Junior Student Council has been busy over the past couple of weeks!! They painted kindness rocks for beside the sidewalk to the playground, picked up trash along our walking track, and found some time to play a prank for April Fool's Day ("School for Sale" Sign). Proud of these kids and their sponsors!!
The time has come for our Bluejays to show up and show out with state testing for the 2024-2025 school year!! We are excited for our students to show how much they have improved this year. Grades 9-11 will be taking End of Course exams April 14-17 and grades 3-8 will be taking the Missouri Assessment Program tests April 21-25. Below are a few helpful things for our students to be relaxed and confident each day:
*Get a good night's sleep
*Eat a healthy breakfast with plenty of protein
*Be on time each day
We will be giving out daily prizes for those present on test day. Thank you and have a great weekend!!

We wanted to take a moment to inform all parents and guardians that we will be monitoring the weather continuously today to ensure the safety of all students and staff. In the event a severe storm hits at the time of dismissal we will be holding the buses until the storm clears and we can safely take students home.
Federal law requires our district to consult with parents on the design and implementation of programs. Oregon-Howell R-3 School will soon begin developing its Title I program for the 2025-2026 school year and we are asking you to help by filling out this questionnaire. Thank you for your time and commitment to your child's education!!
