Reminder: No School for students on Monday and Tuesday. See you on Wednesday!
We are proud of all of our runners who competed in districts today. Congratulations to Olivia & Owen on qualifying for the state cross country meet!! #HornetPride 🔴⚫️✨
We are excited to announce a brand-new addition to our Family and Consumer Science (FACS) class.
Our classroom just welcomed realistic infant simulators to give our students a true hands-on look at parenting and child development.
In the coming weeks, these "babies" will be going home with our students. To simulate real life, they will cry, require late-night feedings, need diaper changes, and demand plenty of care and attention.
This program offers an opportunity to build life skills, responsibility, and empathy. We can't wait for our students to experience this unique learning opportunity.

DESE - A-F School Grading Framework
Dear Laquey families,
After attending the State Board of Education meeting yesterday we wanted to share some information.
In the coming days or weeks, you may see something coming out in regards to letter grades for all public schools in Missouri. We want you to hear this from us, along with what it means.
About the Rating:
The Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) is developing its first pilot A–F grades for public schools, created under an executive order Governor Mike Kehoe signed in January. The rating is based on 2024–2025 Student Data: These preliminary letter grades are calculated entirely using assessment results and performance metrics from the 2024–2025 school year. They represent a historical snapshot from two school years ago, rather than a real-time reflection of our current classrooms or ongoing progress. This is the first year of a brand-new state evaluation model. Because this is a pilot rollout, DESE is still finalizing its formulas. We fully expect the state framework to evolve, and as standardizations shift, district scores may shift as well.
We have shared concerns with the state about how quickly this system was developed, and we will continue to do so.
We want you to know that we are more than a simple grade. We understand and will continue to focus on the academic achievements of the students of Laquey. We are a loving community and are all dedicated to helping the next generation of adults. Along with that we as a school and you as the community, family, friends, and supporters are working together everyday to enhance the lives of each child. The grade will not show the positive relationships our teachers and students develop, the individual growth students are achieving, and all those learning experiences students receive in extracurricular activities and other associations we have in the school district.
No state score calculated in Jefferson City can replace what you experience as a parent every day. You know your child’s teachers, the environment in their classrooms, and the individual growth they make throughout the year.
Thank you for your continued partnership and trust.
Sincerely,
Kent Stoumbaugh
Superintendent
Laquey R-V School District
