School supplies will be provided free to students in grades K-4 again this school year. The supplies will be given to teachers to distribute to students as they are needed in the classroom.
WMS and BJHS will provide school supplies for students, as well. Students need to bring a backpack, 4 boxes of Kleenex, and 4 bottles of hand sanitizer.
EHS will provide students with a Chromebook, a three-ring binder, a spiral notebook, and pens. Teachers will pass out class materials lists during orientation or the first week of school. Supply lists are based on the needs of the individual class.

If you have a student who was absent or attended school virtually due to a COVID illness or quarantine fill out the form located on the ESD website or pick up a paper copy from Central Office.
All applications will be submitted to the Child Nutrition Office.
Questions need to be directed to Estelle Fox 870-864-5006 x1070.

Today, we celebrate Northwest Elementary teacher Mandy Kingery and the positive impact she makes each day!
“Mrs. Kingery made the transition to elementary school so easy. She went above and beyond to communicate with parents and keep parents involved in daily activities that their child was participating in or learning about. She instilled a love for school in my child and each day he was excited to come to school and learn. My child came to her not knowing how to read anything and is leaving kindergarten more than prepared for first grade. I feel that she set the best educational foundation for my son that will last his whole time in the ESD. A “thank you” doesn’t seem adequate enough but I truly thank Mrs. Kingery and everything she did for my child,” a former parent commented.
Thank you, Mrs. Kingery, for everything you do for our students!

Today, we celebrate El Dorado High School teacher Clair Antoon and the positive impact she makes each day!
“I would like to recognize Mrs. Antoon, because she is the sweetest! She also makes her class so much more enjoyable with her positive attitude and encouraging words,” a former student said. Another parent commented, “Mrs. Antoon helps prepare our students for college by being tough on them, but she still shows them she cares.”
Thank you, Mrs. Antoon, for everything you do for our students!
