Dear Parents,
This morning Blytheville High School was placed on lockdown. BHS Administrators received a tip that a weapon may be on campus early this morning. After the quick actions of our Director of Security and BHS Administrators, a weapon was found. The weapon was confiscated and the student was removed from campus. This incident is still being investigated, but be assured that the safety of our students is first and foremost.
Thank you all for your support of the Chickasaw football team, but with the reduction in the amount of tickets available because of AAA requirements for social distancing we have no more tickets to sell for Friday night's game.

Dear Blytheville High School ALE Family,
We have learned that a member of our High School ALE family has tested positive for COVID-19. This person was on campus this week. We have already contacted individuals who were identified as a probable close contact of this person letting them know they need to quarantine. A probable close contact is someone who was within six feet for 15 minutes or more of a known positive. Of course, you may contact your medical provider to determine if anything is necessary for you.
At this time, no school closure is necessary. We understand this may cause anxiousness for you and your family and we regret any hardship. Please feel free to contact me at 870-762-0118.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Michelle Walling, ALE Director

Blytheville Kindergarten Parents: In order to keep the environment safe for our children only one parent may escort kindergarten students to class on the first day. No additional family members may go in. That parent must wear a mask and pass the screening before entering the building then can walk with their child to get settled into the classroom. Our teachers are excited to meet you and will take great care of your child!
Blytheville Kindergarten classes start on Monday, August 24th. If your child is 5 by August 1st, they must enter kindergarten. Please come see us at 1107 Byrum Road to get registered so we will have supplies prepared so they can start learning right away!
Our teachers have been busy getting rooms and lessons ready for you at Blytheville School District! See you Monday either on campus or virtually! If you haven’t registered be sure to go to campus this week so there will be a place for you!
