Missouri
There
will be two open seats for the Board of Education election on April 3, 2018.

Per RSMo

1.
Personalized yearbooks are
available for an additional $5. Please make your check payable to Adair County

We are reminding parents and

and/or “no school” bulletins. This information will be given to KTVO
television, KHQA television, KIRX radio, KTUF radio, KRXL radio, KLTE radio,
KRES radio of Moberly, KMEM radio of Memphis, and KZBK radio of Brookfield.
These stations will present dismissal information as soon as decisions have
been made. Please
do not call the school.
The Computer Class has been
creating DVDs of the Fall 2017 activities. They have completed videos for
Softball, Baseball (fall season), Junior High Girls Basketball, and Junior High
Boys Basketball.
The highlight videos will be
available in time for Christmas. They also have a variety of DVDs available
from previous years. The cost is $2 per title. If you are interested, please
call the school at 323-5272.
The Department of Elementary and
Secondary Education recently released the Annual Performance Reports (APR). The
reports are used to show how well school districts are meeting Missouri’s
education standards under the state’s accountability system, the Missouri
School Improvement Program (MSIP) 5. MSIP 5 is used to distinguish the
performance of schools and districts in valid, accurate and meaningful ways so
that districts in need of improvement can receive appropriate supports and
interventions. The APR outlines performance based on five standards for K-12
districts: academic achievement, subgroup achievement (includes students
receiving free/reduced price lunch, African American and Hispanic students,
English Language Learners, and students with disabilities), College and Career
Readiness, attendance rate, and graduation rate. As a whole our district scored
89.9%, receiving 124 out of 138 points possible. Districts must score at least
70% to place them in the fully accredited range. Congratulations to our
students, faculty, and staff!
Trinity Church Women for their
donation to serve the needs of our students.
