ADAIR COUNTY R-II NEWSLETTER

FEBRUARY 1, 2014                                                        Brashear, Missouri


SCHOOL BOARD RECOGNITION WEEK

 

Missourians benefit every day from the dedicated energies and countless hours devoted by a group of more than 3,600 men and women in every community across the state.  These public servants are elected by local constituents and do not receive compensation for their tireless efforts.  These men and women are the local school board members of Missouri.

 

During the week of January 27-31, communities across the state honored the dedicated service of local boards of education during School Board Recognition Week, as proclaimed by Governor Jay Nixon.  The goal is to build awareness and understanding of the important function an elected board of education plays in communities and schools.  All Missouri citizens are asked to recognize the important contributions of these men and women and focus attention on the vital role school boards play in the education of Missouri's children.

 

The students and staff of the Adair County R-II School District extend sincere appreciation for the dedication of those who serve on the district’s Board of Education.

TIGER PRIDE

 

Congratulations to the following Brashear band students who auditioned at the NEMO Junior High Honor Band.  Chair auditions took place on Saturday, January 18th.

 

Leah Grissom—2nd Chair Bass Clarinet

Megan McHenry—5th Chair Clarinet

Eliza Magruder—23rd Chair Clarinet

Hannah Reeves—5th Chair Tuba

Morgan Magruder—6th Chair Horn

Wyatt Potter—8th Chair Alto Saxophone

 

These musicians will represent Brashear at the Honor Band Performance on Saturday, February 15th.  The performance will be held at Macon High School beginning at 5:00 p.m.

 

IMPLEMENTING TWO HOUR DELAY

 

We will use a 2 hour delayed start for schools if the conditions warrant.   Here is how it will work.  We will have a straight 2 hour delay at the start of school.  On these days, school will start at 10:15 a.m. for 7-12 students and 10:20 a.m. for K-6 students.  There will be NO BREAKFAST served.  Once the students arrive at school, the day will run as normal and dismiss at our regular times.

 

Buses will run exactly 2 hours after their normal time.  So, if your child normally gets on the bus at 7:15 a.m., they will get on at 9:15 a.m. on delayed start days.

 

PAT PROGRAM

 

The Parents as Teachers program is a development-centered program offered by our school district for parents and their children ages prenatal to 5 years of age, Pre-K level.  This is a state and federally funded program, free of charge, to families wanting to learn more about their children’s early development.

 

Parents as Teachers focuses on three areas of emphasis:  parent/child interaction, development-centered parenting, and family well-being.  Each area of emphasis is designed to help the parent become more knowledgeable about their child’s growth and development through interacting more with their children and to give each family a sense of well-being by providing them with helpful resources.  The program offers home visits by a parent educator who will provide age appropriate curriculum and activities and useful resources for the parents and their children.

 

To learn more about the program, please contact Chelsea Coe, Parent Educator, at (660) 323-5272 ext. 33 or email her at chelsea_coe@brashear.k12.mo.us
