ALMA FOWARD 2040 SURVEY SERIES
This survey concerns feedback regarding technology. It is composed of four items. Your valuable feedback will guide the district in shaping future programs and improvements. We appreciate your participation.
Parents and guardians have received an email invitation to complete the survey. If you are a parent or guardian, kindly access the survey through the link provided in the email. This particular survey, however, is intended for community members. Thank you for your cooperation.

Parents and guardians - Please be aware that there is an app called Gradeway for HAC that has been posted on social media by area teachers who are encouraging use. This is NOT a PowerSchool product (parent company for TAC and HAC), and we can't guarantee the safety of the student information. We and the Arkansas Department of Education do not support this product.
Since the State is not supporting this app, we will not be supporting it either. The only app that is supported by the State is called the eSchoolPlus Family app. Be sure you choose Alma School District when you create the account, and you may need to reselect the district if you're accessing it again for the first time this school year.
Due to storm damage, the high school will have a virtual learning day today. All other schools will operate normally today. High school students will receive further instructions later today. High school staff report by 8:30 am for further instructions. Bus routes running for all other schools.
We are having a great first day of school at Alma Primary! While we are getting routines in place, we are asking that parents do not come to eat lunch at school with their children until after Labor Day. This will give everyone time to get adjusted to the lunch schedule and routine.
Thanks for your help with this!
