Bakersfield R-IV School District

The first day of school is almost here! Now is the time to download the Bakersfield R-IV School App! All important information will be shared via Facebook and the App. Also, please make sure the school has your current phone numbers and email addresses!!

School Pictures will be on Thursday, September 3. We will take:
📸Fall Pictures for the yearbook. VoTech students, please go to the FEMA building that morning as soon as you arrive at school to get your picture taken. Even if you are not purchasing pictures, we still need your photo for the yearbook! All other students will be called as a class to the FEMA building when the photographer is ready for them.

Here are a few photos to highlight some of our FFA members from the summer. Our members have been working diligently on their Supervised Agricultural Experience Projects. Our chapter officers also attended area training, a local workshop to plan for our 100th year of Ag Education at Bakersfield, and enjoyed a retreat at Silver Dollar City before heading out to look for local businesses willing to partner with us in advertising for the 6th Annual Ozark County FFA Bull Blast.

Due to previous low attendance, there will not be a Guild meeting this Friday.

Parents, we are doing away with our credit card machines. We have switched over to Paywat payment system which sits inside Lumen Touch. As parents, this gives you the ability to pay fees, lunch bills, or whatever is assigned directly in Lumens, and it automatically applies the payments.

Please watch the tutorial videos , available via the FB post or on the school website under the News section, to help you get started.
