Attention Elementary Panther car riders/walkers who use the one-way street these are the new parking and pick- up/drop off procedures for this year. -Parents for those of you who want to walk your child to class the first few days of school please use the gravel parking lot in front of the Elementary building. We do not want parents leaving parked cars that may obstruct the flow of traffic. -Also, our drop off and pick up procedures have been modified for this school year. For those who use the one -way street for drop off nothing has changed except that two lanes of traffic will now be dropping off at the same place. For afternoon pick up, we will still use the two lanes of traffic but will access the furthest doors of the 1 st grade building (newest building and the doors nearest front street). For drop off and pick up, look for Officer Hiltz’s patrol car he will be directing traffic. Thank you for your cooperation.

PARENTS Panther Alley (the road in between Panther Stadium and the Old Gym) will be closed for the next week due to new football field turf. If you are needing to drop your child off at the Field House you will need to enter the campus by the Performing Arts Center (Panther Paw Hill and W. Pine St.) and drive back around the High School. Please remember that Panther Alley is a one way AT ALL TIMES! If you are leaving the Panther Den, you must either turn left and exit on Front Street (except for this next week) or cross into the High School parking lot to exit on W. Pine St. The exits to the High School parking lot are also a one way, please do not turn into the parking lot at these locations.

Heber Springs Schools is excited to announce that school supplies will be provided once again to all K-8 students. These supplies do not include items such as backpacks, lunch boxes, water bottles, etc. FAQ: Why are High School students not included? Answer: Many of our High School students are concurrent students at ASU Heber Springs and we are unaware of the items needed for those classes. Other students in the High School will be taking classes that may not require the basic supplies, it is best to wait until Open House to obtain the supply list based on their class schedule. Open House postcards will be mailed out the week of July 17th and Elementary teachers will mail out welcome letters to their students on August 1st. **Please note that Open House would be a great time to bring teachers boxes of tissues!!!

Athletes will be maxing in the weight room this next week during their athletic period and picking up all equipment needs for the summer.
