Cardinal Families,
Our side roads still have multiple areas that are potentially dangerous for our buses as well as all other drivers. We will not have school tomorrow, Friday January 30th. This will be AMI Day #1
Thank you and stay safe!
We still have many of our routes impacted by snow and ice. Due to those conditions, Niangua R-V Schools will be closed tomorrow, Thursday 1/29. This will be a snow day and not an AMI day. However, any days missed going forward will be AMI or will need to be made up.
Thank you and stay safe!

Volleyball season is right around the corner! Make sure your physical is up to date and follow the Cardinals Athletic and Cardinals Volleyball Facebook pages so you don’t miss any important information.


As we begin the second half of the school year, the Niangua Athletic Department would like to take a moment to remind our school community of the importance of sportsmanship.
MSHSAA emphasizes sportsmanship as a core value, and this goal is shared by the Niangua R-5 School District. The conduct of our players, coaches, parents, and spectators reflects directly on our school and on the athletic program we are working hard to rebuild.
We ask that all fans provide positive encouragement rather than criticism toward players, coaches, officials, and spectators from both schools at every contest. Your support plays a vital role in creating a respectful and enjoyable environment for everyone involved.
Thank you for representing Niangua with pride, class, and integrity.

District Offices will be open on the 23rd and 30th of December from 8am - 4pm.
