerns; how families are making decisions; family awareness of options and resources available; family considerations for the future
The intention of this survey is to establish an understanding of the state as a whole. The information will be aggregated by region only; therefore, you will be asked to identify the region of the state in which you live in without specifically identifying any district by name. We appreciate your input!
The survey will close on Friday, November 20.
Click on the link below to purchase tickets for Friday night's football playoff game against the Green Forest Tigers. You will need to show your phone at the gate to have your tickets validated. AAA passes will be accepted in lieu of a ticket.
