Dear Parent/Guardian:
Your district is taking part in the Missouri School Climate and Culture Survey. Results from this survey will be used as part of the school improvement review during the 2022-2023 academic year. As part of this process, parents, students, and school employees are asked to voluntarily answer surveys regarding programs and services available to students.
Please take a few minutes to answer the survey at the link provided. Responses from all parents will be anonymously summarized and will become part of a report for the school district. The school district will use this report in the development of school improvement efforts.
If you have more than one child in school, you will receive more than one survey link. Please complete a survey for each individual child. Do not complete one survey for multiple children. The surveys will be processed so that school officials receive reports about each building in the district.
The questionnaires contain demographic and opinion questions. You have the option not to respond to any item or not to complete a survey at all.
Thank you for your help.

On April 21, 2023, Miami R-1 Middle School took two students; Virginia Loehr (7th Grade) and Kayden Smith (7th Grade)
to the MJAS state science fair competition in Joplin, MO.
Students had the opportunity to travel to Missouri Southern State University where they competed against sixteen other middle school students. Students had to digitally send their ten page research papers to judges prior to attending. Once they arrived on campus students had to present their presentations in front of three judges and their peers. Kayden Smith received an Excellent ribbon and certificate in the Engineering and Physics category. Virginia Loehr received a Superior ribbon and certificate in the Behavioral and Social Science category. Their science teacher, Mrs. Amber Southard, received the Outstanding Middle School Teacher Award.
Mrs. Southard stated, “It has been wonderful watching my students grow and develop a passion for science. These students worked very hard to complete their projects and present them at a level they could be proud of! I would like to again thank our community and school for the support they give to our science program at Miami Elementary School.”

House Program
|
By now, I’m sure you have noticed the food pantry boxes located at the school and community center parking lot. If you have not, please go take a look at them. These are the results of our students hard work and dedication to help members of our community.
In the 2019- 2020 school year, the teachers at Miami Middle School started an incentive program called the “House Program.” Students had the opportunity to learn about character qualities such as: empathy, resiliency, assertiveness, compassion, respect, trust, honesty, and integrity. Students worked together as a team to complete different activities and earn points for demonstrating the behaviors in the classroom. Their project for the compassion month was to develop a way to give back to the community. Students worked and researched the best way to demonstrate this character trait. Students came up with the plan for the little food pantries and that the community and members of the school could collect donations/ fundraise to keep these boxes filled. With the help of community member, Derrick Arnold, this plan came to life. Derrick donated his time and materials to build two little pantries for the Miami Students. The students had a great time painting the boxes and adding their own personal touches. Miami R-1 School will be collecting food donations periodically throughout the school year. We ask that you take what you need and give back in any way that you can. If you are interested in donating, donations can be dropped off at Miami School, we will have a tub right inside the front door for donations. |

It is with a very heavy heart that the Miami School Board and I announce that we will be putting a “pause” on our building project for now.
The financial uncertainty surrounding us right now with the Covid-19 outbreak and our struggling economy has caused us to step back
and wait for more positive and definitive information!
We will not give up our dream of having new classrooms and a gym that can house our students and parents,
instead we will wait and begin again when it is the right time.
The Board Members and I are available at any time to answer your questions about our “Project Pause”
and hope that you will support us again when the time is right!
