STATE RELEASES APRs FOR DISTRICTS AND SCHOOLS
The Department of Elementary and Secondary
Education has released the annual performance reports (APRs) for Missouri
schools based on the state’s
accountability system. The fifth
version of the Missouri School Improvement
Program (MSIP 5) was approved by the State Board of Education in
2011. The annual performance reports
show how well each public school and school district is meeting the state’s
education standards. The reports are
used to review and accredit Missouri’s school districts.
Under MSIP 5, every school district in the state
is awarded points based on its performance in five areas: academic achievement, subgroup achievement,
college and career or high school readiness, attendance rate, and graduation
rate. Once again our students, faculty,
and staff have risen to the occasion and scored 131 points out of 140 points possible. This accountability standard shows that not
only have we proven our school is one of the top in Northeast Missouri, but
statewide as well! Way to Go!
BREAKFAST/LUNCH MENU
Breakfast each day
includes milk and juice. Students may
also choose cereal instead of the breakfast item offered. The following items are offered daily for
students to choose from in lieu of the main entrée: yogurt or a WOWBUTTER®
