Dear Parent/Guardian:
The district is taking part in the Missouri School Climate and Culture Survey. Results from this survey will be used as part of the school improvement review during the 2025-2026 academic year. As part of this process, parents, students, and school employees are asked to complete surveys regarding the programs and services available to students voluntarily.
Please take a few minutes to answer the survey at the link provided. Responses from all parents will be anonymously summarized and will become part of a report for the school district. The school district will use this report in the development of school improvement efforts.
If you have more than one child in school, please complete a survey for each child. The surveys will be processed so that school officials receive reports about each building in the district.
The questionnaires contain demographic and opinion questions. You have the option not to respond to any item or not to complete a survey at all.
Thank you for your help.
Dr. Kolwyck

Scott County R-IV School District has a Second Certified School Safety Specialist
Dewey Heppe of the Scott County R-IV School District has received certification as a School Safety Specialist.
Dewey Heppe attended the recent School Safety Academy hosted by the Missouri School Boards’ Association’s Center for Education Safety. The event, held from September 15 -17, 2025, in Cape Girardeau, is designed to train and certify school safety coordinators in comprehensive school safety planning and development. School safety personnel from multiple school systems throughout the state attended the academy at no cost to local school districts. “It’s essential that students, teachers, and staff are in a safe learning environment,” Center for Education Safety’s Chief Operating Officer John McDonald said. “Schools must have processes and protocols in place and have trained staff to respond accordingly to ensure our students can focus on learning,” he added.
Topics at the School Safety Academy included support systems for addressing behaviors, legal aspects of school safety, trauma-informed schools and mental health resources, intervention and de-escalation strategies, emergency preparedness and plan development, behavioral risk and threat assessments, cybersecurity fundamentals, and more.
The CES School Safety Academy provides the foundational training necessary to certify school safety coordinators, with plans to expand to more advanced training and certification as the program develops over the coming years.

Good evening Hawk Nation! Due to the road work on Highway H, bus route J will begin 10 minutes earlier tomorrow. This means the morning bus stops for ROUTE "J" will be adjusted by approximately 10 minutes starting tomorrow morning. With tomorrow being the first day for the adjustment, please be at the morning stop at least 10 minutes earlier than normal. Have a great evening!
