KINDERGARTEN EARLY ENROLLMENT starts April 1st
On March 30th, 2021, Governor Asa Hutchinson and the Arkansas Department of Health made a joint decision to lift the mask mandate in Arkansas.
Throughout the pandemic, Greenwood Public School District has followed all recommendations and guidelines of the Arkansas Department of Health and we will continue to do so.
After meeting with our Certified Personnel Policy Committee, Classified Personnel Policy Committee, and the Ready for Learning Committee (comprised of teachers, health care workers, parents, maintenance staff, administrators, food service director, transportation director, and security director), the decision was made to remove the mask policy for Greenwood Public Schools effective immediately.
Although masks are no longer required, students, staff, and visitors are welcome to continue to wear masks during the school day and at school events.
All other directives of the Arkansas Department of Health will continue to be in effect including enhanced cleaning practices, screening procedures, and social distancing when possible.
An updated Ready for Learning Plan with the new directives and guidelines will be posted on our website and social media pages for public comment by April 15, 2021. We value your suggestions and comments and appreciate your involvement in this process.
GSPIRE SUMMER EDITION Registration starts Thursday, April 1st.
In response to Governor Asa Hutchinson’s announcement regarding the mask mandate set to expire at midnight April 1st, Greenwood School District administrators will meet with the Certified Personnel Policy Committee, Classified Personnel Policy Committee, and the Ready for Learning Committee to discuss the Governor’s recommendations, and to make decisions on mask mandates and social distancing guidelines for the remainder of the school year.
Please watch for a release with updated guidelines on March 31st.
If you have input you would like to share with us, please email info@greenwoodk12.com

Governor Asa Hutchinson has designated March 15-19 as G.U.I.D.E. for Life Week in the state of Arkansas.
All Arkansas students should graduate with a strong foundation of academic knowledge, experience, and proficiencies. To be successful, students also need an equally strong foundation of soft skills – those intangible abilities that help people get along with others, communicate well, and make positive contributions in the workplace and beyond.
The Division of Elementary and Secondary Education has identified five guiding principles that support educators, business leaders, communities, and students in their efforts to help all Arkansans develop these critical skills. The principles represent skills needed to thrive at home, school, on the job, and in the community: Growth (manage yourself). Understanding (know yourself). Interaction (build relationships). Decisions (make responsible choices), Empathy (be aware of others).
The G.U.I.D.E. for Life program, with the support of Arkansas counselors and educators, is designed to give K-12 students a plan – a five-step process – that they can follow to achieve personal success. Each principle is summarized in easy-to-understand key words, with three action points to explain the idea. By incorporating the G.U.I.D.E. for Life concepts throughout the school experience, we can help instill these “real-world” skills for success in all Arkansas students. The result? Well-rounded citizens, stronger communities, and more effective employees.

Message from Dr. Dustin Smith, Athletic Director
Bulldog fans,
As we have three more road conference basketball games, I wanted to remind you all of the protocols for tickets at away games. We have been allotted a certain number of tickets for games on the road due to the Covid restrictions. The coaches have vouchers for player's families to get into games. These vouchers have been approved by the conference and entitles the holder of the voucher the opportunity to purchase tickets when they get to the game. There are not any extra tickets available. I wanted to relay this information to you so that you didn't travel to the road games hoping to get in and not be able to. We will continue to livestream the games on Greenwood Sports Center on Youtube and Facebook. Thank you for your support of our Lady Bulldogs and Bulldogs.

Thanksgiving Break Reminder!
At the November Board meeting, East Pointe Elementary School staff was honored for the award of being a PLC Model School.
Receiving the certificate from Dr. Brad Johnson is Dr. Josh Ray, principal, Faith Short, assistant principal, along with the staff of East Pointe on Zoom.
East Pointe Elementary School has been recognized as a
Model Professional Learning Community at work.
One of about 200 Schools and Districts in the U.S. and Canada to
receive this honor.
East Pointe was recently recognized by Solution Tree for its
sustained success in raising student achievement.
PLCs are schools and districts in which educators recognize the key
to improved learning for students is on=going, job-embedded
learning for the adults who serve those students. The three big
ideas of a PLC call upon educators to:
Focus on learning
Build a collaborative culture
Create a results orientation
Schools are recognized based on strict criteria, including
demonstration of a commitment to PLC concepts, implementation of
these concepts for at least three years, and clear evidence of
improved student learning over that period.
Congratulations to the East Pointe Elementary staff for
this honor!
At the November board meeting Superintendent John Ciesla presented a recap of the 2019-20 Annual Report to the Public.

