Middle School News

Dear Parents and Guardians,  

We would like to provide an update regarding this year’s school calendar and the use of calamity days.  Due to the unusually challenging winter weather, our district used more calamity days than anticipated.

However, after carefully reviewing our total instructional hours, we are pleased to share that we have still exceeded the state’s required number of instructional hours for the school year.  As a result, the district has decided that it will not be necessary to schedule make-up days for the missed time.

This allows us to maintain our current calendar without extending the school year.  

We appreciate your flexibility and support throughout the winter season.

Open Enrollment applications for the 2026-27 school year will be accepted beginning at 8:00 A.M. on April 1, and continue through 4:00 P.M. on May 15.

The priority by which applications will be approved for acceptance will be based upon the date of receipt and then by the time of receipt. The Fredericktown Board of Education through its policy has established grade level, school building and educational program capacities. The final number of applicants approved for enrollment will be based upon those established capacities. Prior to acceptance, in accordance to the adopted policy, an applicant’s prior disciplinary record may be taken into consideration.

However, applications must be resubmitted each school year in order for the District to know the student’s intent to return.
