Miller County R-III School District

We had a great first day today, and we appreciate all the cooperation from parents with drop-offs this morning. Our bus routes may run a few minutes early/late from normal pick up and drop off times for the first few days. We're still working out the best way to run the routes with several new stops, so we appreciate your patience. Please make sure students are ready for pick ups a few minutes early in the mornings until we get our timing worked out. James's route (usually bus 7, but it's bus 5 for the next couple of days) is being run by sub drivers this week, so we're doing the best we can to get our timing right, but it may be off a little more than usual. Thank you again for all of your patience with us as we get through this first week!

Another Teacher Workday is in the books. Today the new teachers to our school district learned how wonderful our community is with all the events, activities and resources that is offered by all. The teachers then had time to work in their classrooms to prepare for students. The elementary staff was trained on UFLI Foundations to incorporate teaching foundational skills for reading. Great job everyone!
