Happy Veterans Day
All Waynesville R-VI schools have been or will be honoring Veterans with activities including concerts, breakfasts, assemblies, round table discussions with Veterans and writing heartfelt letters of thanks.
Today (Nov. 11, 2025) our JROTC and Waynesville High School Tigers Pride Marching Band will participate in the Veterans Day Parade in St. Robert. The parade follows the 11 a.m. Veterans ceremony that is hosted by the Waynesville-St. Robert Chamber of Commerce.
There will be no school and all offices will be closed today (Nov. 11, 2025) in observance of Veterans Day.
The Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) released the statewide Annual Performance Reports (APRs) for the 2024-25 school year on Nov. 6, 2025, and the Waynesville R-VI School District has received 90 percent of possible points. This is the highest Waynesville R-VI has received since MSIP 6.
“We invite our community to celebrate this accomplishment because every data point represents a student who is learning and growing,” said Waynesville R-VI Superintendent Hilary Bales. “This level of growth and achievement is only possible through the very hard work of our teachers and combined efforts of our students, staff, parents and community.”
APRs demonstrate the progress being made toward meeting the standards and indicators in the sixth iteration of the Missouri School Improvement Program (MSIP 6). The report measures multiple areas including academic achievement, continuous improvement, attendance and readiness for success beyond high school.
Bales noted that data plays an essential role in the district’s continuous improvement efforts. “We use data as a tool for reflection and action,” she said. “Our teams analyze assessment results, attendance patterns and growth measures to evaluate our strengths and identify areas for growth. This allows us to make informed decisions that strengthen instruction, enhance student support and ensure continued progress.”
Each year, the district reviews its performance from the previous year and identifies actionable steps to make meaningful improvements. “Our work is never done,” Bales said, “but we do want to celebrate with our community the success from this past year — because it truly takes all of us.”
MSIP is Missouri’s accountability system for evaluating and classifying public schools. It sets expectations for instructional practices and student outcomes, aiming to ensure every graduate is prepared for success in college, career, and life.
