SIS News and Celebrations

Enjoy your day off with your Friends and Family!

SIS give a big shout-out to the SHS Yellowjacket Football and Cheer team for greeting our students Friday morning! Our kids loved seeing and talking to them!

We look forward to seeing all of our Grands Thursday, September 5 at the SHS Cafeteria!

Just a friendly reminder that we are a peanut/tree-nut free campus. This includes all items brought in lunch boxes and snacks!

If you are riding the bus for the first time or even a previous bus rider, remember our expectations of the bus.

We had a great week at SIS! We spent a lot of time going over behavior expectations. We are excited and ready for a great year!

Mrs. McGinley’s fifth graders harvested pumpkins and watermelons this week! The pumpkins were part of a Statewide Horticulture Demonstration. Students found the mass of each pumpkin and checked for Melonworm and powdery mildew. The goal of the demonstration is to determine variety performance in Arkansas. The SIS garden had the most success with the Cinderella variety. The watermelons will be served in the school cafeteria.

Car tags are required daily to pick up students. You will be asked to come inside if you do not have your car tag. Each additional car tag needed will cost $1.00. Those will be available in the office to parents and guardians.

Chartwell's will begin serving snacks Tuesday, Septermber 4!

We always welcome you to SIS for lunch. Due to the limited seating in the cafeteria, we are taking reservations during lunch at school. Please call Michelle or Laura at 870-942-7488 to make your reservation. We will take reservations one week at a time. One family per table, please.
