Good afternoon, On October 6th, 2023, the Niangua ELEM School rolled out the House System as a strategy to engage students. We have heard various comments about the the new House System, but we want to make sure we have not missed any feedback. To measure the success of the House System, we will be utilizing academic data collected from IXL and NWEA assessments, discipline data from office referrals, and social/emotional data collected from student surveys conducted each semester. Our intention is to review this program in January in conjunction with IXL and NWEA assessments. We will review again at the end of the school year. Your input is vital as we determine our next steps. We hope this will provide some clarity and direction as we look into the next steps for this program. The links below will provide more information regarding the House program. Please take 10 minutes to fill out this form and let us hear your feedback about the program in general. All responses will remain anonymous and will be utilized for the sole purpose of constant evaluation of our programs. https://forms.gle/oWQDDb6AtkRPgZ8A6 Thank you! Dr. Baker

Just got these in. In case you didn't know, Colton finished 18th in the State Middle School Cross Country Championships. Congrats Colton on a great season.

State Cross Country results. Great season David and all runners this year. Everyone improved their time from the previous year and from the beginning of the season. Thanks for all of your hardwork.

We would love to see you next Friday at our Veterans Day program. Thank you to all those who have served.

Due to a propane truck turning over on Highway M and leaking propane, I have made this decision to dismiss all students following lunch. State Highway Patrol has already evacuated homes around the spill and has recommended we do the same per hazmat recommendations. Bus drivers have been notified and will be here to run normal routes. We will be dismissing at 12:41PM. There will be no afternoon activities or athletic practices today, 10/31/23. The decision to dismiss early is never an easy one. The safety of our students and staff will always be our priority and the basis for this decision. Thank you.

Due to the cold, the costume parade will be in the old gym! We will livestream on FB. Tune in and take a peek!
