Parents - our 8th, 10th and 12th grade students will be taking the APNA survey on November 28. APNA (Arkansas Prevention Needs Assessment Student Survey) is sponsored by the AR Dept. of Human Services and results are used to help plan substance abuse prevention strategies and programs. This is a completely anonymous and voluntary survey that takes about 45 minutes to complete. A letter will be sent home with students tomorrow. If you would prefer that your student NOT participate in the APNA survey, please send the denial of permission slip on the bottom of the letter back to school before November 27.
Gurdon School District has been awarded a $16,519.00 NSLP equipment assistance grant for a new double convection gas oven in our GHS/CES cafeteria! We can't wait to put it to use cooking healthy and tasty meals for our students! #BeGreat
Exciting news! Thanks to the generous support from Arkansas Blue Cross and Blue Shield, we're thrilled to announce that our school is one of 75 selected to receive a $2,500.00 grant to create a calming room for students. 🎉 This dedicated space will provide a peaceful retreat for those in need of a moment to recharge and find inner balance.
