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!
Cardinal Families,
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.
