We will be celebrating Grandparents' Day on September 8th starting at 2PM. Please try to arrive as close on 2PM as possible, as students will be in regularly scheduled classes up until that time. We plan to have refreshments and Grandparents will be given an opportunity to take their Grandchildren up to the Book Fair. Grandparents will be allowed to sign out their Grandchildren for the remainder of the day provided they have parental consent. Each Homeroom teacher will have a sign out sheet. We look forward to having you on campus!
The Book Fair will begin next week on Tuesday, September 5! Students will be coming with their class throughout the week, but we will also be open to the community after school hours. Come see us on Thursday after school until 7pm or on Saturday from 10am-2pm. We take cash, check, credit/debit cards!!

Students, please bring back the Free & Reduced meal forms. One per family is all that is needed. We will have a drawing for gift cards for elementary, middle and high school. There will be $50 and $25 gift cards available for each age range. This impacts our school very much! In recent years, few forms were turned in. This resulted in our Free and Reduced lunch count going down to 51%. (Our normal is about 80%). Our Free and Reduced percentage is used in our state formula, all federal money and most recently our ESSER money. For the past few years, our Title I money has been steadily going down as our Free and Reduced count declined. Title I pays for tutoring, part of preschool, as well as some parent nights and even materials and supplies. Additionally, we did not get nearly as much ESSER money as other area schools because our Free and Reduced count was so low. Please fill out the forms and return them! All forms that are in by Friday will have the students entered for a drawing for gift cards! Thank you!
Congratulations to our winners for the vaccine drawing! All students who were fully immunized by today (the first day of school) were entered into a drawing! Congratulations to Jackson Mathis, Gracie Harding and Johnny Everett!
Tuesday, August 22 is the first day of school! We look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow! Be safe! Watch for students and school bus stops!

Due to bus driver vacancy, we have had to absorb one of our routes. Drivers are contacting affected students. Please be early to your stops. The maximum impact to any route is 15 minutes. We ask for your patience as we work to safely and efficiently transport your children.
Don't forget to have ALL required immunizations before you can come to school this year!! We are partnering with Ozark County Health Department to ensure kids who have all required immunizations will be entered into a drawing for an Amazon gift card!!
