Eagle Glen Elementary School students in grades 3-5 recently participated in a Google Meet with Author Sarah Mlynowski. She discussed the process of writing, and each student received a copy of "Upside Down Magic" to keep. The opportunity was made possible by proceeds from previous book fairs. This is Marisa Moylan's fifth grade class.
After-school tutoring to begin for grades 6-12
After-school tutoring  in math, science, and English Language Arts begins Wednesday, Nov. 11, and Thursday, Nov. 12, at the high school and both middle schools. 

In a recent survey about the current school year, many parents expressed their desire for additional academic intervention for students. 

The tutoring is available from 3 to 4:30 p.m. on Wednesdays for A-day students and Thursdays for B-day students at the high school and middle schools. 

High School 
Students may be assigned to After-School Panther Tutoring by their classroom teachers. Tutoring is also available to students on an optional basis, by request. A testing room will be available for freshmen and sophomores to make up missed assessments.

Students who need bus transportation must request to be added to the transportation list by the Monday that precedes that week's tutoring. In addition, students must stay in tutoring until 4:30 p.m. to receive a bus pass from one of the tutoring staff.

Middle School
At the middle school level, the program is called PAWS Tutoring, which stands for Practicing Academics With Support. Usually, teachers will initiate the PAWS support for students. The program offers students support while working on academics. Bus transportation is available, or car riders should be picked up by 4:40 p.m. 
If you have a question about after-school tutoring, call the school office.

Football semifinal game and state cross country

Football semi-final game
Tonight, Ray-Pec football hosts Joplin for the district semi-final game. Kickoff is at 7 p.m. at Panther Stadium. No tickets will be sold at the event. Due to MSHSAA equitable spectator guidelines, there are ticket limits, based on the game rosters for football, marching band, cheer, and the Prowlers dance team. Some students were selected through a lottery system for eligibility to purchase tickets. 

Postseason live streams will cost $10
Per rules established by the Missouri State High School Activities Association, the live stream can only be viewed through MSHSAA TV and will be available at: https://t.co/sqbvrCwI9d?amp=1. There is a fee of $10 per device.
There will be an icon under the "Live\Upcoming" section for the broadcast. There will be no more YouTube, Facebook Live or other streams available.
