Hero Happenings!

On Friday, students & staff can wear hats for $1!

We are giving all the money raised to our Springdale Police Department to assist in their "Shop with a Cop" event. Students from each of our schools in Springdale are selected to participate in this Christmas event.

On Tuesday night, at the Springdale School Board meeting, Kendra Clay updated us on the data regarding Covid-19, students, & staff. These numbers are for the entire district from Aug. 23rd until Nov. 6:

• The district has had 136 positive staff members (4.7%)
• The district has had 293 positive students (1.5%)
• The district has quarantined 2,404 people as being possible close contacts (PCC)
• Of those identified as PCCs, 27 tested positive (1.1%)

All this to say, our numbers have increased but Springdale Schools are still at a small percentage of our overall population. We are continuing to follow all safety precautions. Our increase in numbers mirrors the state's increase.

We are going to postpone our school Spelling Bee until November 30th @ 8am. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

Teachers are reporting that students are forgetting to charge their Chromebooks at night. Please help us by reminding your students that they must charge Chromebooks at night!! Thanks for your help!

Every week, we will post team information through these links. We are doing this to try and simplify communication. So be sure and check here EVERY WEEK!

We are trying out some minor changes this 2nd quarter. We have teachers assigned to monitor a "study hall" from 7:45-8:30 every day. Students may be assigned by teachers if they are behind or have missing assignments.

We also are now offering tutoring on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 3:15-4:00pm every week. Students must be picked up at 4pm if they choose to stay. If a student is staying for tutoring they can go to the library at the end of the day and we will relocate to room 207 or 407 (depending on the day).

Every week we want to introduce you to fabulous Heroes that work at Hellstern. We have some of the best teachers and staff in the world and can't wait for you to get to know them!

Please remember, AAA guidelines & the governor's mask mandate require us to wear masks to all of the athletic events. Help keep our seasons going - mask up!!
