In adherence with the CDC’s recommendations, El Dorado Schools will remain open unless a confirmed case of COVID-19 becomes present in our area. It is important to know that the El Dorado School District cannot make the decision to close. The decision is made by the Arkansas Department of Health and the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. In the event that this happens and our schools have to close, we have sent home AMI information with our students today. Please keep this information in a safe place. You may also access this information from our website under the Student section of the Menu. AMI packets are only to be done in the event of school closures. If our schools close, we will post that information to our website and social media pages. Please follow El Dorado School District and download our mobile app to get the most up to date information.
