Help us welcome our new Band Director to the district!! 🎼 “Hello all! My name is JonPaul Dean and I am joining Eureka Springs Schools as the new director of bands. I am excited to get started with my second year of teaching and sharing my love of music with the community. I grew up in Berryville, Arkansas until I finished 5th grade, after which I moved to Branson, Missouri and completed 6th-12th grade. In the summer of 2014, right after graduating high school, I auditioned and marched with Gold Drum and Bugle Corps as part of Drum Corps International. After completing my season with Gold, I attended college at Missouri State University where I received my BME in Instrumental Music Education in May of 2020. I was very active in music since arriving at MSU, participating in the MSU Pride Marching Band, Wind Ensemble, Orchestra, Jazz Studies I Ensemble, Trombone Choir, Trombone Octet, Trombone Quartet, and even two semesters in a euphonium quartet. In addition to playing in all of the top ensembles available to me, I had the opportunity to perform at the Missouri Music Educators Association conference, the College Band Directors National Association conference, the Kauffman Center in Kansas CIty, and in New York City with the Jazz Studies I Ensemble. As a member of the MSU Trombone Octet, I performed at the Midwest Trombone Euphonium Conference (Eastern Illinois University), in a special concert with the Trombones of the St. Louis Symphony (Sheldon Concert Hall), The Big XII Trombone Conference (Texas Tech University), and the American Trombone Workshop (Washington, DC). I completed my student teaching at Lebanon R-III School District in the Spring of 2020, but had worked with their band program for several years prior as a private lessons teacher and Low Brass Technician. My family lives in the area, so I enjoy being able to see them much more often. Some of the things I enjoy doing are floating the river in a kayak, cooking (especially if it’s something I’ve never made before), learning new instruments, and spending time with my Goldendoodle, Iggy. He is the sweetest, most energetic goofball of a dog- but he’s mine and I love him. I have been teaching myself guitar for a little over a year now, and I’m very much enjoying both the process and the instrument. If you happen to play, I would love to sit down and jam sometime."
The Eureka Springs Hospital will be having a vaccination clinic for any staff or students who would like to receive the Pfizer Vaccine ages 12 and up. The clinic will be held on Thursday, August 12th in the Middle School Gym from 2:00pm - 5:00pm. This will be a two dose series. We plan to schedule another vaccine clinic at the school for the 2nd dose in three weeks. You will be notified of that when scheduled.
In light of the current situation with the Delta Variant of Covid-19 and in an effort to ensure all learners are successful, Eureka Springs School District is considering a virtual learning option for the 2021-22 school year.
If you are a parent/guardian in the Eureka Springs District, we are asking for your input. Please complete an online interest survey at https://forms.gle/vMh6FW6y8nBd6QbZ9.
Responding that your student is interested in a virtual learning option does NOT represent a commitment that a virtual option will be available. The data collected in this survey will be used for planning purposes only.
We appreciate your feedback!
