Still Important...

Boys & Girls Club Status: We have taken calls asking about the opening date for the Boys & Girls Club opening in Crane. We are anxiously waiting and told as soon as they hire enough Youth Development Professionals for the Crane location, they plan on opening! If you or someone you know is interested in working for BGC, please apply at the website found here. Starting pay is $13 per hour. If you have questions about what the job entails, please contact Patrick Stewart at pstewart@bgcozarks.org .

Absences: If your child is going to be absent from school, regardless of reason, we need you to call the Elementary office to let us know. If you call before anyone is at school, please leave a voicemail letting us know your child's name and reason for absence. The office phone number is 417-723-5300 ext. 1301.

Honor Choir Practice: Honor Choir will have practice on Tuesday morning. Students should arrive at 7:25 AM and report to the music room.

Transportation Changes: We understand plans can change throughout the day. If transportation plans change for your child, please call the office to let Whitney know so she can ensure your child gets the message. Some parents have been messaging teachers on Dojo and there are days teachers do not see messages until after students have left for the day. We would hate to miss an important message!
