Football schedule change: next week's 7th grade and Jr. High football games against Greene County Tech have been cancelled and will not be made up.
We are pleased to announce that Baldwin Elementary has received a $3,000 literacy grant to promote student achievement in literacy.
Students in grades 2-4 at Baldwin Elementary will read new books provided in classroom libraries and will work to achieve reading goals established by school staff. We are excited and grateful for this opportunity made possible in part by a grant from the Community Foundation of Greene County, an affiliate of Arkansas Community Foundation.
We would like to thank our parents and students for the patience and flexibility you have shown during the first nine weeks of the 2020-2021 school year. We appreciate your support and trust as we navigate our new learning options and work to improve our practices for the weeks ahead of us.
The Paragould School District provided students with a Virtual Learning Day on Friday, October 16. We would like your feedback on how we can improve in the areas of academics, student support, and time management. Your insights into our virtual learning implementation will help us ensure a safe, caring, and exciting educational environment. Please complete the survey for each school age child you have in the Paragould School District. For example, if you have three students, you will need to complete the survey three times, one for each child. The survey is open until Friday, October 23. Thank you in advance for your feedback.

The Paragould School District has received an Emergency School Pantry and Food Box Program Grant Award in the amount of $25,000! This grant is administered by the Arkansas Food Bank in partnership with the six regional food banks. The purpose of the program is to provide additional food assistance to low income families with children. There will be at least one special food box distribution per week. The food from this program is meant for all family members, not just the children. The Paragould School District is excited about this awesome opportunity to serve our students and their families!
