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! 🐾

Due to inclement weather expected to impact our area this evening, we have made the decision to reschedule tonight’s Kindergarten graduation ceremony to Wednesday, May 21st, at 6:00 p.m. The event will still take place at the Siloam Springs High School PAC (main basketball court). All additional details previously shared on Friday—including drop-off and pick-up instructions—remain the same.
We understand that Wednesday evenings may be reserved for other commitments, including religious services. However, due to scheduling conflicts with other high school events, Wednesday, May 21st, was the only available option.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but the safety of our students, families, and staff is our top priority. We look forward to celebrating with you on Wednesday, May 21st at 6:00 p.m. in the High School PAC!

📣 Panther Spirit Walk Rescheduled 🐾 After careful consideration, we’re excited to share that the Panther Spirit Walk has been rescheduled for Friday, May 16th! We originally canceled the event due to the forecasted weather and, at the time, did not plan to reschedule. However, we’ve heard your voices and deeply appreciate the passion our community has for this new tradition. With that in mind, we’ve worked to find a new date so we can come together and celebrate our Panther pride as planned. Thank you for your patience, your feedback, and your continued support. We look forward to seeing everyone on May 16th!

🌱 Mental Health Awareness Week is Next Week! 💚
Let's help our littlest learners understand the importance of caring for our hearts and minds!
🗓 On Wednesday, May 7th, we’re asking everyone to wear GREEN to show support for Mental Health Awareness.
It’s a simple way to start important conversations about kindness, feelings, and taking care of ourselves and others.
Due to the forecasted weather, tomorrow’s Panther Spirit Walk has been cancelled. We’re just as bummed as you are! 😞 We were looking forward to celebrating the passing of Panther pride from our seniors to kindergarten students, but safety comes first. Stay dry and keep that Panther spirit alive—rain or shine! 🐾
