Dear R31 Families and Community Members,

Thank you for all you've done to ensure a smooth, safe start to the 2026-27 school year. We have some exciting things planned in the months ahead, but we couldn't do what we do without your support. We know this time of year is busy with academics, activities, and family obligations. Please help us support your child by keeping lines of communication open with your teachers and principals. Don’t hesitate to reach out if there are ways we can assist with any barriers, questions, or concerns. By working together, we assure our students have the best opportunity for success! Please reach out if I can be of assistance at any time. Thank you for making each day a GREAT DAY to be a BULLDOG!

Dr. Kyle W. Dare, Superintendent

Academic updates

Each year, the Rolla 31 School District publishes the Annual Performance Report to provide a snapshot of school and district-wide rankings based on the Missouri Department of Education's metrics. The results have been delayed this year due to the Missouri State Board of Education's intent to implement an A-F Report Card for each district. We hope to have more information on both initiatives soon. For more information, please refer to this article from MO DESE.
