This message is to let you know that we have had a safe day at school. I do want you to be informed that there were two students that had made social media posts regarding rumors. These posts were not considered as specific threats but were handled immediately by the school resource officers. The Dardanelle School District will enforce strict consequences for students who either pose threats or spread rumors. Please know that the safety and well being of all of our students and staff is of most importance. Thank You

Attention Families: Here is a bit more information that may be helpful. 1. All schools will start at normal times tomorrow. 2. The information I sent earlier only referred to the morning bus routes. We will evaluate the afternoon routes tomorrow. 3. If you are unable to make it to school or your child's bus is not able to pick them up, their absence WILL be excused. 4. Please call 479-229-3620 for bus information or to try to arrange an alternate pick up for your child. We will do our best to accommodate your needs.
Attention bus riders: portions of our bus routes remain too difficult to drive for student pick up. This includes the dirt road section of Harkey Valley, the dirt road section of SLO Fork and the dirt road section of McCray Ridge on the Cat Bus. Also the upper part of River Mountain Road on the Kangaroo bus will not be available for student pick up. Thank you for your continued patience as we work towards returning to our normal bus routes.
