If you need accident insurance to cover your student for this year, please take advantage of this policy that you can purchase through K&K. It is very reasonable. The link is available at the bottom of the newsletter.

Extra milk and extra servings charges apply to everyone, including those on free/reduced lunch.
We would like to encourage everyone to complete a free/reduced lunch application. Some of the money we receive is determined by our percentage of students who qualify for free/reduced lunch, and the more families who can take advantage of this program, the more financial aid the district can qualify for. This paperwork will be included with enrollment forms.
Come to Open House on August 18th for a meet and greet with the new administrators! Representatives from the Board of Education will also be joining us.

Residency Audit
The Miller County R-III School District is conducting a residency audit as per Section 167.020 (2), RSMo. In order to register a pupil in the district, the parent or legal guardian of the pupil shall provide proof of residency in the district. The term “residency” shall mean that a person both physically resides within a school district and is domiciled within that district. For the purposes of residency verification, the following documents will be accepted:
- Rental Contract
- Real Estate Contract signed by all parties
- Utilities Bill/Deposit Receipt
- Payroll Check, Driver’s License, or other employment documents.
Documentation must be received prior to the first day of school for the student to attend. Non-resident students must have tuition paid or a signed payment plan on file in the superintendent's office prior to the first day of school.
You may view the Residency Regulation here.
You can get the Residency Enrollment Checklist here or from the school office.
