Field day at SIS was a blast!
Woo Pig Sooie! Students at SIS were excited to call the Hogs today! Tusk, the Razorback mascot, showed up for a surprise visit!
5th Grade GT students at SIS have been getting a head start on learning what it takes to open a business. They came up with their own business plans, and today they shared their plans with Jeremy Orman, who works at People’s Bank and serves on our school board. Mr. Orman also talked to them about the different types of loan structures for business loans. Mr. Orman said he was very proud to see the students are learning about entrepreneurship at such a young age and that he could tell the students put a lot of time into it.
This SIS teachers and staff would like to give a huge shout out to Principal Teresa Knight and Assistant Principal Tom Cypert! They are #NachoAveragePrincipals!
We are bucket drumming and celebrating our return to the music room!🎉🙌🏻💙💛 #sis #makeitcount #yjantion

This week our local Rotary club delivered dictionaries to all third graders in our district. Rotary has provided our students with dictionaries for many years now. We are thankful to be a part of a community that is always finding ways to support our students! #yjnation #makeitcount
Our students get so excited when they earn tickets to pick out a book from the book vending machine! Students earn tickets when they are caught doing an act of kindness or going above and beyond in academics or behavior. #makeitcount #yjnation
Big thanks to our Dining Services Department for making sure our students have meals to eat while we are out of school due to the inclement weather! Here they are passing out meals to students before the students went home today! #makeitcount #yjnation

SIS Families: As part of a coordinated response to the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Arkansas Department of Education in partnership with the Office for Education Policy at the University of Arkansas has developed a Parent/Guardian Survey to gather input from families throughout the state on what is working now and what may be considered for the future in education as it relates to the pandemic.
