We enjoyed seeing how much our current preschoolers have grown this year in their educational journey at our preschool screenings! We also enjoyed meeting the new faces who plan to join our preschool next year. A special thanks to Party Barn LLC for donating our photo backdrop!

If you missed Archie’s preschool screening, please reach out to Kristi Reynolds to schedule an appointment for your child. (816)293-5312 ext. 1093 or kreynolds@archie.k12.mo.us. A developmental screening is required for children to attend preschool next year.

We will see you at our Preschool Enrollment meeting on April 22 at 6:30.

Visit the Archie Parents as Teachers Facebook page to see all the pics from the screenings.

Archie R-V and the Regional Professional Development Center- Positive Behavior Support Team have been working together to create school-wide expectations that focus on respect, responsibility and self-control.  These are three traits that can be used in all areas of our students' lives.  

Whirlwind families-

The character word for March is TEAMWORK. Teamwork helps children learn how to listen, share, and solve problems together. When kids work as part of a team, whether in the classroom, in sports, or at home, they build confidence, empathy, and respect for others. Encouraging teamwork teaches them that success isn’t just about individual achievement, but about supporting one another and working toward a common goal. 

The 5th-grade Leadership Group will demonstrate “teamwork” by hosting a fundraiser to help fight cancer. Be looking for more information about teaming up against cancer. 

 Warm wishes-                                                                                               Carolyn Johnston, PK-12^th Grade Counselor               cjohnston@archie.k12.mo.us

⇐  Read Across America: Archie Elementary will celebrate March 3rd-6th with Drop Everything And Read (D.E.A.R.) time. Check out the theme for each day. All children are encouraged to participate.

⇒Update:  The first week in March is National School Breakfast Week. OPAA! has a special breakfast menu for the week. This is a great time to try school breakfast!  

March is Missouri School Board Recognition Month. Our district will honor the Board of Education for its dedication and service at the board meeting on March 16, 2026, in the library from 6:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

Please join us for a come-and-go reception prior to the 7:00 p.m. board meeting to show your appreciation for our board members and thank them for their commitment to our schools and community.

If you are unable to attend, you are welcome to drop off a thank-you note or card at the central office anytime before Monday, March 16.

The upcoming ballot in April includes a proposal related to the Archie R-V School District. Voters will be asked whether to approve a bond issue that would fund improvements to school facilities without increasing the current tax rate. If approved, the bond would provide money for building upgrades, repairs, and other facility needs to support students, staff, and community use of the schools. The vote simply determines whether the district can use bond funding, at the existing tax level, to move forward with these improvements.

Improvements include: 

- Soffit and roof repairs

- HVAC automation

Air quality improvements- abatement & remediation

- Windows and doors

KIDZ Inc. is coming to the Archie R-V School District this spring!

We are excited to share that our facility is expected to open in April. Enrollment is now open for the remainder of the current school year, summer programming, and the upcoming school year.

Spots are limited, so don’t wait to sign up and miss your opportunity! The enrollment form includes a section for questions, and the KIDZ Inc. team will respond as soon as possible.

Once the facility is open, KIDZ Inc. will apply for state subsidies that could decrease or cover the cost of daycare for qualifying families.  

This partnership is designed to provide a safe, convenient childcare option for your child and family. We look forward to serving the Archie community!
