Afternoon Car Rider Pick-Up Reminder
To help ensure a safe and efficient dismissal each afternoon, please review our updated Afternoon Car Rider Pick-Up Guidelines for Heber Springs Elementary School. Kindergarten through 2nd grade students will be picked up in Panther Alley, while students in 3rd through 5th grade and all walk-ups will be dismissed from Circle Drive. If your child has an older sibling in grades 3–5, both students will be picked up together at Circle Drive.
For the safety of all students and staff, please remember that our pick-up areas are cell phone free zones, display your car rider tag clearly, and submit any transportation changes before 2:00 p.m. If your child will be riding home with a friend, please contact the elementary office at (501) 362-8155 so the required dismissal note can be issued.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we work together to provide a safe and smooth dismissal for all of our students. #PantherPride

🐾 A Message to the Greater Panther Family 🐾
From Your Heber Springs School Nurses
As we begin the month of March, we are experiencing a late flu season while seasonal allergies are also increasing across our community.
We encourage everyone to remain vigilant during this time. If you or your student struggle with seasonal allergies, please stay consistent with prescribed allergy medications. Managing symptoms early can help prevent complications and help students feel their best each day.
We also want to remind everyone of the importance of simple prevention habits:
Wash hands frequently with soap and water
Cover coughs and sneezes
Stay home if you are experiencing flu-like symptoms
Avoid sharing personal water bottles or drinks
These small but important steps help protect not only your family, but our entire Greater Panther Family.
The health and well-being of our students and staff remains our highest priority. Thank you for partnering with us to keep our schools healthy and strong.
