The Blytheville School Board voted last night to continue to follow CDC suggestions and wear face masks for the remainder of the 20/21 school year. This means that we'll continue as we have from the beginning of the year and wear masks and practice social distance. This was not an easy decision but in the end the students and staff were the main focus.
Ayden Allen, a 5th grader in the Tenaris afterschool program, participated in a science project where he introduced different variables to determine the effects on a balloon. In these pictures, he is seeing how paper confetti will react when a charged balloon touches them.
Blytheville Schools are aware that the Governor has lifted the mask mandate for the state of Arkansas. As we have all along, Blytheville Schools will continue to follow the CDC and Arkansas Department of Health recommendations in wearing masks while on school campus, buses, and any school activities. Thank you for your continued support and understanding as we strive to maintain a safe environment for our students and staff. We will continue to monitor the situation closely and give updates as needed.
Blytheville School District is back in session tomorrow, Monday, March 29th. We have a four day week and are off on Good Friday. See you at school!
BSD is on Spring Break March 22-26. We hope all staff and students have a safe, restful, and relaxing week. See you back in school on Monday, March 29th!
We will be keeping an eye out tomorrow for changing weather conditions. Should circumstances dictate, we may have an early dismissal to provide for the safe transportation of our students.

Great conversation with the Blytheville Middle School Guiding Coalition about equity in education during a book study on Overcoming the Achievement Gap Trap. We must have an urgency to educate all kids to high levels of achievement. #NoExcuses #PLC4AR
