Joplin R-8 schools to remain open Thursday

(From Joplin Schools)

School is Open on Thursday, January 13, 2022!

Again, the first three days of school that are canceled, regardless of reason, will be made up at the end of May. And make-up days four through eight will initiate AMI. Students will be expected to complete work on AMI days.

We had 15% of staff and 17.5 % of students out today. We have been able to remain open and plan, at this time, to be in session tomorrow, January 13, 2022. 

Should the District make a decision to close school anytime between now and the remainder of the school year, we would make up the first three days on May 25, 26, & 27.

 
Additional make-up days (days 4 through 8 ) would initiate Alternative Methods of Instruction (AMI) days. Your students' teachers should be communicating AMI expectations to you.
