Parkers Chapel School District Friday, November 13, 2020 Dear Parents, Students, and Faculty: Recently the Parkers Chapel School District notified the Arkansas Department of Health (ADH) of positive cases of COVID-19 in the Parkers Chapel School District. The district followed the ADH protocols to identify probable close contacts. Those who have met the criteria have been contacted. The district has taken active measures to deep clean and disinfect the facilities appropriately. Parkers Chapel School District will continue to work with the ADH and follow all guidelines and protocols as directed. We appreciate the cooperation of our parents, students, and staff during these difficult times. For the privacy of our students and staff, the Parkers Chapel School District cannot share personal information regarding this case. The school district remains steadfast in our commitment to the safety of our students, staff, and community. Again, if you have not been contacted you are not considered a probable case of close contact. Continue to monitor your child for symptoms and let Mrs. Burton, the school nurse, know of any suspected issues. Make sure you are familiar with our protocols for testing and possible close contact. Please monitor our district website and social media pages for updates as they become available. Go Trojans, Michael J. White Superintendent

Due to an increase in COVID-19 cases and quarantines, the Parkers Chapel Administration has made the difficult, but necessary decision to forfeit tonight’s playoff game at Clarendon. This sadly concludes our season. Tickets will be refunded by the Arkansas Activities Association; this typically takes 7-10 business days to credit the customers debit/credit card. Thank you to all parents, fans, players, and school personnel for all your support!

Remember to send clean masks & a clean water bottle each day. Students without these items will be required to call parents & have the items brought to school. Thank you for remembering to send these items daily. (A minimum of three (3) masks should be in backpacks.)

Menu Changes for this week: Tuesday: Pre-K Lunch = Ham and Cheese Sliders; Lunch K-12= Ham and Cheese Sliders or Hamburgers. Wednesday: Pre-K Lunch= Chicken Nuggets; K-12 Lunch= Chili Dog or Cheeseburger. Thursday Pre-K Lunch = Chicken and Waffles; K-12 Lunch= Chicken and Waffles or Chicken Sandwich.

Menu change for today: Prek will have popcorn chicken today instead of chicken and waffles. K-12 will have orange chicken today instead of chicken and waffles. The 2nd option of hamburger for K-12 will stay the same today. On Thursday, Prek - 12th will have chicken and waffles with a 2nd option for K-12 of chicken sandwich. We apologize for the inconvenience, a delivery was delayed causing the change.

Please wash masks & water bottles. All students must have a water bottle from home to refill each day. All students must have a mask with at least two or three extra masks to use if something happens to the one they use at the beginning of the day. Parents will be called to bring masks or water bottles if students do not have these two things each day.

Mr. White’s letter will not attach to the text messaging system used by the school. However, the letter, concerning Covid, can be found on the live feed on our school website and it can also be accessed by using the school app.

The attached letter is a message from our superintendent, Mr. White.
