Mammoth Spring School District has free tickets to the Coronation for Friday night's Homecoming game. Tickets will be given out on a first-come, first-serve basis today at 5:00 pm in front of the main gym.
Elementary classes will be having their Halloween parties on Friday, October 30. Unfortunately, parents will not be allowed to attend and outside treats/snacks will not be allowed this year. We will be providing goodie bags for each of our students. We know so many parents look forward to these events every year and we wish you could be with us. Thank you for your continued efforts to keep our students safe and healthy!
Next week is Homecoming/Red Ribbon Week! Please find the schedule for the dress up days below. They are the same for high school and elementary, except for Wednesday (class color day).
MSHS will have a "Virtual Day" on Friday, October 23rd. Parents may choose to send their children to school or keep them at home that day. All teachers will be "on campus" to assist students the entire day. Going "virtual" for one day allows students to practice working independently on their Google Classroom assignments for that day and communicating with their teachers via email or online meetings. This experience also provides the opportunity for students and teachers to identify problems, glitches, and obstacles that may arise if MSHS does "go virtual" for any reason. Again, parents may choose to send their children to school on Friday the 23rd or let them remain at home. In either event, students will participate in their full day of scheduled learning activities in the classroom or at home.
Grades K-12 will be having a "virtual day" on Friday, October 23 to test our virtual learning platform in the students' home environment. During this virtual day, students are not required to be present in the building. They will instead do their assignments from home. However, if your children need to come to school, buses will be running and meals will be served. Preschool will remain on their normal schedule, as they do not have a virtual option. If you do not have internet access at home, please call 870-625-7213 to notify the school no later than Wednesday, October 21. This will allow us plenty of time to make the appropriate accommodations for those students with no internet access.
Monday night's basketball games with Calico Rock have been cancelled.
As of tomorrow, the breakfast menu is subject to change. We will try to update the app and website with any changes as soon as we can. Thank you!
Picture re-takes/sports pictures that were scheduled for this week have been postponed to a later date in November or December. We will announce the exact date as soon as the photographer lets us know.
Financial Aid Night is tonight from 5:30-6:30 in the High School Library. Ozarka Financial Aid staff will be on hand to answer questions and help seniors fill out their FAFSA. Parents of seniors are encouraged to attend.
Masks and social distancing are required.
Due to the increasing number of COVID-19 cases in our area, the Mammoth Spring School District has made the decision to cancel all athletic events for the week of October 12-16. We are currently working on our COVID plan on campus to allow for more social distancing among students and staff. We ask that everyone be mindful of social distancing and wearing masks when out in public places. We thank you all for your continued support and efforts to keep our students and staff safe and healthy.
Extra tickets for Monday’s Blue & White Game (Boys Session & Girls Session) are available for pick up at the Main Gym. Please call 870-371-1344 when you are outside and we will bring them to your vehicle! #3DAYS #GOBEARS
Calling all Bear fans! Since we will not have a visitor crowd for the Blue and White game, we have decided to do a one-time ticket giveaway this Thursday, October 8 from 5:30-6 PM in front of the high school. These will be given on a first-come, first-serve basis and you must be present at the time of pick-up to use these tickets. You cannot send someone to pick the tickets up for you. The games will consist of 1 girls session and 1 boys session with 20 pods of 2 and 1 pod of 4 available for each session. A total of 44 tickets for each session will be available. Limit of 1 session per person. Again, this is a one-time deal!
We ask that everyone pull in front of the high school doors and stay in their vehicles when picking up tickets.
The Blue and White games are scheduled for Monday, October 12 starting at 5:30 PM. Masks and social distancing will be enforced in the gym to ensure the health and safety of our athletes, coaches, and fans.
