In November, UAM announced that the first day of spring classes had been postponed and would begin on January 13, a week later than originally scheduled. This was also announced in conjunction with the decision to eliminate the week-long spring break for 2021 out of concern for travel-related exposure to COVID-19 mid-semester. The number of instructional days will remain the same.

Update – There will not be a 7th grade boys game at McGehee, Tuesday. Start at 5 with Jr Girls.
