Bald Knob: Good evening!
As you are aware, the District administration is collecting data regarding the number of positive student COVID-19 cases since dismissal for the holiday break.
If you are aware of a student and/or a household member of a student who tested positive for COVID-19, please call or text our nurses at (501) 203-9615 with the student's name, date of symptom onset, test date, and location of testing.
A summary of data collected will be shared with the Arkansas Department of Education and Arkansas Department of Health in order to guide decisions regarding on-site or remote learning as we enter the new year.
Thank you for all you have done to positively impact the spread of COVID-19 in our school and community. Happy New Year!
eSchool will be offline from December 20-December 28 as the state updates to a newer version. You will not be able to access your HAC account while the site is offline. Your grades will be finalized after teachers return on January 4, 2021.
"Merry Christmas from H.L. Lubker Elementary music classes! We hope you enjoy our Virtual Winter Performance."

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.
