We ask that people continue to stay off the campus at this time. We have crews currently securing the roof of the building, and we have a crew coming to remove the trees. We are are working to make plans for the coming week, and those will be shared as soon as possible. Please be patient! #HermitsLead

HSD wants to thank Mr. Harold Hampton for his service to our school district. Mr. Hampton served on our Board of Directors from 2005 until his resignation in February, 2021. We appreciate you, Mr. Harold!

This is a reminder about the attendance policy for HES. We have students missing school and trying to complete their work remotely under the idea that this excuses them from the absence or does not count as an absence. Even if the student completes the work assigned, the student is still absent. Unfortunately, we have seen an increase in the number of student absences this year (non-COVID related). Regular attendance is critical to the academic success of your child.
Students are allowed a maximum of six excused absences a semester. After two unexcused absences, the district files a FINS petition with the court. Board Policy 4.7 can be found in the handbook.
Absences also incur when students are checked out early from school. Students need to be in school all day. When they leave early, they are missing lessons.
If your student has been tested for COVID, someone in the household has tested for COVID, or the student or someone in the student’s household has a positive COVID test result, you must notify the District POC immediately at (870) 820-4644. With proper documentation from the department of health and regular communication with the District POC, absences as described in this paragraph will not count against the six excused absences allowed by the handbook.
If you ever have questions or concerns about your child’s attendance, please contact the building administrator, Rosalynda Ellis, at (870) 463-8500 or rosalynda.ellis@hermitageschools.org.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
PANDEMIC SNAP
During this pandemic, Arkansas has been approved to provide the Pandemic Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits to families whose children receive free or reduced meals at school. Since Hermitage is a Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) school district, ALL students receive free meals and ALL families are eligible for this benefit.
Each student enrolled at Hermitage for the 2019-2020 school year will receive a one-time $319 EBT debit card in the mail, sent to the address on file at the child’s school. If your family already receives SNAP, the money will be added to your current/original card.
For more information, go to: https://human services.arkansas.gov.

During this closure by the state of Arkansas, there will be NO extra-curricular activities, including athletic practices.
