Safety Update - MIS and MMS had a building lockdown as the Monett Police Department were conducting an operation close to the campus. The operation ended quickly without incident. Our students and staff responded appropriately and were safe during the short lockdown. We want to thank our Monett Police Department for partnering with the district and maintaining school safety during their operations.
Just a reminder that MMS after school programs and athletic practices have been canceled today (November 3, 2020). Students will need to either ride the bus home, be a car rider, or walk home. Thanks for your understanding!
Mid-Semester Progress Reports will go home with students on Monday, November 2, 2020. If you do not receive one on Monday, please contact the school at 417-235-6228.
