Exciting news from Ram Academy! Congratulations are in order for RA teacher, Tyson Davis. Over the summer he was awarded with the ASBA Foundation Scholarship. Mr. Davis is currently working on his Masters in Educational Leadership at ASU and hopes to be a Principal one day. Congratulations Mr. Davis! Mr. Jeremy Howell was honored for Custodian Appreciation Day yesterday. He does an amazing job for us at Ram Academy and we are thankful he is part of the Ram family! We introduced the Ram Academy Student of the Month. Staff looked at the work done in and out of the classroom to see who would go above and beyond what is asked of them. We are pleased to announce Mr. Matt Weatherspoon as the Ram Academy Student of the Month for September. Matt, an 11th grader, has been working hard on his school work and has been very helpful and polite. Way to go Matt! We are proud of you! #psdrams #RiseUpRams

K-6 enters through the gate on the west side of the track (near home bleachers) and 7-12 enters through the north gate (closest to the field house). You get to be up close to the cheerleaders; the Mob dance team; the Paragould Pride Marching Band; and our PHS football team - you can't beat this experience! See you tonight at Ram Stadium!

Health and safety will always remain a top priority for the Paragould School District. In April of 2022 the district discontinued the practice of contact tracing/quarantining of probable close contacts and reimplemented policy 4.34 as the district’s response to student illnesses. We continue to utilize policy 4.34 to guide our response to illnesses. Anyone who tests positive for COVID-19 will be required to isolate at home for 5 days from the onset of symptoms or a positive test. The Arkansas Department of Health guidance states that the isolated individual may return to school on day 6 with a mask and must continue to wear the mask around others through the 10th day. If the Individual is unable to wear a mask, he/she will be required to continue to isolate for the full 10 days. If you have any questions regarding COVID-19 please contact Lynn Treece at 870-565-8686 or email ltreece@paragouldschools.net.

Today we are highlighting 4 new staff members: Grace Dial, Brandon Harper, Markus Pillow, and Chandel Knuckles. Welcome to the Ram family! #RiseUpRams #psdrams
