Dear Parents and Guardians,

We are excited to work alongside you to ensure that our students have a successful school year. De Queen Public Schools believes that each of you plays a major role in our efforts to increase parental and community engagement and we have seen how those roles have come together to overcome challenges during this unique and challenging school year.

As it has with many of our regular school activities, Covid-19 is having an impact on how we will be conducting parent-teacher conferences. To protect the health of everyone, we will not be conducting face-to-face parent-teacher conferences on campus. Teachers will be available through email on April 1st from 3 PM TO 4 PM.

Due to the limitations of the campus phone system, teachers will not be able to communicate via phone calls during this time. However, if you feel the need for a one on one conversation with a teacher, a phone conference can be scheduled with teachers during their regular conference hours.

Once again, we want to thank you all for your continued support and patience you have shown while we navigate this unique school year. Building and maintaining good parent-school relationships help support each child’s education and we encourage you to join us in this partnership to help our students learn and succeed.

Sincerely,

Beau McCastlain

De Queen Public Schools
