End-of-Year Procedures
As the 2019-2020 school year comes to a close, Fort Smith Public Schools has developed the following end-of-year guidance for elementary and secondary schools, respectively.
End of Year Procedures will follow current physical distancing guidelines directed by the Arkansas Department of Health (ADH) and the Arkansas Division of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE).
Chromebooks
FSPS will not collect district-issued Chromebooks from current K - 11 FSPS students who are returning to Fort Smith Public Schools in August 2020. Please encourage your children to care for them and use them to support everyday learning throughout the summer. Fort Smith Public Schools will apply the appropriate maintenance to student Chromebooks in the Fall.
If your child will not be returning to FSPS in the fall, please call their school to make an appointment to return the Chromebook before May 28. If you learn that you are moving after May 28, please call FSPS Technology, (479) 784-8130, 2303 or email studenthelpdesk@fortsmithschools.org to make an appointment to return your device to the Rogers Center, 2901 Kinkead Avenue.
