The Cross County School District has had one elementary teacher test positive for COVID-19 since school started. District employees and parents of students who may have come in contact with the teacher were contacted and notified of the possible contact. The District has followed protocols and sanitized all areas where the individual may have been, in addition to our everyday cleaning at the schools. In an abundance of caution, four employees and one class of elementary students will be required to quarantine. The impacted class will participate in remote learning instruction during the isolation period.
The District will continue to notify anyone who came in contact with an individual who is positive for any future cases. We are continuously working with the Arkansas Department of Health and the Arkansas Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to make sure we are following the most recent guidelines and keeping our schools as safe as possible.
We continue to encourage all parents to temperature scan and monitor students closely for any sign of potential illness. Students should remain at home if they are exhibiting any symptoms of COVID-19, including fever, new or persistent cough, headache, loss of taste or smell, fatigue, and/or stomach issues (diarrhea). We must work together to combat this virus and stay in school.

For clarification from our last message: this is the same form we fill out each year so all students can use our technology in their classrooms while at school. It also allows high school students to be issued their MacBooks! Normally we fill these forms out on paper, but this link allows you to fill it out digitally. We will see you tomorrow in school!
Attention CCSD Parents! Follow the link below to fill out the Acceptable Use Agreement so your student can pick up their Macbook or iPad tomorrow at school!
You can fill out the form on your phone or computer. Make sure you enter an email address so a copy of the form can be sent back to you! We know our students are eager to get their technology--thank you for helping us complete the process without handling paper forms!
