Important Update for Bus Riders: Main Street is currently closed at the intersection of Main and Mississippi and will be for 2-3 days. If your child is a bus rider and you live on Main Street or Mississippi Street (on the Main Street end), buses may be delayed. Our Transportation Dept. will do the best they can to get students to their address, but there may be some stops that buses cannot directly access. If this is a concern for you, please make arrangements to pick up your child until the closure is complete. Thank you for your understanding, and we apologize for any inconvenience. If you have any questions, please contact our Transportation Department at 501-882-5463 ext 1200. Thank you.
