From the Class of 2021, Acorn High School proudly selected Jayden Quebedeaux and Corryn Holland for this honor and to recognize their excellent academic achievements. Congratulations, Jayden and Corryn!
ORSD Family,
Today the Governor lifted the mask mandate across Arkansas. The Arkansas Department of Education has directed schools to meet two conditions before discontinuing the use of masks. First, the ORSD Ready for Learning Committee must meet and re-evaluate our safety measures given the Governor's announcement. Second, the ORSD School Board must meet and approve the safety recommendations of the Ready for Learning Committee. Until then, all students, teachers, and staff must continue to wear their masks at school. We will update you as more information is available.
Respectfully,
Jerrall Strasner Superintendent
