Due to a system upgrade over the break, there is a new Home Access Center (HAC) link. HAC allows students and parents the ability to see schedules, assignments, grades, and attendance. The link has been updated on the district website and on the app. You may also access HAC at hac20.esp.k12.ar.us. HAC passwords have been encrypted. Families now have the ability to access their own password retrieval when they can't remember their passwords.

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!

The district POC phone line will remain open until 8pm tonight (Sunday) for those who have had a positive COVID-19 test or have been designated as a close contact over the break. These individuals will not be able to attend school until their isolation or quarantine period is over. The number is 501-414-6647. Parents may also email bryantpointofcontact@bryantschools.org if the phone line is busy or unavailable.
