ACT
A reminder for the juniors who let us know that they wanted to take the makeup district ACT, you need to be at the multipurpose gym on June 2, at 7:45. You should be done by noon. Be sure to bring a picture ID. We will be observing social distancing. If you want to wear a mask, bring your own—these will not be
provided.
Summer school will start this Monday, June 1. The times will be 8:15 to 3:15. This year summer school will only be for junior high and high school credit recovery. You or your student has been contacted either by phone or by letter if eligible to attend. Due to low enrollment numbers there will be no driver’s education class or elementary classes offered.
When arriving in the morning, students will go directly to their classrooms (Ms. Mercer’s or Miss Rea’s). There will be no transportation nor breakfast served. Lunch and a snack will be provided. Social distancing rules will be observed. If a student wants to wear a mask, they should bring their own.

We will have summer school starting June 1 at 8:00 am through June 24th ONLY for JH students who need to come to be promoted to the next grade level and for HS students who have lost credits. We will also offer drivers education IF enough students enroll. We did NOT have enough students apply to offer summer school at the elementary level. Breakfast will NOT be provided.

Under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act of 2020, families that qualify for free or reduced price meals at school may be eligible for a new one-time Pandemic Electronic Benefits Transfer (P-EBT) of up to $302 per child (Pre-Kindergarten – Grade 12) to help cover the cost of meals students have eaten at home on days that schools have been closed. Students can receive P-EBT benefits even if they have been or continue to receive meals provided by the school district during the school closure. If your child was not previously eligible for free or reduced price meals, but you have now lost income, you may be eligible to receive P-EBT benefits (review the P-EBT Eligibility Criteria document below).
The benefit is placed on an Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card families use to buy food. If you received Food Stamp (SNAP) benefits in March, do not apply for these new/additional benefits. The full $302 will automatically be loaded to your existing EBT card. If you did not receive Food Stamp (SNAP) benefits in March, you must apply for this benefit by June 30, 2020 (see below).
The most efficient way to apply is to submit your application online at EmergencyMealSurvey.com/MO. You will also likely experience a faster approval process. If you’re not able to apply online, you can follow the link below to the paper application. The fillable PDF document can then be emailed or mailed to the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE).
Apologies for the short notice, but we wanted to share the exciting news with you as soon as it was official. Please help us welcome Coach Darin Archer as the new Varsity Boys Basketball Head Coach. Coach Archer brings a tremendous amount of experience and expertise to us and to benefit your boys. He and Coach Durst would like to schedule a short meeting Thursday, May 14 at 6 pm in the school cafeteria. We thought having the meeting before the scheduled baseball meeting would save many boys a second trip. All incoming grade 9 through 12 boys are welcome to attend and meet our new coach and get details about summer workouts and shootouts. Welcome Coach Archer!!
There will be a high school baseball meeting on Thursday, May 14 at 6:30 pm in the school cafeteria. We will discuss the summer practice and game schedules and provide other pertinent information. All high school boys from incoming 9th grade through 12 grade are welcome to attend.
This message is for high school girls interested in softball. If you are entering 9th Grade through 12th Grade next year and are interested in playing softball this summer, there will be a short informational meeting Thursday, May 14th at 10 am in the school cafeteria. The meeting should last approximately 30 minutes. For more information contact Miss Mercer.
