Thank you to all of our MVBT families for your patience, understanding, and support as we navigated today’s late dismissal.
The safety of our students and staff will always remain our top priority. Mountain View students were released a few minutes ago, Birch Tree students are being released now, and our high school drivers were just released as well.
Our bus drivers share this same commitment to safety and will not take unnecessary risks this afternoon as they transport students home.
We greatly appreciate your cooperation and partnership as we work together to keep everyone safe.

The tornado warning and severe thunderstorm warning has expired in Howell County. We are releasing our MV students. We will be holding our Birch Tree students for just a little longer, until we feel all of our BT routes are safe. Thank you for your patience.

The Liberty Cabool baseball game in Springfield has been postponed and rescheduled for May 11. If you have a ticket, those will work for that date. The ticket is for that specific game. Hopefully we have better weather and field conditions on that day. We have already moved the Neelyville game that was on the 11th.

All games for LHS and LMS have been cancelled today due to the extreme weather threat later this evening. We felt like we could get some games in, but the travel home could be very dangerous. Golf is playing today, because they started this morning, and should finish.

2 school records were broken at the West Plains track meet last night! The boys 4x100m relay ran a time of 43.58, and Jasper Melby ran a 400m time of 50.30 to break the previous records. There were many other season bests and great performances by the whole team throughout the meet. Congratulations to all athletes on a very successful day!

If anyone is having trouble getting tickets, here is the easiest way to get to those. Go to MSHSAA tickets, look for Show Me Showdown, do not go to boys or class 3, these are past games from the sectional and quarterfinal rounds. Go look for March 13, this will be a 2 day ticket, purchase from there. If you can't go on Friday, when you click on Saturday it should have the option for a 1 day ticket. Hope this helps..

We will shorten the pep rally at the high school, and adjust the practice time that was set at Southern Boone, to make a trip through the Birch Tree Elementary lot on the way. The basketball team will leave LHS around 11:45 and head to Birch Tree, they will be back to MVE around 12:20 and then head on out of town. We are doing are best to include everyone in this process, but had some time constraints with practices set, but we can always make adjustments. Go Eagles!!

As we head into the 4th quarter of the school year, we want to share an important calendar update with our families.
Due to two non-emergency related closures, we will be making up those days on the following dates:
• March 23 will be a make-up day for the day school was dismissed for a teacher’s funeral.
• April 13 will be a make-up day for the day we will miss this Friday when many of our students and staff attend the Final Four game in Columbia.
Tuesday marks the first day of 4th quarter, and we have a lot of great activities and learning opportunities ahead for our students. As we enter the final stretch of the school year, we encourage everyone to make attendance a priority.
Let’s work together to finish the year strong!
