Exciting News!
We are thrilled to announce that our Paris Elementary students demonstrated outstanding growth in math this year and have been recognized by the Office for Education Policy (OEP) at the University of Arkansas!
Each year, the OEP releases its Outstanding Educational Performance Awards, highlighting schools with exceptional student academic growth on ATLAS. This recognition is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and perseverance of our students and staff at PES.
Congratulations to our incredible PES team! We are so proud of you! #ProudToBeAnEagle #PESExcellence #StudentSuccess
All Paris School District schools will be closed on January 9 and 10, 2025, due to the forecasted winter storm.
The safety of our students and staff is our top priority. To account for the uncertainty surrounding the storm's timing and impact—including hazardous road conditions and challenges with bus routes—we are announcing these closures in advance to give families time to plan.
These closure days will not need to be made up, as the 2024-2025 school calendar includes extra instructional hours to meet state requirements.
Thank you for your understanding as we prioritize the well-being of our students and staff. Stay safe and warm! #ProudToBeAnEagle
As winter weather conditions are upon us, we want to take this opportunity to remind you of our procedures for monitoring the weather and notifying families in the event of a school closure or delay.
Our priority is always the safety and well-being of our students and staff. We closely monitor weather forecasts and road conditions, in order to make informed decisions regarding the operation of our schools.
As we approach the holiday season, here are a few important dates and events to keep in mind before Christmas Break:
🎅 Santa Shop: December 9–13. Students will have the opportunity to shop for holiday gifts during school hours.
🎶 Christmas Sing-A-Long: Friday , December 13. Performance times are as follows: 8:30-Pre K & K, 9:30- 1st & 2nd, 1:30- 3rd & 4th. Join us for a festive celebration of holiday songs!
📆 Early Dismissal: Friday, December 20. Please plan accordingly.
🎄 Christmas Break: December 23–January 6. School will resume on Tuesday, January 7
Thank you for your continued support. We hope you have a wonderful holiday season!
As the temperatures drop, we want to ensure all our students stay warm and comfortable. Please remember to send your child to school with a coat or any other cold-weather gear they may need to stay cozy during the day.
Weather permitting, we will still be going outside for recess and playground time, so it’s especially important that students are dressed appropriately for the cold.
If you need assistance obtaining warm clothing for your child, please don't hesitate to reach out to your child's teacher. We're here to help!
Thank you for helping us keep everyone safe and warm this winter.
We have moved our morning drop off line. Please be aware of the changes.
