PARENTS: All COVID related cases will now be processed through form or email. The POC phone line will no longer be used for reporting cases. Please remember to choose ONE reporting method only. All links are available at https://www.bryantschools.org/page/covid-19-information.
We ask for patience as we process all the cases. We are responding to forms and emails as quickly as possible. Please understand responses may not be immediate. Your child’s absences may initially show up as unexcused; however, once the case is completed, the attendance information will be updated.
We appreciate your help in reducing the spread of COVID in our Hornet family.

When notifying our district Point of Contact about positive cases of COVID, we ask that you choose ONE reporting method only. Submitting one of the forms is the most efficient means of contact. If you complete one of the forms, please do not email. If you email, please do not call/text. Our POC team is working diligently to process all of the cases; duplicate reports slow down the process.
METHODS TO REPORT: https://www.bryantschools.org/page/covid-19-information
Parents, thank you for being diligent in reporting positive COVID cases to our district Point of Contact (POC). Please know that our POC is working to process all the messages as quickly as possible.
When reporting a positive case or close contact, the best method is by email at bryantpointofcontact@bryantschools.org. The primary POC phone line is busy with a limit to the voicemails which can be received. You also have the option of sending a text message to (501) 414-6647.
If the voicemail is full on the primary phone, you may also call or text the secondary line at (501) 414-6550.
January is School Board Recognition Month. We say THANK YOU to our seven Board of Education members for their dedication and service to our students, staff, families, and community. #Teamof7 #opp4success

BHS art teacher Katherine Purcell is passionate about engaging her students.
In her 3D design and sculpture classes students created animations using the Stop Motion Studio and iMovie apps on their new iPads. They began by creating a storyboard to plan out their animations. They worked individually or in groups of two and were required to make their animations at least 10 seconds long (120 pictures) and to add sound using iMovie.
