The district Point of Contact phone line (501-414-6647) will resume normal hours this week. Parents may reach the POC by email any time at bryantpointofcontact@bryantschools.org. Our POC will respond as soon as possible to all email messages.
Parents, please contact the POC to report a positive COVID-19 case with your student or within your family. Call or email if your child has been identified as a close contact with a positive case outside of school (church, family members, gyms, etc.). It is important that if a parent tests positive, the children who live in the home with them are quarantined.
We continue to rely on cooperation from families in reporting positive cases and identifying close contacts. The better we are with our prevention strategies, the longer we will be able to keep schools open and have children attend school in-person. Thank you all for your diligence in keeping our Hornets healthy!

On this Veterans Day, we honor the service of Colonel Jeremy Lasiter. Colonel Lasiter is Director of Human Resources and Legal Counsel for Bryant Public Schools.
Colonel Lasiter was sworn in the United States Air Force as a Commissioned Officer in February, 2012 after the attacks of 9/11. He is a JAG (Judge Advocate General) based at the Little Rock Air Force Base. He was pinned March 8, 2020 at the rank of Colonel. The photo was taken at his pinning ceremony with his children, Haley and Ira, and wife Angie.
He has served in both wartime (deployed to Afghanistan in 2009) and peacetime. He has served proudly, faithfully, and bravely, defending the United States and our freedoms. For his sacrifice and that of his loving family, we extend our heartfelt appreciation.
