Lion's Link #lionpride

Miller County R-III Schools now have a Kindness eWall through YouUpLift.com and Columbia College! This is a digital wall where students, staff, and parents can submit positive, kind messages to others and those messages will appear on the digital wall on a loop. Messages can include pictures, memes, and GIFs. Submitted messages are reviewed by the school before appearing on the digital wall. The Kindness eWall can be viewed by clicking here and to submit a message, you would scroll down the screen to the message box below. We are currently working on linking the eWall to the school website and to run on the TV in the cafeteria so students and staff can see positive messages throughout the day. If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Hopkins.

Recently, schools across the nation have experienced threats on social media. Our district has not received any threats to date. However, we do ask that parents help us monitor this by checking your students' social media accounts, talking to them about the responsible use of social media, and encouraging them, "If you see something, say something." If we are made aware of any threats, we do have a safety plan in place, and we will work with law enforcement to address this, as well as immediately informing parents and our community.

We appreciate your help and support as we make every attempt to keep our students safe.

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.

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!

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!
