Pettis County RV School District

Today, Wednesday, August 20th Norhwest schools will keep students inside of the building throughout the day. This is due to an alleged search for a person by law enforcement. This decision has been made in order to proceed with an abundance of caution. There has NOT been any threat of any kind made toward the school. Thank you for your understanding that we are making this decision based on limited information. It is possible that keeping children inside today is unwarranted, however we are striving to do our best to keep our children safe.

Northwest JH Volleyball practice will begin on Monday, August 18, 6:00-7:30 PM. You will need to have a completed physical on file in order to participate.

This morning there is law enforcement activity in Hughesville. Due to this, all students at the high school will remain in the building until the situation is resolved. The building is locked and secured.

Host Families needed in the Pettis County R-V school District. Foreign Exchange Students are wanting to come to Northwest this year or next year, but are needing host families. Please contact Kate Lawson at 660-525-9356 or katelawson.ciee@gmail.com. You can learn more about the program at www.ciee.org/host

Watch for us on Monday!

Pettis County R-V students and parents: In compliance with Missouri Statute RSMo 162.207, students are prohibited from using or displaying electronic personal communication devices (cellphones, smartwatches, earpods, etc.) from the beginning to the end of the school day including instructional time, meal times and time between classes. Violation of this policy shall result in disciplinary consequences consistent with the District’s student code of conduct.

Elementary students will turn their devices into their classroom teacher at the beginning of every day.
Junior High and High School students may keep devices on their person out of sight.
Mrs. Weathers and Mr. Ringen may be contacted if further clarification is required. This new law differs from our old school rules concerning cellphones. Together we will navigate the changes.
