McDonald County School District families and friends...
This week, several schools around the area have been impacted by an increasing number of hoax reports of active shooter incidents.
We want to assure everyone that we are aware of the incidents and we take all threats seriously until proven otherwise.
If we receive such a threat, our plans include rapid communication of accurate information.
We will use our school’s mass notification system to send out updates via phone and text messages to parents and staff along with posting to our district’s social media pages and our website at www.mcdonaldr1.net.
The McDonald County School District will always remain vigilant regardless of false reports, and will also pursue any potential prosecution regarding those who seek to disrupt school by making a false threat.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

👀 🔍 Seeking out the best!
It’s what recruiters from McDonald County Schools are doing as current teachers are retiring and others are moving from the district. 🏫
The team recently gathered several top prospects from the Missouri Southern State University Education Career Fair. 🧑🏫👩🏫
It’s just part of a push by school leaders to attract educators who are passionate, dedicated, and motivated to make sure our students are provided with the highest quality education. 📚🏅
Here’s a look at a story by KODE/KSN TV highlighting McDonald County at the career fair: https://www.fourstateshomepage.com/mssu/learning-about-teaching-opportunities-at-the-education-career-fair/

🔦 Shining the light on learning. 📚
Students in Mrs. Martin’s 5th-grade class at Noel Elementary turned out the lights 💡 to learn a lesson about the sun and shadows. 🌚
🌅Using flashlights🔦, animal figurines🦓🐘, protractors📏, and paper📈, these young scientists👨🎓👩🎓 are exploring how the angle of the sun🌞 affects the length and position of shadows.
🤔What can they learn from this lesson? Well, by measuring and analyzing the shadows, they can gain a deeper understanding of the movement of the Earth, the rotation of the sun, and how they both contribute to the changing length and direction of shadows throughout the day. 🌎🕰️
Without a shadow of a doubt, these students are some of the brightest around! 😁
Just another way McDonald County Schools make a difference in every child, every day, whatever it takes! ❤️🖤
