High School Students--Classes Start at 8:00 this morning! Get on zoom and be ready to learn!!
All Middle School and High School basketball, and softball games are cancelled for the week of Oct. 12-16.
Beginning Wednesday, October 14th, the High School Only will be going to virtual learning through next Friday, October 23. All K-8 students will continue on campus for seated instruction. Buses will run normal routes. If you have a student in K-8 and have concerns about sending your child to seated instruction during this outbreak in our area, or someone in your home has a health issue, you may elect virtual as well. Simply call the office to notify us of this choice.
We will be moving to virtual learning for High School ONLY beginning tomorrow, Wednesday, October 14 for the rest of this week and next week. High students may return to seated instruction (unless quarantined by health department) on Tuesday, October 27. Buses will run normal routes for all Kindergarten through 8th grade students. This outbreak has affected MANY of our high school students and staff. We are thankful, to this point, our younger kids have not been as greatly impacted. However, if you are not comfortable sending your child to seated instruction, or if someone in your home has a compromised immune system or other health issue, you may take choose to participate in the online learning until you are comfortable sending them back. Just notify the office. Please stay healthy!!
We apologize for the inconvenience and late notice, but we will have to cancel preschool for 2 weeks. We simply do not have enough educators to cover all required classes. Preschool will resume on October 27. Stay healthy!
Students that are positive or quarantined: teachers will have all materials on google, and will be doing zoom meetings. If you do not have good internet and need flash drives please call the office in the morning.
Attention MS/HS Students
Make sure and charge your chromebooks tonight, and bring back chromebooks, chargers, and all books/materials Tuesday morning.
WE ARE--LION STRONG!!!
We have a large number of HIGH SCHOOL students who will be quarantined due to contact tracing. You will be contacted by the Howell or Ozark County Health Department. SEATED INSTRUCTION will continue for the vast majority of all other students who are not quarantined! We also have several staff members quarantined, but we are trying our best to continue with seated learning as long as we can cover classes.
The Food Truck is CANCELED for today. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience!!!
The food truck has not made it to Gainesville yet. We will most likely NOT be ready for public pick up until 11. I will keep you updated on this site!!!
The Food Boxes are available in Bakersfield, MISSOURI. If you are seeing this in Bakersfield, CALIFORNIA----you probably won't make it in time. (We have had a LOT of calls from Bakersfield, CA.)
Food Boxes will be available from 10 AM to noon Friday, October 9. Please enter from O Hwy behind the bus barn. You will exit down by the elementary where the parent pick up line is. (This exit is a slight change from the original plan.) We can not store left-overs. This will be first come, first served. If you have called, emailed or messaged us, we have your counts. If not, please let us know so we have enough! See you tomorrow. This is FREE for ANYONE! Dairy, meat/protein, fruit and vegetables!
The food delivery Friday will be in the back gravel parking lot. Please enter from O Hwy behind where the buses park and exit through the gate by the gym, also off O Hwy. Food boxes must be picked up between 10 and noon. We CAN NOT store the food!
We will have food boxes available for pick up for ANYONE this Friday. We expect to have the boxes (containing meat, dairy, vegetables and fruit) here between 10 and noon.
