The District is currently exploring calendar options for the 2024-2025 school start date. We are asking for your feedback. Would you support efforts in seeking a waiver to start the 2024-2025 school year as soon as August 12, 2024, in place of August 19, 2024? Starting a week early will give the District a better chance of being out of school prior to Memorial Day. Click the link below to submit your response.

The Paragould Police Department is investigating a threatening note found on the Junior High School Campus. They have determined where the note originated and have arrested the student that wrote the note. The District encourages parents to speak with their children about the seriousness and potential consequences of making threats, even as a joke. All threats are taken seriously and investigated, and any students caught making threats may face possible criminal charges and expulsion from school. Student safety will always be paramount within the Paragould School District.
The Division of Elementary and Secondary Education has issued a waiver that allows Districts to transition their calendar from traditional to alternate. Alternate calendars require 1,068 hours. Through the waiver process Districts have been allowed to "bank" instructional time and substitute that time for inclement weather days. The Paragould School District exceeds the minimum standard of 6 hours of instruction each day and will take advantage of the waiver process. Transitioning to an alternate calendar ensures that all PreK-12 students will NOT be required to make up inclement weather days for up to 7 days.

PSD to host 2nd Bond Restructure Public Forum this Thursday at 6:00pm. The meeting will be held on the Oak Grove Middle School campus. All are welcome and invited to attend.
Earlier this morning the Paragould Police Department launched an investigation regarding a social media post. The threat has been addressed and the investigation is actively moving forward at this time. We certainly appreciate local authorities for their quick response and their assistance in resolving this matter. Student safety will always be paramount within the Paragould School District. We appreciate your understanding.
The Paragould School District has been made aware of a random social media post. Authorities were notified and have determined where the post originated. This matter is currently under investigation. Out of precaution, additional officers will be on site. The safety of our students and staff is high priority for the district. We will continue to work with the Paragould Police Department to investigate this matter to the fullest and keep the public aware of developments to the best of our ability.
