Parents, we apologize, but we are down a driver for the foreseeable future. We have a few people going through the training process, which takes several months, so we do not have a driver who can cover the route east of Interstate 49 which includes the route after school tonight. We will continue to work on a solution, but until we secure a driver, parents east of 49 will need to arrange transportation for their children to and from school until further notice. This will also affect Early Childhood. We have someone covering Early Childhood AM preschool, and PM preschool can be picked up, and PM preschool kids west of I49 can be dropped off, but PM preschool east of 49 will not be able to be taken home. Again, we are sorry for the inconvenience, but we do not have any solutions at this time. If anyone has a bus endorsement, or would like help earning their CDL and bus endorsement, please contact central office.
Kindergarten & Early Childhood Screenings for the 2025-2026 school year will be March 3rd & March 10th. Please contact the Elementary Office to make an appointment. (417)395-2227
*Students must turn 5 years old by August 1st to be eligible for kindergarten.
*Early childhood screenings are for students 3 to 5 years old.
We look forward to meeting you and your child.
