Parkers Chapel School District

The Parkers Chapel School Board meeting for October has been rescheduled for Thursday, October 14th in the cafeteria at 6:00 pm.

Nurse Kaci needs a few volunteers to help with the flu clinic paperwork on Monday, Oct. 11, 8:00-2:00. If you would like to help, contact her at 870-862-4641 ext 114. Both signature forms are due tomorrow if your child will be receiving the flu vaccine on campus Monday.

I am reaching out to parents to ask for their help and to encourage you to closely monitor your child’s social media accounts, internet searches, youtube viewing, and online gaming activities. We have had an increased amount of issues involving these avenues of entertainment. Profanity, making fun of others, not being socially responsible, and most recently today, students were role playing “squid games”. If you are unfamiliar with squid games or what your child is seeing and hearing on the phone, on the internet, or even at school, I encourage you to log into their accounts, talk to them, and ask questions. Remind them to let an adult at school know if they see or hear something that is against rules. I am including a link for you to read about “squid games”. Thank you for your help and thank you for monitoring what your child is exposed to. Innocence is a treasure that needs to be preserved as long as possible. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.usatoday.com/amp/5946819001

A message from Nurse Kaci: Flu shot forms will be sent home today. Completed forms must be returned by this Wednesday. The Arkansas Dept. of Health form must be completed on the front and back. The signature box at the bottom (front side) must have the parent’s signature to be valid. The last page is a Privacy Act form that must be completed and signed as well. Both forms must be returned by this Wednesday if your child is to receive his or her flu shot at school on Monday, October 11th.
