White Hall schools set Aug. 12 reopening, offer free breakfast to eligible students

White Hall School District will begin its 2026-27 school year on Aug. 12, 2026, giving families a confirmed date to plan for the return to school. The district also says eligible students attending Arkansas public schools, including White Hall students, can receive one free breakfast at no cost.

The breakfast policy applies to students across the White Hall district, which includes campuses such as Gandy Elementary School and White Hall High School. The district’s announcement describes the benefit as one free breakfast per eligible student.

What families know now

The no-cost breakfast eligibility began with the 2025-26 school year, according to the White Hall School District’s news page. The district’s current reopening information means families can account for the benefit as they prepare for the 2026-27 school year, although the notice does not say whether the policy is permanent or limited to a specific school year.

The district has not provided daily breakfast serving times in the notice. It also does not explain whether students must complete an enrollment eligibility screening before receiving breakfast. Families may need to check directly with the district for those details.

White Hall School District identifies its office at 1020 W. Holland Ave., White Hall, AR 71602. The district’s official news page states that White Hall schools resume Aug. 12, while a July live-feed update also says summer break ends and students return that day.

Other district updates

The district’s official live feed separately highlighted Lashona Crater of Gandy Elementary as the 2026 Elementary School Counselor of the Year, an honor recognized by the Arkansas School Counselor Association.

The district news page also identifies recognition of its 2025 Teachers of the Year. Those recognitions are separate from the reopening date and breakfast availability, but they are part of the district’s current public updates as families prepare for the new school year.

For parents and students, the immediate planning points are the Aug. 12 start date and the availability of one free breakfast for each eligible public-school student. The district’s published notice does not provide a later deadline or additional operational schedule for the breakfast service.
