COVID-19 - UPDATE - School Closure, AMI, Parent/Teacher Conference, & Meal Option Information

Dear Panther Families,

First of all, we want to say thank you for your patience. These last few days have certainly been challenging. We also want to make sure our families are up-to-date with the latest information regarding COVID-19. 

During the Governor's Sunday press conference (3/15), Governor Hutchinson authorized all schools in Arkansas to close for the next two weeks, beginning Monday, March 16.

How does this impact Cabot Public Schools?

Cabot Public Schools will be closed from March 16-20, and through Spring Break, March 23-27. Unless otherwise directed by Governor Hutchinson, Arkansas Department of Health, and the Arkansas Department of Education, students will return to class on Monday, March 30.

What about class assignments?

AMI work/instructions have already been sent home with your student. If you have any AMI questions or concerns, you can call your child's school Monday, March 16, from 8:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m. Administrators will be available to answer any questions regarding class assignments.

You may also contact your child's teacher through email or other means of communication (Remind, Class Dojo, Google Classroom, etc.).
