ATTENTION JUNIORS AND SENIORS: There is a scam that is targeting Jr and Sr students. The scammer sends students emails that look like they’re coming from the SEA (such as ADE) or USDOE in which the scammer instructs students to set up a profile so that the SEA and/or USDOE can search for available scholarships.  Because students apparently often use the same password for everything they do, the scammers are looking for passwords.

The Piggott School Board has approved the Prom/Homecoming Dress Code.  This will be available on the website and copies will be given to all Junior and Senior girls and boys.  Any dates to the prom will also be expected to adhere to this code as well.

Football Players who are Seniors only (12th Grade) may park by the Old Gym. Every one else was assigned a parking spot when you bought your parking permit tag. You will have to move your vehicle if you are not a 12th grade Football player.