Monday's JV game is canceled.
The Greenwood Education Foundation is pleased to announce that the induction of the 2020 Hall of Honor will be held on Friday, October 16th on the field at Smith-Robinson Stadium beginning 6:45, pregame of the Greenwood-Russellville football game.
A reception honoring the inductees will be held in the GHS Student Union from 5:30-6:30.
The members of the 2020 Hall of Honor Class for the Greenwood Education Foundation are:
Dr. Ken Hamilton
Dr. Lee Johnson
Mr. Curtis Weaver
Many times an individual invests his time, money and effort in another person and tries to remain a silent investor. Such is the case of Curtis Weaver. His known investments in business and unknown investments in people have produced uncompromising dividends. Although he is well-known for some of his timely investments, many more are unknown or the credit for his investments had been transferred to others.
Weaver and Glenda Rogers met while attending Texas Tech. Both were from large, hard working, strong, valued centered, west Texas families. They were married in 1965. Thus began a journey which 56 years later has them call Greenwood their home.
Upon graduation from college, Curtis accepted a position with the Samsonite Corporation in Denver, Colorado, which led to transfers to six different states. He worked with Labor Relations, in Manufacturing and was considered the “turn-around” person to improve performance. Finally, in 1977, Curtis and Glenda, 4th grade daughter, Laurie, and 2nd grade son, Jeff, were transferred to Fort Smith. They determined Greenwood would be their permanent home.
One of his fondest memories of making Greenwood home was taking his son, Jeff, to his first live football game. Walking through the yet to be completed Smith-Robinson Stadium led them to the “old football field” with rock bleachers and a section of metal bleachers filled with Greenwood fans. They were hooked! That one experience led the family to be Bulldog fans for life.
Weaver always had a dream of owning his own company. In 1982, he and Glenda accepted the challenge of starting a small business and committed to being a Bulldog as long as his life cycle would allow. He proved his abilities as an entrepreneur through building and expanding local companies (SEBA and OEI). He always looked for employees who would work, who knew what they could and couldn’t do, and who were willing to learn. One of his greatest joys was coaching a young person on job performance and how to be successful in business. The Weavers successfully operated businesses with the commitment of many devoted employees and heartfelt support of the community.
With a dedication to the community, Curtis served on the Greenwood School Board (1984-1990), the Greenwood Bulldog Foundation Board, a non-profit corporation with a mission to provide small and large capital projects for Greenwood School athletics (1981-present), and numerous other public and private boards. When the decision was made to install artificial turf at the football stadium, Curtis helped establish a committee and an effective plan to raise funds to pay for the project. Follow-up to the artificial turf was the installation of the large video board and the live streaming of all football games which required interfacing with technicians, installers and new technology training. Weaver willingly put in the time and effort to learn what was needed to provide the services to school and community programs and then stepped up to get it done. Walking in step with the administrations of different boards has always been fulfilling and satisfying and giving back has always been a major part of Weaver’s life as a Greenwood resident.
Weaver and his family have worshipped at Northside Church of Christ since moving to Greenwood. Curtis gives much of the credit for his success as an individual to his wife, Glenda, for her support and her determination as a wife, mother and business partner. His impressive business acumen, his leadership skills and ideas, his many contributions to the school and community, and his quality of character make him most deserving of selection to the GEF 2020 Hall of Honor.

The Greenwood Education Foundation is pleased to announce that the induction of the 2020 Hall of Honor will be held on Friday, October 16th on the field at Smith-Robinson Stadium beginning 6:45, pregame of the Greenwood-Russellville football game.

Dr. Lee Johnson
Mr. Curtis Weaver
Dr. Lee Johnson is a 1988 graduate of Greenwood High School and a 1992 graduate of Hendrix College with a Bachelor of Arts degree (summa cum laude). From Hendrix his educational journey continued to the University of Arkansas Medical School (92-96) with completion of his residency in Emergency Medicine in 1999. He immediately began working in the emergency department at Sparks Hospital. He has served as a medical director for the Emergency Department for 18 years and currently serves as a Regional Medical Director for Envision Physician Services of Arkansas and six other states.
His roots and his desire to continue his family legacy of service brought him back to the Greenwood area. He is very proud of his family connections to Greenwood. Both of his parents are GHS graduates (Kay Bridges - 1968 and Donnie Johnson - 1967) as are his grandparents on his mother’s side (Violet and Hughes Bridges). Dr. Johnson said, “There are more of my relative’s names on the sidewalks of Greenwood than I can count. I am very proud to have my roots here.” Having been positively impacted by the community of Greenwood during his formative years, and wanting that for his own children, the Johnsons moved to Greenwood in 2005.
Involvement in the school and community became a driving force in Dr. Johnson’s life. He was elected to the Greenwood City Council in 2008 where he served until 2018. He was then elected to the Arkansas State House of Representatives for District 75 (parts of Crawford and Sebastian counties). He has shaped a stellar resume’ of service to Greenwood and the surrounding areas: Volunteer Medical Director of the Good Samaritan Clinic, Board of Directors of the South Sebastian Boys and Girls Club, Greenwood Parks Committee, Bell Park Foundation, Board of Directors of Sparks Regional Medical Center, The Degen Foundation, BOST Foundation, Greenwood Economics Development Committee and was appointed by the governor to the State Board of Health from 2016-2018. These are just a few of the committees and boards on which he has served.
One very important aspect of his medical career is serving as the volunteer physician for the Greenwood Bulldogs Athletics Program. Bulldog fans are accustomed to seeing him pace the sidelines or sit close-by in the bleachers overseeing the welfare of Greenwood athletes. He also currently volunteers with the Greenwood Special Olympics. Greenwood schools, Greenwood athletics and the community of Greenwood are the grateful recipients of Johnson’s passion, commitment and medical expertise in so many areas.
Through his characteristic humility, Dr. Johnson has illustrated that true leaders are servants. The degrees, the titles, the honors, and the accolades are a postscript to who Lee Johnson is. A son, a husband, a father, a friend--those are the only titles he wears with pride. It is only fitting to end with the accomplishments he holds most dear: Lee and his wife Jennifer have been married for 25 years and have three children, Will (21), Luke (19) and Wesley. (16 and an endeared member of the Lady Bulldog Volleyball Team)
Congratulations to Lee Johnson on his Induction to the 2020 Greenwood Education Foundation Hall of Honor.

