Read all about OPAA Food Service's plans to provide safe and healthy meals in 2020-21 for our students and staff at Guy-Perkins School District - https://5il.co/j92g . #MyOPAA
Attention Guy-Perkins High School students grades 7-12: Class schedules will be available for pick up beginning on Monday, August 17th at 8:00 a.m. in the High School office. All students, whether learning on campus, off campus, or a combination of both may stop by the High School office between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. each day to pick up a schedule. Only two people per family will be allowed to enter the building and must wear a face mask at all times.
Schedule-change requests will be considered until Tuesday, September 1st. Mr. Ralls, High School Counselor, will be available in his office to handle schedule-change forms between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. on Monday, August 17th through Friday, August 21st.
In the interest of safety during COVID-19, it is recommended that students submit schedule-change requests by phone at 501-679-3507, or by e-mail to stacey.ralls@gptbirds.org. Students are also asked to pick up a master schedule when picking up class schedules in order to determine which class can be added in place of dropped classes. Please remember that schedule changes may not be possible if there are no appropriate class options available.
The Guy-Perkins School District will serve breakfast and lunch FREE to ALL students in 2020-21!! Families will not be required to fill out free/reduced lunch forms, and both "on-site" and "virtual" learners qualify. Look for more information in a letter being mailed out soon!

COVID-19 Statement from Guy-Perkins School District: This week, two student-athletes tested positive for COVID-19.
Although these student-athletes did not workout on campus, out of extreme caution the Guy-Perkins Athletic Department has cancelled on-site workouts until August 17. We appreciate these parents for monitoring their children for signs of fever, sore throat, and/or loss of smell and taste and having them tested before they came to school. Parents are our first line of defense. Stay safe and healthy!
The Guy Perkins Gifted and Talented Department received a generous donation from @Puffs through @AdoptAClassroom. Our GT Coordinator, Ms. Smith used the funds to purchase materials for units the students will work on in this school year. We would like to thank @Puffs and @AdoptAClassroom for supporting teachers, classrooms, and students.
