Dierks School District

Ms. Dove’s bus will be delayed this morning. All students before the Liberty Hill Road have been picked up. Students who live after this area will be picked up a little later this morning.

We plan to resume school tomorrow! Please be safe! Thank you all for your patience as we navigate these unusual road conditions.

No school today! There are several roads that buses are unable to get to and it is freezing rain in several places. We apologize for the short notice, but student safety is our top priority.

We look forward to seeing everyone at school tomorrow! If a bus encounters an unsafe area on the roads due to weather conditions and is unable to pick up your child, it will be an excused absence.

School will be closed Wednesday, January 17 due to road conditions. While the highways and main roads have improved, there are still many blacktop roads and back roads that have not thawed. We are taking an abundance of caution to allow roads to thaw tomorrow. Campuses are expected to open again this Thursday, January 18.

School will be closed on Tuesday, January 16th due to inclement weather. Stay tuned for updates through social media, the webpage, and school reach.

Flu clinic forms are going home today! They need to be turned in by the 26th this month. The clinic will be Tuesday, October 10th.

Parents: It is a state law for immunizations to be completed by 30 days after school starts. If you received a letter from the school, please make sure that you either: • Get proof of an appointment • Have a letter of exemption from immunizations from your child’s primary care doctor • Get a copy of your child’s immunizations sent to the school if you’ve already got them done (our fax number is 870-286-3232 if that’s easier for you) This will mostly effect students ages kindergarten, 11, & 16. According to the law we are not supposed to allow children to stay in school if they don’t have their vaccinations up to date after October 1st. Please reply promptly so we can be compliant. Absence will be enforced if not compliant. Thank you for your cooperation!

School will dismiss at 2:00p.m. on Thursday, May 18th. We hope everyone has a fun and safe summer!