A reception honoring the inductees will be held in the GHS Student Union from 5:30-6:30.
The members of the 2020 Hall of Honor Class for the Greenwood Education Foundation are:
Dr. Ken Hamilton
Dr. Lee Johnson
Mr. Curtis Weaver
Dr. Ken Hamilton is a 1967 honor graduate from Greenwood High School and a member of the 1967 GHS Hall of Fame. Coming from a family with a widowed mother, he was the first in his family to attend college. He carried his academic successes and desire to achieve from high school to college and graduated with a B.A. Biology and B.S. Medical Technology from Arkansas Tech University and a Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of Missouri/Kansas City. While many GHS graduates were looking elsewhere to start their careers, Dr. Hamilton was drawn back to Greenwood. He practiced dentistry in Greenwood and at St. Edwards Mercy Hospital from 1978-1989 until he was forced to quit due to a congenital neck condition. But this did not slow him down in his desire to use his education and skills in the medical community.
At the age of 40, he was hired at Westark Community College to start and direct a Medical Laboratory Technician program. He started a legacy of success with a 100% pass rate as he raised the program to national recognition. He became a site visitor for the accrediting association (NAACLS) and was instrumental in the review for accreditation for other nationwide programs. Dr. Hamilton was a tenured faculty member who was nominated for an excellence in teaching award before leaving Westark in 1997. After leaving the Westark faculty, he was elected to the Board of Trustees for Westark Community College and served four years. He was on the board as vice president during the transition from Westark Community College to University of Arkansas/Fort Smith..
He joined the staff of the Arkansas Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) in 1997 and served until 2012 when he retired as the State Director. During this time he visited coaches and student-athletes across Arkansas to encourage them to “make a difference” in their local schools and communities. As state director, he also organized summer sport camps, One Way to Play-Drug Free programs in secondary schools, and the First Serve Tennis Program in Sebastian and Crawford Counties. Although he has retired from FCA, his legacy as a leader is still felt throughout the state, and the programs he organized still continue to thrive.
While being very involved with Westark Community College, he championed other causes within the community. He has served on the Sebastian County Library Board for over 30 years, endeavoring to maintain and increase library services in South Sebastian County. He has been the recipient of an American Cancer Association award as well as the recipient of a Community Leadership Award in the area of religion from Leadership Fort Smith in 2009.
For the last 20 years, Hamilton has served as a volunteer coach for the GHS Boys and Girls Tennis Teams. Under his tenure, GHS Tennis has achieved statewide recognition and respect, winning 15 conference championships, three state titles, and three overall championships. He has been named Conference Coach of the Year 15 times. A member of the 1966 state championship GHS baseball team, he is the only GHS graduate to play for a state championship team as well as be the head coach for GHS state championship teams.
Ken and his wife Ann have three children, Audrey, Kasey, and Jessica. Although he is considered “retired”, his grandchildren, his family and his biblical studies continue to fill his days. Complete retirement from coaching the GHS tennis teams is still a future focus.
Through his mentorship and dedication to programs for young men and women, Dr. Kenneth Hamilton’s legacy will continue to grow through future generations who will continue to be affected by his impact. The Greenwood Education Foundation is honored to have Dr. Ken Hamilton as part of the 2020 Hall of Honor.

Flu Clinic Reminder for Westwood Students
Greenwood High School, Greenwood Freshmen Center, and Greenwood Jr High School will pivot to online instruction for Thursday, October 8th and Friday, October 9th. This decision was made, in collaboration with the Arkansas Department of Health and the Arkansas Department of Education, due to the large number of teachers in quarantine and a shortage of substitute teachers at this time.
COVID-19 positive cases in Sebastian County continue to increase, which in turn has started to filter into the school setting. The district will use this time to thoroughly clean the buildings, and allow time for staff quarantines to expire so we can return to campus with a full staff.
Greenwood PreK Center, Westwood Elementary, East Pointe Elementary, and East Hills Middle School will continue normal daily schedules.
