FORT SMITH, Ark. The 2021-2022 school year will look a little different for Fort Smith Public Schools.
The junior highs will change to middle schools this August. Junior highs currently house seventh, eighth and ninth graders but once they switch to middle schools, they will house sixth, seventh and eighth graders and ninth graders will go to freshmen centers at the high schools.
“Everything I’ve read on it is all positive. A middle school curriculum versus a junior high curriculum I think is going to be better for my kids,” Kirby Cockrum, parent to a Fort Smith Schools student, said.

FORT SMITH, Ark. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to present unforeseen challenges to the Fort Smith area.
One of those ways is finding enough substitute teachers to cover teacher absences in Fort Smith Public Schools.
“Staffing classrooms that need substitutes is a challenge under normal circumstances. The pandemic complicates matters significantly,” said Zena Featherston Marshall, FSPS executive director of communication and community partnerships.
The district had to “pivot to online learning” Jan. 15 and Jan. 19 because they did not have enough substitutes to cover all the teacher absences.
