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.
Bus Route 114 will be delayed up to 20-25 minutes this morning (Wednesday, January 10).
Bryant Public Schools does not plan to close today. The temperature is above freezing with rain expected by noon. Enjoy this beautiful snowfall! ❄️🌨️
We are excited to welcome our Hornets back to school tomorrow for a new year full of new opportunities! #opp4success
Happy New Year! May 2024 be the best ever.
We wish all of our Hornets a Holly Jolly Christmas! 🎄🎁
