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® (peanut butter replacement) and jelly sandwich.
