Eureka Springs Elementary

Elementary Parents: Thank you for your patience and cooperation during dismissal these past few weeks. Because dismissal is now more streamlined, we have adjusted our CAR dismissal time to 2:55 p.m. This still gives us enough time to have cars released before the buses arrive. AND, we are gaining an extra 15 minutes of instructional time! Win/Win!
