October 5, 2020
🤔 If you were ever wondering about what 🏈 ⚾️ 🤼‍♂️ Nixa athletics may look like down the road, check out these future stars in the making.
Current Situational Level: Level 2
While the district has been operating at Level 2 in our COVID plan since the start of school, we were waiting for the first full month to formally announce the level we were at to make sure we didn’t need to adjust our plan or how we were operating. We will remain at Level 2. The situational level description can be found at www.nixapublicschools.net/covid19.
Current COVID-19 Numbers
The district’s new COVID-19 case numbers have been updated at www.nixapublicschools.net/covid19. Please note these are the new cases that we identified as positive during that week.

In addition, due to the increase in cases in the county, the Christian County Health Department is using resources from across the state, so if you are identified as a direct contact the phone call could come from area codes across the state.
🎉🎉 Happy World Teachers' Day! 🎉🎉
UPDATED: USDA Grant: Free Meals ALL SCHOOL YEAR
The US government passed a bill that will extend the grant program for free breakfast and lunch through the end of the school year (this was originally due to end on December 31).

So, all students will qualify for a free breakfast and a free lunch for the entire school year. Students will go through the process like normal, but when they go to pay, it will be free.

This only includes our traditional plated lunch items. Ala carte items will remain at al-a-carte prices and do not fall under the free meal category.

Nixa Cans Tigers But Both Communities Share Record of 83,655 Pounds of Food
Nixa won the football game and the food drive in a record-setting year for the charitable effort tied to the Backyard Brawl high school football rivalry with Ozark.

The two communities combined to bring in 83,655 pounds for Least Of These food pantry, a 26-percent increase over 2019 and a record for the Can the Tigers/Can the Eagles effort.

Donate To A School Or Program
We have been receiving questions about how people can donate directly to a school. There are two options. One is to sponsor the school, program, or team. Your business gets recognition in various ways through that. If you are interested or have questions, contact triciachapman@nixaschools.net

The other way is to make a donation directly to the school building. You can do that at www.nixapublicschools.net/donate
