Crossett School District will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday, January 18 and 19, 2022, to onsite instruction due to the impact of Covid on our faculty and staff. The District will use AMI days and students will continue instruction each day by completing their assigned work in their Google Classroom. Teachers will be available for questions and support by email and Google Classroom. Meals for students will be available at each school on Wednesday, January 19 and may be picked up between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.
Crossett School District is planning for students to return to school on Tuesday, January 18, 2022, but there is a strong possibility, due to the impact of Covid, that we will not open and will need to extend our AMI days because we will not have enough faculty present to have school.
We will announce no later than the afternoon of Monday, January 17, through social media if school will be open or if we will continue with another AMI day and students will complete instruction through their Google Classroom.
Attn Parents/ Guardians:
Friday, January 14th will be an AMI day. Students will work virtually from home on Google Classroom. A decision for Tuesday January 18th will be made closer to that date.
Teachers will be available for support by email, google meets, and/ or zoom.
CES WILL have their after-school program this afternoon as normal.
We hope you have an enjoyable weekend.

The Crossett School Board of Education approved a Resolution on October 11, 2021, that Mask requirements would be dependent upon the Arkansas Center for Health Improvement’s (ACHI) COVID-19 Map. The following will determine if masks are required or strongly recommended while indoors and not able to maintain physical distancing of six feet or greater:
ACHI designation of Purple (over 100 active infections per 10K People): Masks Required
ACHI designation of Red (between 50 and 99 active infections per 10K People) Masks Required
ACHI designation of Orange (between 30 and 49 active infections per 10K People) or higher for two consecutive weeks: Masks Required
ACHI designation of Yellow (between 20-29 active infections per 10K People) or lower for two consecutive weeks: Masks Strongly Recommended
ACHI designation of Light Green (between 10-19 active infections per 10K People) Masks Strongly Recommended
ACHI designation of Dark Green (between 0-9 active infections per 10K People) Masks Strongly Recommended
Currently Crossett School District has been designated as Yellow or lower for two consecutive weeks and will strongly recommend masks for all students, staff, and visitors while indoors and not able to maintain physical distancing of six feet or greater.
Arkansas Department of Health quarantine guidelines are still in place and contact tracing will continue in the event a positive case of COVID-19 is reported.
