This past week we said goodbye to our superintendent, Dr. Eric Allen. While Dr. Allen was our superintendent he worked diligently to ensure raises were always awarded to the employees, fought for our Federal Forest money that we were in jeopardy of losing, and always listened to employee concerns. His love for the district did not go unnoticed. Thank you, Dr. Allen for leading us. You will be missed!

Dr. Julie Williams has been named the Superintendent of Alton R-IV School District effective July 1, 2022.
“For 31 years, I have dedicated my life to public education,” said Williams. “I truly believe it is a duty to give back to society and to engross ourselves in the community in which we serve. My greatest passion is to advocate for rural schools and for the impoverished students of Missouri. It has been said, ‘If kids come to us from strong, healthy functioning families, it makes our job easier. If they do not come to us from strong, healthy, functioning families, it makes our job more important.’ I will continue to advocate for equitable access for Missouri students so each may find success regardless of their background.
My father, my siblings, my children, and I all attended Alton R-IV schools. I am grateful for the excellent education we received and have endearing memories of Oregon County. I am excited to share my experience as I team with a new district and look forward to my future in Alton.”
Please join us in welcoming Dr. Williams back home!
Summer School Starts May 31st! All students will receive free meals! We hope to see you there!
6-12th grade report cards will be emailed to parents next week. If an email is not on file, it will be mailed.
This year's 2022 elementary class pictures that were taken by Yearbook staff are not available to send home with students today.
They will be given to teachers to pass out at the beginning of the next school year in August.
Again, I appreciate your understanding. -Mrs. Cockrum
Parents,
Due to technical difficulties with our system, grade cards for elementary students will not be sent out via email until tomorrow. Students who usually receive paper copies of their grades will be sent home with grade cards today. All students are promoted to the next grade level unless you have been otherwise notified by the district. Please contact the school with any questions or concerns.
Mr. Hunt and Mrs. Orchard’s classes kicked off the final week of school by doing some epic experiments! The students saw what happened when you mix soda and mentos together, a chemical reaction that produces foam, and made some ooey gooey slime!
Summer School 2022: If you have any student coming into Kindergarten this fall, we would love for them to join us for summer school. It is a great way to get some adjustment time in for students and parents. Please drop by the elementary office and complete an enrollment form for those students.
Summer School dates are set for May 31 through June 24. Please make sure to get your forms turned in now, so that we can plan for teachers and activities. Hope to see you then
