There has been a fire in the apartment complex to the east of Ray Miller Elementary. Ray Miller has not been affected by the fire and the fire department is actively controlling the situation. We are keeping Ray Miller students inside for recess. We are working to make sure that students who live in the complex or who take the walking trail have a dismissal plan before the end of the day. Traffic at the east end of Normal Street is blocked and this may impact parent pickup at Ray Miller. We will keep you posted closer to dismissal time.

Updates Concerning Possible Threats
Friday, September 20, 2024, 1:00pm
Dear K-R3 Community:
The recent school shooting at Apalachee High School near Winder, Georgia, has increased the occurrence of online social media threats involving school shootings, both in Missouri and across the country. Districts in our area have had their share of threats this week, and Kirksville Schools are not immune to these events. Last night our district was made aware of general transient social media posts involving our schools.
The local posts are being thoroughly investigated by the Kirksville Police Department in full cooperation with the district. All reported threats are investigated today and every day. So far none of the reported leads have proven to be credible. We want to thank community members, parents, staff, and students for reporting any perceived threats. Any new leads are greatly appreciated; please contact KPD at 660-785-6945.
We want to note that keeping our students and staff safe always has to remain our number one priority. Along with that, we want to acknowledge that this is an emotional issue for everyone involved; we respect the decisions of parents to do what is best for their children when sending them to school.
Lastly, we want to thank Kirksville Police Department and our district staff for their continued commitment to the safety of our students.

Kirksville R-III School District
Kirksville R-III is aware of rumors concerning a potential threat made against our schools and is currently working with authorities. Law enforcement is actively investigating the matter.

As always, please contact any of our buildings, or Kirksville Police Department, with information of potential threats. Thank you for partnering in keeping our community safe.

When they are able to experience how empowering education is, it is so motivating--both for them, and for me. "
Laura and her family have a flock of sheep that her daughters show all over the country. In her free time, she enjoys reading, fly fishing, doing upholstery projects, and riding horses.
