To the Springdale Community, Student and staff health and safety is the number one concern of Springdale Public Schools. Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson and Secretary of Education Johnny Key recommend school districts in counties without a presumptive case remain open in order to not disrupt community life, especially meal services for children and health services for all. The CDC guidance on COVID-19 is that short to medium duration school closings are not recommended. The major request is for good judgment be in place for hygiene for all students and staff along with social distancing. Springdale Public Schools will remain open.

LeighAnne Mckee and Emma Davis both agree that relationships are the most important thing with it comes to being counselors. LeighAnne has been a counselor since Hellstern Middle opened in 2005 and this is Emma's first year. Emma says, "Students go through so much in middle school that they don't understand." "Students have to have someone to go to, to build trust, and a relationship with," says LeighAnne. Great counselors help make Springdale Public Schools #THEChoice.
