Mammoth Spring School District will be conducting student vision and hearing screenings between Thanksgiving and Christmas break.
As part of this process, we are asking parents of students who are eligible for Medicaid to provide their child's Medicaid information, along with the required parental consent, which is being sent home this month with kindergarten, first, second, fourth, sixth, and eighth grades.
We want to reassure families that providing this information will NOT take away, reduce, or affect your child's Medicaid benefits in any way. It will not use up your child's benefits or prevent your family from receiving Medicaid services.
With parental permission, the district can seek federal Medicaid reimbursement for the cost of hearing screenings provided at the school. This helps our district recover some of the costs associated with providing these services to students.
If you have questions, please contact our school nurse, Mrs. Paula VanSlyke, at 870-625-7212.

The Mammoth Spring School Board will meet on Monday, Oct. 19, 2026, at 5:30 p.m. in the Board Room.
The Mammoth Spring School District is saddened to share the passing of our speech-language pathologist, Tammie Harper, on Friday, October 16.
Tammie was a valued member of our Bear family who cared deeply about the students she worked with. Through her kindness, patience, and dedication, she made a lasting difference in the lives of so many children. She will be greatly missed by her students, coworkers, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing her.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to Tammie’s husband, family, friends, and all who are grieving her loss.
In keeping with Tammie’s wishes, there will be no formal memorial service or celebration of life. Arrangements are being handled by Carter Funeral Home in West Plains, Missouri.
Tammie also requested that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to an animal shelter in her memory, honoring her love for animals.
Once a Bear, Always a Bear. 💙🐻
Rest peacefully, Tammie. You will always be a part of our Bear family.
