All smiles: Ready to be back in school





2nd Graders worked together to save Fred (a gummy worm) from drowning in the water. They had to get Fred in his life preserver (a gummy lifesaver) and back in his boat (a cup). Everybody was able to save Fred!

Day 3. Cardinals helping Cardinals.



Due to the excessive heat, Friday night's home varsity football game vs. Milan has been pushed back to a 7:30 kickoff time instead of 7. Thanks!!!

We have had to change multiple practice times for the next few days due to the heat and MSHSAA guidelines. Please check the teams remind apps for practice changes.

Friday's home Vasity Footbal Game vs. Milan will be livestreamed through MSHSAA TV free of charge. Are hope is to bring you all regular season home football games free this season through this channel.

As we approach the First Day of School at Shelby County R-IV, we want to give you an update on some of the ongoing work at the campus. The district has been working this summer to install concrete paving in front of the HS, behind the HS/MS, the east student parking lot and an area between the football field and new Elementary. JT Holman Construction are the General Contractors and have been doing an outstanding job on the project. Wet weather this spring and summer caused some delays, but we are pleased to be ready for the first day of school. We have a couple sections in the student’s parking lot to pour as well as installation of some curbing around the perimeter of the parking lots. Those areas along with some dirt work is all that remains. Please respect the traffic cones in the parking lot as construction finishes up over the next couple weeks. The attached map shows traffic patterns for the Elementary School and MS/HS drop-offs and pick-ups as well as the traffic pattern for the districts school buses. All bus loading and unloading will be on the North side of both buildings. All student drop-offs and pick-ups should be done at the front entrance of each building. The student parking lot will be open on the first day of school. School personnel will be outside the first few days to help direct traffic and parking. Thank you for your continued support.
