Paris Elementary School

From Band-Aids to belly aches, mystery rashes to “I just don’t want to go to math class” fevers, Nurse Lynsey handles it all with a smile, a thermometer, and possibly some magical nurse powers. At Paris Elementary, she’s not just our nurse — she’s a detective, counselor, comedian, and occasional tooth fairy. We don’t know how she does it, but we’re so glad she does! Thank you, Nurse Lynsey, for keeping us healthy, happy, and just the right amount of dramatic. Drop your favorite Nurse Lynsey memory or a high five in the comments! #NationalSchoolNursesDay #NurseLynseyToTheRescue #ParisElementaryPride

A big THANK YOU to our amazing PTO for treating our staff to ice cream today, and a special shoutout to Twalla Becker for the delicious homemade pies! What a sweet way to kick off Day 1 of Teacher Appreciation Week—we feel so loved and grateful!

A big thank you to Ahran Washington from Arkansas Children’s Hospital for visiting us and delivering an engaging and informative ATV safety education presentation to our 4th graders! Your efforts are helping keep our community’s kids safe while enjoying the outdoors. We appreciate your commitment to injury prevention and education! Students had a blast and even won fun and useful prizes — water bottles, safety goggles, and three lucky winners will receive custom fitted helmets! #ATVSafety #CommunityHealth #ArkansasChildrens

Happy National School Lunch Hero Day to our amazing ladies at Paris Elementary! Today, we celebrate the heart and soul of our cafeteria—our incredible breakfast and lunch team who work tirelessly to make sure every student is fed, cared for, and greeted with a smile each and every day.

Big shoutout to Mrs. Cruzate! She did it—Mastered it! Literally! Mrs. Cruzate just graduated from the University of Central Arkansas with her Master of Science in School Counseling and we couldn’t be more excited for her! All those late nights, papers, and Alani runs paid off. She’s now officially a MASTER at helping students succeed—and we know she’s going to be amazing in this next chapter. Help us celebrate this rockstar and drop some love in the comments! Way to go, Mrs. Cruzate!

Get in while you can! #LittleEagles

🎉 Happy Administrative Professionals Day to the one and only Jennifer! 🎉 Let’s be honest — without Jennifer, we’d be buried under a mountain of emails, lost in a sea of sticky notes, and trying to schedule meetings in three different time zones. 😅🌀 She’s the master of calendars, the queen of multitasking, and the only one who knows where literally everything is. (Seriously, how??) Jennifer, thank you for keeping us sane, semi-organized, and occasionally caffeinated. You’re the real MVP — Most Valuable Professional! 🙌💼☕ #AdminGoals #ThankYouJennifer #OfficeWizardry #QueenOfTheDesk

Our 3rd graders had a blast during our Easter Egg Hunt—but with a twist! Each egg was filled with ELA and Math questions to help review for the upcoming ATLAS testing. Students teamed up to solve problems, find eggs, and show off everything they’ve learned this year. Who says test prep can’t be fun? Great job, 3rd grade! #ATLASTestPrep #EasterEggHunt #3rdGradeReview #LearningIsFun

Yesterday ,PES reading interventionist, Chrissy Schluterman read How to Catch the Easter Bunny to Kendra Canada's 2nd grade class. Each student got to meet and pet Mrs. Schluterman's bunnies Carrots and Blueberry. They also all wrote out and designed a trap to catch the Easter Bunny.

Staci Schluterman’s 4th grade math class had some special visitors today to celebrate Dr. Seuss Week! Physical Therapist Cortney VanMeter and PES cafeteria employee Marilyn Rietman took time out of their busy schedules to read with our students — making reading extra fun and showing that books bring everyone together! Thank you, Cortney and Marilyn, for sharing your love of reading with our 4th graders! #DrSeussWeek #GuestReaders #ReadingIsFun #PESFamily

Our third graders had a wonderful time today with Jennette Gahlot, author of 14 amazing books! Jennette read to the students, shared her love for storytelling, and inspired our young readers to follow their own creative dreams. As a special treat, she left bookmarks for every student and even donated a few books for lucky giveaway winners! Thank you, Jennette, for sharing your time, talent, and passion for books with our students. We loved having you! #AuthorVisit #JennetteGahlot #YoungReaders #InspiringAuthors

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.
