Reminder: For student safety reasons, the Piggott School District is a CLOSED campus. Students must be checked out according to handbook policy on page 38. The preferred method to checking your student out is for the parent or guardian to check out the student in person. If a student brings a note to school, it will need to be delivered to the front office between 7:45-8am daily and the note will be verified by the office. At the time students are to check out, they will report to the office to sign out and receive a slip to be off campus. If they return to school that day, the student will need to report back to the office and sign back in. Students not following proper procedure will be considered truant and be given proper consequences.
Reminder: Tomorrow is the last day to order the t-shirt from the Junior class fundraiser.
The Junior class t-shirt orders are due Friday, February 24. We have extra order forms in the elementary and high school front offices.
