Today we celebrate our amazing custodial team for National School Custodial Worker Day! Thank you to Mrs. Shawn and Mrs. Wanda for your hard work, dedication, and the care you put into keeping Izard County STEM School clean, safe, and welcoming. We appreciate you! Thanks also to our maintenance guys who often help with all of these important tasks!

Thank you to all of our principals! Your dedication and leadership at Izard County STEM School does not go unnoticed; we appreciate you!

Congratulations to Spencer Densford and Gavin Williams! They both earned their Microsoft Office PowerPoint Certification in Introduction to Business class today. Great job!

Reminder! Retake yearbook picture day will be Wednesday, October 1st. This is also when Pinkston Photography will take photos for students who were absent the 1st picture day, or are new to our school.

Notice to parents/guardians: All students on the middle/high school campus are safe and back in class after a brief evacuation this afternoon. Fortunately, there was not a fire, but the fan motor in an a/c unit caused smoke to set off the fire alarms. All safety precautions were immediately taken, and the students did a great job calmly exiting the buildings.

Izard County STEM School will once again host a Veterans Day Ceremony on November 11. There will be a slideshow presentation featuring loved ones of our staff and students, as well as Veterans local to the area. Please add information to the Google Form linked below - there is also an option to request that we reuse the information submitted last year. Thank you for helping with this project!
