📢 Looking Ahead: Let’s Plan for a Strong Year Together! 📢

🗓️ The first day of school is Tuesday, August 19, 2025!
We know it’s never too early to start planning—and we want to help! As you look ahead to family time and appointments, please take note of our scheduled school breaks for the 2025–2026 year.

📚 Why it’s important:
Attendance matters. Each day your child is in school helps build the foundation for their learning, growth, and success. Missed days mean missed moments—both academically and socially.

✅ Planning around school breaks helps avoid unnecessary absences and ensures your child stays on track.

We appreciate your support and partnership in making every school day count

A year from now, this building will be complete! We are excited to share the progress of the North Callaway Elementary School project. Steel for the building is being established on the front of the building, and today they are pouring the footings for the storm shelter, which is the cafeteria and library. The new high school parking lot will be completed for the first day of school and the Callaway Cup.

Thank you to our many patrons, especially our TLC families, coaches, and student-athletes, who've adjusted this summer to keep construction moving forward. This is truly a community project and a testament to our District's commitment to a quality education for every Thunderbird.

Yesterday, Missouri Governor Mike Keheo signed Senate Bill 68, a large education bill, into law. One significant part of this legislation was changes to student personal communication devices for all public schools and charter schools in the State. Please see the attached letter regarding this change for the North Callaway R-1 School District.

Things are happening at the building site for the new North Callaway Elementary School building! Construction Progress Since March, much of the work has focused on site preparation and utility installation for the new building. We’re thrilled to share that concrete is being poured today for the K-2 wing! Because this is a pre-engineered metal building, construction will move forward in sections. The K-2 wing at the front of the building comes first, followed by the administrative wing and the Thunderbird Learning Center. We anticipate seeing major progress throughout June and July! Upcoming Improvements Beginning Tuesday, May 29, Coil Construction will start grading for a brand-new high school parking lot. This gravel lot will offer daily parking for students and staff, as well as convenient access for football games, track meets, and other large school events. Looking Ahead We expect the new parking lot to be ready by the start of school in August. In the meantime, we’re working closely with vendors to select playground equipment, order new furniture, and enhance school safety with updated cameras and a modern intercom system. Thank you for your continued support as we grow and improve together. We’re excited about the future and know this project would only be happening with your support.
