Spring 2024

Notes from Dr. Deis, MS/HS Principal 

We are moving into the final weeks of school and we are very busy! There are several activities on the calendar including baseball, track, FFA, FBLA, Band and Scholar Bowl as well as those end of season banquets and award ceremonies.  

Testing in the Middle School and High School will begin on April 29 and run through May 10. These will consist of the End of Course exams and the MAP tests. Please call the school if you have questions about the testing. 

Mrs. Walker and I are conducting exit interviews with the seniors and the seniors are also making plans now for their Prom, After Prom, Senior Trip, the Career, College, Scholarship Awards Celebration Night, and Graduation! 

With the end of the year coming up, the counselors are working with the administrators to finalize the 2024-2025 schedule. The calendar is set for next year and is already on the website. 

Please check out the upcoming dates below but please look at the updated calendar on the web often for changes!  And look at the Polo R-VII website for current announcements! 

As always reach out to me if you have any questions (660-354-2524, ext. 150 or deisb@polo.k12.mo.us).
