A Message from Mr. Hamlett As many of you may know by now, Governor Parson has issued an order for all Missouri schools to remain closed for the remainder of the school year. While we make this announcement with a heavy heart, we do support Governor Parson and his decision. The safety and well being of our students and staff is our number 1 priority and this decision was made with that in mind. With this decision comes many questions regarding how the next few months will look. We ask you that you remain patient with us as we navigate our way through these uncharted waters. Here is what we do know: Virtual learning will continue for our students, buildings will remain closed, and our meal pickup will continue. As we work our way through this, we will communicate with you. Please look for updates on social media as well as emails from teachers and administration. Thank you and have a good evening.
