❄️❄️❄️ SNOW DAY ❄️❄️❄️
Due to inclement weather and road conditions, Bryant Public Schools will be closed on Tuesday, January 16.
In preparation for the well below-normal temperatures next week, the great people of Saline County have come together to organize a COMMUNITY Warming Center!
Saline County Warming Center Quick Facts:
📍 Northside Church of Christ (917 N. East St. Benton, next to Saline Memorial Hospital)
⏰ Opens: Sunday, Jan. 14 at 5pm (opening depending on current weather conditions)
📱To volunteer, call (501) 528-9668 or email salinewarmingcenter@gmail.com.
With winter weather in the forecast, now is a good time to review our inclement weather procedures. In the event that the school district has to cancel school due to inclement weather, we will have a traditional snow day.
The district is utilizing an alternative calendar with additional instructional hours scheduled above what is required by the state. As long as the district does not close for more than five days, days will not have to be added to the end of the school year.
IF it should be necessary to close school, parents will be notified by all District communication channels such as phone call, text, email, website, mobile app and social media as well as news outlets.
Please consider donating your gently-used suits and formal dresses to the BHS prom closet! Donations can be dropped off to the BHS front office during school hours. #opp4success #BryantProud

Reminder: There will be NO late start Wednesday at BHS tomorrow, December 20. School will begin at 7:55 AM.
The Bryant School Board meets monthly. Following each regular meeting, Bryant Public Schools will provide a School Board Recap.

Two BHS students placed in the recent Congressional App Challenge sponsored by Congressman French Hill.
Freddy Giron won first place with his app called “Adult Basics” which shows young adults how to do things such as writing a check.
Summer Chirpich received an honorable mention with her app “Hungry". Summer's app allows a person to list what is in their refrigerator and then suggests a recipe based on those ingredients.
We are #BryantProud of these students who used their skills to develop and code these creative apps. Brenda Qualls is their Computer Science Teacher. #ComputerScience #AppChallenge
Bryant High School Student Senate has a long tradition of serving those in our school community. Each Christmas, they work with clubs, organizations, and teachers on campus to sponsor 50 children. Groups purchase a variety of toys and clothing for their sponsored child and turn them in to be collected by Salvation Army. District social worker Lisa McNeely coordinates with Salvation Army and arranges pick-up.
BHS senior Keylli Pablo Flores spent over $75 of her own funds to purchase the toys two children wished for this year. Her teacher, Mr. David Seal, sponsors children with his quantitative literacy classes and encourages his students to give back and help others for the holidays. What a way to spread joy in the holiday season! 🎄🎁🎅
There will be NO late start Wednesday at BHS this week (December 13) or next week (December 20). Classes will begin at 7:55 AM these days.
Late start Wednesdays will resume January 10.
