Congratulations, Payton!
If you signed up for the Community Service Learning Food Assistance Opportunity Program (formerly known as the backpack program), today is the LAST DAY to pick up food before Thanksgiving Break. Food will be available for pick up today in the administration building. If you have any questions, please call the school.
The Mammoth Spring School District is proud to announce that we have applied for and received a $25,000 grant to provide extra food for our students and their families. We have had food for families to pick up and will have more dates when food is available for our families. If you need assistance with food and have not signed up for the program, please call the school and we will assist you. Thank you for your continued support of these programs for our students.
Important information for those that signed up for the Community Service Learning Food Opportunity Program (formerly known as the Backpack Program). Letters have been sent home to those students who were present at school today.
The basketball games scheduled for tonight at Koshkonong have been CANCELLED!

NOTICE TO MSHS JUNIORS:
Wednesday, November 18th, Josten's will deliver senior rings at 10:30 am in the Mammoth Spring High School Library.
A reminder from our nurse, Mrs. Robin:
Just a reminder for parents:
*If you have someone in your home testing for COVID please everyone quarantine until test results come in.
*If you have been around someone with COVID for more than 15 minutes in 24 hours with or without a mask, you need to quarantine for 14 days. There is no way around this!
* If your child is positive they will need a letter from the Arkansas Department of Health to release them to return to school.
* Please let the school know of any exposure or testing so we can take the necessary actions.
We all want our kids to be in school! Please follow the guidelines so we can make that continue to happen. Wearing a mask is mandated for age 10 and up. Please make sure your student has one before getting on the bus or out of the car. The school gave each student 3 cloth masks to start the school year. Please make sure your students have one of those with them. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at any time.

FBLA Conference
These letters were sent home yesterday with elementary students. We have added 4 more virtual days to the calendar to coincide with Thanksgiving and Christmas breaks.
Parents, we need your help! We have been having a lot of students (10 and older) who are coming to school without masks or not wearing their masks when they are required to. If your child is 10 years old or older, they are required to wear a face mask at school. Please help us out by making sure they are wearing their masks when they come to school and encourage them to wear their masks throughout the day. We understand masking is not the most convenient thing, but it's what we have to do to keep our school open. We have disposable masks here at school, but they are not easy to come by if we run out. Please help us keep our kids healthy!
Great Job!
The Mammoth Spring School District's November Board Meeting will be held Thursday, November 19, 2020, at 6:30 pm in the cafeteria.
