Stay tuned and enjoy the last bit of summer! ☀️#PantherNation
🐾 Our Animal Science classes toured the Simmons Pet Food Facility and got a behind-the-scenes look at how nutritious meals for pets are made — from ingredients to packaging. Students learned about quality control, sustainability, and even discovered exciting career opportunities right here at home! Can’t wait for more hands-on experiences like this THIS YEAR!!! #PantherNation
Don’t forget to check off “Back to School Forms” on your 2025-26 to-do list before Open Houses! Completing the online paperwork ahead of time means less hassle and stress during that busy first week of school—because no one wants to deal with last-minute paperwork when the school year is just getting started. Get everything ready early for a smooth start! #PantherNation
🎬 Panther TV is a finalist in the Keep Arkansas Beautiful PSA Contest! Ninth graders Ella Harper and Jaelyn Baum create a standout PSA featuring downtown Siloam Springs—and it’s shown Friday night in Fayetteville at “Movie in the Park,” hosted by the Fort Smith International Film Festival and Arkansas Cinema Society. With it being summer and the students not quite driving yet, a Panther TV rep steps in to attend and accept their amazing prize bags (so much merch!)—and even snaps a photo with Otto the Otter, the Keep Arkansas Beautiful mascot. #PantherNation
☀️ Summer hours are coming to a close, and we're getting back to our regular schedule! Starting this week, all school offices and our district administration office will be open Monday through Friday during normal business hours. We’re excited to welcome everyone back and help you get ready for the new school year! 🐾📚 #PantherNation
🐾SSHS Students Represent at National TSA Conference! At the end of June, 21 students from Siloam Springs High School traveled to Nashville, TN to attend the National TSA (Technology Student Association) Conference. These dedicated students earned their spots through hard work and commitment to STEM and leadership—all during their summer break! While in Nashville, they had a blast connecting with students from around the world and gained valuable real-world learning experiences. SSHS is proud of their accomplishments and excited to see how they continue to grow as leaders and innovators. #PantherNation
Hello July🐾
Heads up - our front office is temporarily closed today! Thank you for understanding.
2025–2026 School Supplies Update 📚 This year, things look a little different when it comes to school supplies! We are excited to announce that the majority of school supplies for students in Kindergarten through 8th grade will be provided by the district! That means families only need to purchase the few specific items listed for their child’s grade level—nothing more. We understand that “back-to-school shopping” is a special tradition for many families, and we still want you to enjoy that experience. But we also recognize that times are tough, and even with the district supplying the majority of items, it can still be a financial strain.
🎒 Need a little extra support? We encourage families to register for the Bright Futures Backpack Distribution, happening Saturday, August 2nd from 10:00 AM–12:00 PM. NOTE: Registration is required by July 21st to participate. (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSenEWQvvVJIjmd2YTSFiYenPV-j5oraQ4gaHhSuM4Ii_Wv1_g/viewform)
We’re proud to support our Panther families and help every student start the school year strong! 🐾
Mark your calendars for our Bright Futures annual Backpack Distribution ‼ Students enrolled in the SSSD who need assistance with backpack/school supplies can register to receive one at this event. Online registration deadline: JULY 21ST.
