The Niangua R-V School District is reviewing the option of a summer school session during the month of June, 2025. Transportation would be provided. We would offer two bus routes, which will be decided following interest or enrollment.
The hours would be similar to a regular school day. We would start June 2nd and end June 27th, Tuesday-Friday.
Students in grades K-8 would be offered enrichment classes with the potential of educational field trips.
Students in High School would be offered the chance of credit recovery.
This is an interest survey only. If enough families are interested in a summer school program, we will start the next steps of creating classes, transportation routes, and enrollment procedures.

Cardinal Families,
We will be working on re-routing our buses over Winter Break. We are trying to minimize the amount of time a student spends on our buses. Currently, one of our bus routes takes around one hour and 15 minutes to complete.
If you are a current bus rider, you can expect a call from your driver AFTER New Year's Day with the new pick up time.
Thank you for your understanding!
Beth Christensen, Niangua R-V Transportation Director

The Varsity boys will be playing the second round of the Walnut Grove tournament tonight, Dec 23rd at 7:30pm. This round will be played at Morrisville High School. The live stream link is: http://fan.hudl.com/mcepanthers
