Due to the forecasted winter weather throughout the area tomorrow, Niangua R-V Schools will be closed tomorrow, Tuesday Feb 18th. This will be a snow day and not an AMI day. Stay safe and warm tomorrow!
Cardinal Families;
The admin team is closely monitoring the reports regarding the potential incoming winter weather. Please know that our students’ safety is our priority and any decision made regarding school closure is done with that in mind. Any closure will be communicated as quickly as the decision is made in order to allow you to make alternate plans for your child.
Our calendar allows us to use 5.5 snow days and 4 AMI days prior to using scheduled make-up days. So far this year, we have used 4 snow days and 2 AMI days, so we can still miss 3.5 days and not have to use a make-up day. Make-up days are typically Mondays. Our first scheduled make-up day, if needed, is Monday, March 10th.
Our last day, May 23rd, is a half day (12:36 dismissal) and could be adjusted to a full day if needed.
Here is the most recent weather report from the NWS:

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to contact the office or send an email.
Thank you!
