Four area schools are kicking off the 2026-27 academic year today. Students in the Izard County STEM School, Salem School District, Cave City School District, and Calico Rock School District returned to classrooms as the school year officially gets underway.
School buses are operating on their regular routes, and both breakfast and lunch will be served as usual. Families in these districts are encouraged to review bus routes and meal schedules provided by their respective schools to ensure a smooth start to the year.
This marks a return to routine for students, teachers, and staff across the region. Additional information about specific school activities and schedules can be obtained directly from each district's administration office or website.
