The Guy-Perkins School District invites the community to attend a public meeting on Monday, February 10, 2025, at 6:00 PM in the Cafeteria to discuss the district's 2030 Vision Plan. A light meal will be served at 5:30 PM before the meeting begins. The meeting will feature a presentation of work completed during two recent 2030 Planning Sessions.
Community members will have the opportunity to review proposed upgrades to existing facilities, plans for new classrooms and facilities, and suggestions for academic programming focused on enhancing education in 2030. Options for carrying out and funding these initiatives will also be presented with feedback from the public encouraged. The district hopes for a strong turnout and looks forward to hearing ideas and perspectives from all members of the Guy-Perkins community.
Due to inclement weather (or the threat of it), the Guy-Perkins School District canceled classes on Thursday, January 9, 2025, and Friday, January 10, 2025. While Arkansas law requires school calendars to include five (5) additional snow days at the end of the school year, districts are not obligated to use these days exclusively for make-up purposes. Other options are available for consideration.
Guy-Perkins Parents - We value your input and invite you to share your preferences for how these two (2) missed days should be made up in the 2024-25 school calendar. Your feedback will help the School Board make an informed decision. Please keep in mind that additional snow or ice days may occur in the future, requiring further adjustments to the school calendar. Thank you for taking the time to provide your response: https://forms.gle/8V6tGnrBCZxR6AnE6
