Hello Monitor Families, To meet the needs of our families, the Springdale School District is offering three options for students for the 2020-21 school year. We have missed our students and would love to have all of our students back in our school building for on-site instruction. On-site instruction, blended instruction, and virtual instruction (through DTSOI) are the three models available for students. The deadline to enroll in the virtual option at DTSOI is July 31st. If interested, this is the link to enroll in the virtual option. http://springdalear.apptegy.us/o/don-tyson-school-of-innovation/page/via-virtual-innovation-academy. The district is distributing a survey for families to complete regarding fall enrollment. Please be looking for this.
