Electronic Device Policy Reminder

In accordance with Missouri Senate Bill 68 (SB68) and district policy, students may not possess or use personal electronic devices during the school day.

This includes Meta Glasses and similar wearable technology, which are considered the same as cell phones, smartwatches, AirPods, and other personal electronic devices. These items are not allowed in school buildings and must be left at home or in vehicles.

Violations will result in discipline consistent with the school’s electronic device policy.

Thank you all for your understanding!

Mrs. Smothers’ 6th grade Social Studies Classes worked at stations, and in groups, while reviewing for their upcoming final. In the stations the students had to put the United States back together, after they were dismantled by “The Wet Bandits,” the Scrooge mixed up all of the states and capitals, and the kids had to rhyme like Dr. Suess’ making a story using the names of states and capitals.

We are so proud of Ms. Parsley’s 4th grade reading class and their reading stamina! 📚✨
At the beginning of the quarter, we set a goal of reading for 15 uninterrupted minutes. We started with just 30 seconds, worked our way up to 3–5 minutes, and even had several close calls where we stopped around 12–14 minutes. Each time, this group was determined to improve!
Today, they knocked it out of the park by surpassing their goal and reading for 22 uninterrupted minutes! 🎉 The students love the challenge and have shared that they feel more focused and engaged in their books. Watching their reading confidence grow has been such a rewarding part of our day! 💙📖

Each student’s necklace tells a story 📖✨
Every bead represents a book read, and today Mrs. Simmers’ second graders created their very own reading necklaces to celebrate their hard work and growth as readers. Watching their pride as they added each bead was so special!
This small incentive has already sparked big motivation, and I can’t wait to see how many books they read during the second half of the school year. So proud of these readers! 📚💙
