There IS a manhunt off of 32 highway. Central Dispatch says there is no need for a lockdown at school. We HAVE and WILL take precautions. I’ll notify you of any changes.

The first day back to school is Jan. 4th for students. All staff will be back Jan. 3rd for school safety training. We want all the staff to KNOW what to do to keep your child safe in case of the worst case happening. We hope all of you have had a great break and you are ready to come back to school on the 4th. I know I’m ready to get everyone back in school.

2017 Seniors coming back to impart wisdom to the 2018 Seniors.


Correction: Please call 654-2231, 654-2232 or 654-2233 for corrections to our automated notification. Apparently Santa’s elves are getting too tired right here before Christmas and posted a Bolivar prefix instead of Fair Play prefix. 😅

I hope this call finds you well and we want to wish everyone happy holidays! This is the final test call for bad weather. If you hear of someone who did not receive this call, please have them call the school at 417-326-2232. GO HORNETS!
