A huge thank you to Commerce Bank for donating frisbees! We were able to have a fun lunch at the elementary school today with frisbees that the kids got to take home. How fun! What a great day to be a Pinto!
We are getting so excited for a fantastic Fun Day today! To make room for our exciting main attractions, the North Parking Lot will be completely closed for parking. Our morning drop-off line will run exactly as normal, but please note that there will be no parking available for parents who usually park and walk their students across the crosswalk—all morning arrivals must use the drop-off line. Don't worry, this change will not affect afternoon pick-up at all, which will proceed just like any regular day. Thank you so much for your cooperation and flexibility as we clear the space for a memorable day for our students!
Communication with our community and guardians is very important to us! Be sure to check out our district communication guide, which includes information about our new app, communication platform, and ways to stay connected throughout the school year. Stay informed and never miss an update — it’s a great day to be a Pinto!
Third grade took over the Capitol today!
From touring the Missouri State Capitol and Supreme Court Building to talking with a judge, our students had an amazing day learning outside the classroom! A few groups even made it all the way up to the Whispering Gallery 👏
Special shoutout to Charley Medlin for leading the Pledge of Allegiance during the opening session today! We also loved catching up with State Representative Willard Haley for a group picture on the Capitol steps.
What a fun day of learning, exploring, and making memories! It’s a great day to be a Pinto! 💙🐴
