Macon County R-IV School District

Attention parents and high school students (9th-12th grade). If you live in the Macon County R-IV or the Bucklin R-II school district, you are eligible! Our teams are looking for more student-athletes who are willing to step up, compete, work hard, and be part of something bigger than themselves. Right now, our baseball team has only 7 boys committed. We need more players to be able to field a team and give these students the opportunity to play the game they love. You don't have to be a star. You don't have to have years of experience. You just have to be willing to show up, work hard, learn, and be a teammate. ⚾ Baseball — We need more players! 🥎 Softball — Come be part of the team! If you've ever thought about playing—or if you know a student who should give it a try—now is the time. You may join the team by attending practice or by calling the school at 660-376-6020. Softball practices at Macon County this week from 4:00pm- 5:30pm (Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday). Baseball practices at Bucklin this week, bus time is 3:30pm from Macon County and the bus will return at 6:00pm (Friday). We will be recruiting players through August 28th.

Starting with the 26-27 school year, Macon County R-IV is offering Chromebook Protection Plans to individual students and families. More information can be found in your welcome packet. Please contact Mr. Olsen with any questions.

We would like to extend our gratitude to Regional Missouri Bank in New Cambria for providing breakfast to our teachers and staff last week! We are truly grateful!

We are so grateful for our Macon County R-IV Teachers and Staff! Let's give a well-deserved shoutout to Barb Moore (5 years of service), River Wright (5 years of service) and Debbie Shoemaker (35 years of service).

As we prepare for the upcoming school year, we are asking parents to let us know if their child will or will not be riding the school bus. If your child's transportation plans have not changed from last year, no action is needed. If your child’s transportation plans are different from last school year, please call the school office and let us know. The school phone number is 660-376-6020. This information helps us make sure we have accurate bus routes and can plan appropriately for all students. Thank you for helping us plan for another successful school year!

Mark-free gym shoes are required for all students. Mark-free gym shoes provide better traction, helping reduce slips and falls while students participate in recess, physical education classes and extracurricular athletics. Thank you for helping us create a safer environment for all students.

Please note that due to a generous school supply drive organized by True Blue, some general school supplies and wired headphones will be available for all students. Please note the revised supply lists for the 26-27 school year.

We've updated our phone number! Macon County R-IV has a new phone number: 660-376-6020. If you have our previous number saved, please update your contacts and use our new number. We look forward to hearing from you and seeing you soon!
