PCES:
Yesterday, Governor Hutchinson, along with Secretary of Education Key, announced that quarantine is now optional for school districts.
Beginning today, February 2, 2022, all students grades K-12 who are currently quarantined due to close contact situations are allowed to return to school as long as they are symptom free. If a student has recently tested positive for COVID, they will continue to isolate until their designated isolation period is over, and they are symptom free. Students who are diagnosed with new COVID cases are still required to be isolated for 5 days and may return to campus on the 6th day if symptom free. At this time, we encourage staff, students, and visitors to social distance when possible.
If you have any questions about isolation or returning to campus, please contact Nurse Kaci @ burtonk@parkerschapelschool.com or 870-315-9295.

There will be no aftercare today. Our indoor facilities will be closed as soon as the car line is over and the buses pull off campus. Our campus will be closed Thursday and Friday. AMI (alternative method of instruction) packets of work will be sent home with all prek through sixth grade students. There will be videos and copies of this work also available in google classroom and by using links on our elementary website. Accessing the internet and google classroom is not mandatory, as your child will have the papers with them to complete. All work is to be completed and turned in on Tuesday, January 18th, when students return. If your child is absent today, they will be provided their AMI packet on Tuesday and it will be due on Friday, January 21st.
Effective immediately: Masks are temporarily required for K-12 students (unless students are able to properly social distance the required three feet in the classroom), staff and visitors, and are indoors or on school transportation. This includes traveling in hallways between classrooms. This requirement does not apply to outdoor activities, actively participating in athletic activities or while actively eating or drinking. We will review this requirement at the February board meeting.
This policy does not supersede the Test to Stay program or any other current ADH guideline.
Masks will be required for all indoor athletic events.
A cell phone was turned in to the elementary office this morning.
If you lost one this morning or you know someone that lost one this morning, please contact the elementary office at 870-862-4641 ext 130 and describe it. You will need the passcode to unlock it for identification of ownership.
Ms. Becky’s bus will be a few minutes late this morning.
Parkers Chapel Elementary Car Line: Students must enter & exit cars on the side next to the awnings. If you cannot adjust your passenger seating arrangements to accommodate this, please park and walk your child to the crosswalk. Students may climb past car seats. etc. to exit on the passenger side if necessary. Also, no phones are to be used when in the car line. Phone use in the car line will result in being excluded from using the car pickup line. Student safety is a priority.
The elementary students are helping collect canned food items for the Salvation Army’s kitchen. We will be collecting through December 15th. Please send anything you’d like to donate with your child, or you may drop off sacks at the elementary office and we will get them to your child’s classroom for the competition count! Thanks for helping with this community project! (We are working with two high school groups on this project.)
If your child rides the Westside Bus and / or attends Westside Aftercare, please make arrangements for someone to pick your child up at the PC Campus this Friday afternoon at our regular dismissal time.
