Lion's Link #lionpride

We have several teachers who tutor throughout the year, so if your student needs help, we're here for them! Here is the high school after-school tutoring schedule. Mr. Varner, high school math, is available every morning beginning at 6:30 a.m. and can be here after school until 4:00--have your student let him know they're coming in.

Parents of any 4th or 5th grade girl interested in playing league basketball this year need to text Michael Mades at (573) 480-8900. He will need a name, birthdate, and grade. The deadline to let him know is Friday, 9/13.

Along with the Lady Lions Hit-A-Thon for the Cancer Awareness Pink Out game at home on September 30, you may also purchase a T-shirt to help support the fundraiser. All proceeds will go to our local Cookie Angels. Order forms are being sent home with students at school today. If you would like, you can click on this link and you can order it online through a Google form sheet. Forms and money should be sent to the school office. If you have any questions, please contact Alicia Burrows. Thank you for supporting the Lady Lions softball team and the Cookie Angels!

Dear Tuscumbia School Community,

Three weeks of school have come and gone and students are doing great settling into the routine of school. I have been so impressed with the lessons that teachers are providing students! I love walking into classrooms and watching students be genuinely excited about what they are learning. This past week I’ve seen students working on researching information and evidence to support responses, rounding with three-digit numbers, reading books, taking quizzes, and proving to teachers what they have learned in a very unique and engaging way. The energy and passion that staff members are bringing to the classroom is outstanding, and I know students can feel it!

If your student is dropped off at school in the morning (not a bus rider), please make sure you are not parking in the drop off lane as this backs up traffic. If you walk your student to the front door please park in a parking space and not the drop off lane.

Here are some upcoming events in September that you might want to put on your calendar:

• NO SCHOOL on Monday, September 9 – Staff Professional Development Day

• Friday, September 13 – Fall Picture Day

• Saturday, September 14 – Truck and Tractor Pull

• Wednesday, September 18 – Board Meeting

• Friday, September 20 – Senior BBQ

• Saturday, September 21 – Pig ‘N Pickle

As always, if you have any questions or concerns please don’t hesitate to reach out. Have a wonderful weekend!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Kirtley

Principal

If you are interested in becoming a substitute teacher and you do not have the required 36 college hours, you can do an online course that will allow you to get a substitute certificate. Here is the link to that course, and here is the link to the DESE web page that gives you more information about what you need to do to get a substitute certification. Our daily rate for subs for the 2024-25 school year will be $100/day!

The mission of the Miller County R-III School District, in partnership with our students, parents, staff, and community, is to promote PRIDE and provide a quality education that inspires our students to be lifelong learners.

The Miller County R-III School District has the following openings available:

• Substitute Teachers, as needed, $100/day beginning 2024-25, must have substitute certificate and pass a background check.
• Substitute Bus Drivers, as needed, $31.60 per route (a.m. or p.m.) and $15/hour for trip drivers, including wait time. If you do not have a CDL, we have an on-site trainer who will train you if you commit to substituting for our district.
• Coaching: Assistant Track, Spring

Interested parties should contact Dr. Spencer at tspencer@tuscumbialions.k12.mo.us, or come by central office during working hours for an application.

It's always a great day to be a Lion! Come join our Pride!
