Kindergarten students showing kindness by helping clean up around school.
The booster club is privileged to have a close relationship with our school and able to give back. Our booster club is ran by local volunteers and together we have built some successful elementary programs. The school works with us to provide a safe environment for our youth athletes to gain skill and knowledge in the sports they will one day play at Puxico Schools. This year we were able to provide a donation to the basketball team for providing workers at our annual volleyball tournament, purchase some youth basketball goals to be utilized with pe and basketball camps, and we also purchased a new volleyball net system for the cafeteria allowing more practice areas for booster and the school.

PHS Students & Families
It is that time of the year again when we will be conducting our Spring 2023 EOC tests, from Monday, April 17 - Friday, April 28, 2023. Please read and review both the documents attached to this email.
During this testing time, some students will be away on the FBLA and/or the FFA Convention field trips. If you have one of these students, please know they will still be testing, but will have to make up their test on the Make-Up day of Friday, April 28, 2023.
Juniors who will be eligible to help decorate for Prom on April 28, will have to make up all EOC tests prior to being able to decorate.
Please keep in mind the importance of every test; however, remember the Algebra I EOC plays a big role in graduating with A+ eligibility.
Please make sure your student(s) get plenty of sleep during this time, and make sure they eat breakfast!!!
Happy Testing!!!! And best of luck!!
This years Three Rivers Registration ROCS was a success!!! These five (5) students are ready for the fall 2023 semester and will be learning new things in their desired field of study. Two Nurses, one Physical Therapist, one Teacher and one Electrical Technician. You make Puxico proud!!
