Due to power outages throughout NWA, Tuesday, Feb. 16th’s virtual instruction for AAA HS students will be delivered asynchronously. (No bell schedule. No required GoogleMeets. Complete posted assignments by the stated due date.)
With plunging temperatures, uncertain snow totals and unpredictable travel scenarios, the Arkansas Arts Academy will pivot to virtual instruction for 2/16/21. Please watch for any updates regarding 2/17/21. Conserve power, travel with caution, stay indoors, be safe, stay warm.
School Administrative and District Offices will be closed Monday, February 15, 2021 due to weather conditions and those staff will be working remotely.
Please make sure to check the website and social media later today for updates regarding the coming week.
Stay safe and warm.
UPDATE ANNOUNCEMENT:
Joshua Depner is no longer employed at the Arkansas Arts Academy. By a voice vote on February 9, 2021, the AAA Board of Directors upheld his termination for violation of district policy.
Our transition plan is for a substitute teacher with school approved coursework who will provide instructional coverage until a suitable new educator can be found. All virtual and in-person teaching and learning will continue.
Change is never easy, and as we move forward, please know that student learning is our purpose and goal. If you have any questions, contact the Arkansas Arts Academy CEO, Richard Burrows at rburrows@artsk12.org.
Due to concerns about the road conditions, Arkansas Arts Academy Schools and Administration will be closed Thursday, February 11, 2021, and we will have a virtual learning day. Please check your email on Monday evening for updates on next week. Please stay safe and warm.
Due to inclement weather, the Arkansas Arts Academy Schools will have remote teaching and learning on February 10, 2021. Stay safe and stay warm!

Dear AAA community,
We are opening our SWAP closet to families before the break. Parents are welcome to come and "shop" the closet or trade in clothes that no longer fit their students. Our closet is overflowing and we have a lot of brand new clothing that was donated!
If you would like to participate, please make an appointment with Kendra McGaugh (kmcgaugh@artsk12.org). Please note, only one person may come to the closet at a time!
Happy Holidays!
