Helen Tyson Middle School

🐝🐝💚💚💛💛🐝🐝💚💚💛💛. Welcome Mrs. Taylor to HTMS. “Hello! My name is Mrs. Taylor and I can’t wait to rejoin the HTMS team this year. I am originally from the Chicagoland area, but I attended college at John Brown University and love the NWA area. I love to teach, and I especially love to teach middle school! This year will be my fifth year teaching at the middle level. My past experience includes two years of teaching at Helen Tyson Middle School from 2017-2019, and I loved it! I spent the 2019-2020 school year in the state of Washington, spending time with my family and teaching middle school there. This year, I’m excited to be back at Helen Tyson! Outside of teaching, I enjoy exercising, cooking and spending time with family and friends. I’m looking forward to a great year! Go Hornets!" 🐝🐝🐝

Springdale Students, Parents/Guardians, Teachers, and Staff, At the July School Board meeting, the School board of Springdale Public approved a temporary policy to require face coverings for staff and students when social distancing is not possible. This requirement includes any time a student is on district property, district-owned transportation or school-sponsored activities. Students will be able to remove face coverings while eating meals or snack, and will be given breaks throughout the day. Students will be placed at least six feet apart during face-covering breaks. The Springdale School District is providing two washable coverings for each student. Additionally, due to the governor of Arkansas moving the start date of schools, a new revised Academic Calendar was approved. Teacher inservice will begin August 11th. We know that having warm water in every building in the school district is important! We are installing hot water heaters in 7 of our schools: Walker, Westwood, Parson Hills, Elmdale, Jones, Lee, Smith, Southwest, Central, and Springdale High School. Every building in the Springdale School System will have warm water for washing hands! Our curriculum and instruction team released more information explaining details of what Blended Model Learning will be for the upcoming school year. The Springdale School District is committed to helping each student reach his or her full potential. Personalized learning has been and will continue to be our focus. We look forward to partnering with each of you in the creation of a culture focused on caring and safety as we navigate this new educational landscape together. Dr. Jared Cleveland Superintendent of Springdale Schools
