Good morning Parents/Guardians,

Per communication sent home with students at the end of last year and social media reminders posted prior to the first day of school, today, August 19, "all students entering PRE-K, Kindergarten, 8th Grade and 12th Grade must have required vaccinations before the first day of school."

Students who do not have the appropriate vaccinations or if immunization records were turned in today, the first day of school, will not be able to start today. Our school nursing staff must review records and ensure appropriate immunizations are recorded and this takes time to process. Thank you for your cooperation as we strive to ensure all health records of our Eagles are up-to-date and in compliance with state law requirements.

Sincerely,
Dr. Travis Graham, Superintendent
Purdy R-II School District

📚 Missouri Student Cell Phone Policy Update

Effective from the fall of 2025 (2025–26 school year), Senate Bill 68 now requires all public and charter schools in Missouri to implement a state‑wide ban on student use of cell phones and other personal electronic devices throughout the school day—including class, lunch, passing periods, and study halls.
Please see attached as how this applies to your students at Purdy R-II.
