Autism World Awareness Day: April 2
|
|
April 2 is World Autism Awareness Day. Autism, or autism spectrum disorder (ASD), refers to a broad range of conditions characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech, and communication. According to the Centers for Disease Control, autism affects an estimated 1 in 59 children in the United States today with boys four times more likely to be diagnosed than girls.
We encourage you to wear blue or their signature puzzle-piece symbol as we honor our friends and colleagues with autism and start the conversation about all our unique abilities. Email your pics to
quicknews@nixaschools.net
for posting on our social media.
Knowledge makes it easier to understand. Please take the time to watch the attached video
Just like you- Autism
(short) with your child or as a class and talk about all the wonderful things that make us who we are. You can find the full version at

Two Nixa Students Named to Missouri Scholars 100
|
|
Two Nixa High School seniors, Sloane Lawson and Amanda Eckels, have been selected for the 2020 Missouri Scholars 100, a statewide program that honors 100 of Missouri's top academic students in the graduating class of 2020.
Missouri Scholars 100 is a program sponsored by the Missouri Association of Secondary School Principals. Schools across Missouri were invited to nominate candidates for this statewide recognition. The selection is primarily based on a formula using the student's grade point average and ACT or SAT score. Each student nominated had first to meet criteria of an "Academic Decathlon," which included ten "events" designed to assure the academic strength of the student. The student must have a minimum GPA of 3.75, a minimum ACT score of 29 or a minimum SAT score of 1600, be ranked in the upper ten percent of the class and have taken high-level courses in mathematics, science, English, and foreign language. The student must also have excellent attendance, be an exemplary school citizen, and be involved in the school activity program.
