Michele Lewis has served as the principal at Parkway Elementary since its opening three years ago. She enjoys her role as building leader. “The fact that every day I get to do what I love and help shape the lives of our future leaders is an incredible feeling. There's nothing as great as seeing that you have made a difference in a child's life.” With over 27 years in education she has made a difference in hundreds of lives!
A report will be published by noon each Friday that shows the number of active positive COVID-19 cases for students/staff in the district. Find the October 9 report at bit.ly/BPSCases.
We want to remind parents to call the District Point of Contact (POC), 501-414-6647, to report a positive COVID-19 case with your student or within your family. Calls should also be made if your child has been identified as a close contact with a positive case outside of school (church, family members, gyms, etc.). It is also important that if a parent tests positive, the children who live in the home with them are quarantined.
Please call the POC even if you are unsure if you should. It is always better to be cautious in situations where the safety of others is concerned.
We appreciate your help in keeping our Hornet family healthy.

Bethel Middle School principal Chris Gabe believes the best thing about being a school leader is the greetings he receives from students and teachers every morning. His 23 years in education have been spent investing in both groups of people. His favorite quote comes from Benjamin Franklin. "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn."
Donaven Sims is serving his 5th year as Salem’s principal. He has 17 years in the education field. His favorite quote comes from Dr. Seuss, The Lorax:
“Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, Nothing is going to get better. It's not.”
Thank you, Mr. Sims, for caring for our Salem students, parents and staff!
