Big win for the softball team — they beat Van-Far 13-4 and finished 5th place at the Hallsville Tournament! Great job, ladies!
Ladybird softball beat New Bloomfield 7-1 and now heading to the 5th place game against Van-Far.
🏈🔥 GAME DAY SPIRIT IS IN THE AIR! 🔥🏈
Our Thunderbird football players kicked off game day by bringing some BIG energy to our elementary students! 📣💚🖤
One of the BEST benefits of having our elementary schools on a central campus is getting to see these connections happen every day! Our youngest Thunderbirds get to look up to, cheer for, and be inspired by our high school athletes — and our football players get to be positive role models for the next generation. 🏈⭐
From high-fives and smiles to sharing that Thunderbird Pride, these moments are what make our school community so special!
Let’s PACK THE STANDS and cheer on our Thunderbirds tonight! 📣🏈
LET’S GO, THUNDERBIRDS! 💚🖤

Dear North Callaway R-1 Families,
Thank you to the more than 450 families who have already completed back-to-school registration. Your promptness helps our staff plan thoughtfully for a smooth start to the year, and we're grateful.
As we prepare to welcome students back, I want to share a few important dates and updates. Our staff has been working hard all summer - organizing classrooms, refining routes, and preparing our newest building - so that every child feels welcomed, known, and ready to learn from day one. That commitment to relationships and results is what makes North Callaway special, and we couldn't be more excited for the year ahead.
Tuesday, August 18
Buses will run trial routes district-wide, both in the morning and in the evening, so we can iron out any concerns before the first day of school.
Wednesday, August 19
You'll receive an email with a link to the BusRight app, which includes your child's route information and real-time bus tracking.
Middle School Open House: 5:00-7:00 p.m.
