The Waynesville R-VI School District is seeking volunteers for its Partners on Patrol program, which is modeled after “Dads on Duty” programs.
A partner on patrol is an adult member of our community who:
· provides a positive influence to help create a safe school environment
· increases visibility and adult presence
· provides encouragement while assisting with supervising students
“Partners on Patrol add one more layer of safety for our students,” said Superintendent Hilary Bales.
A Partner on Patrol spends at least one hour each week being a positive presence in the hallways at Waynesville Sixth Grade Center, Waynesville Middle School, and/or Waynesville High School while assisting with supervising 6th - 12th grade students between classes. Partners on Patrol do not replace principals or school resources officers, but instead deliver big smiles, dispense positive affirmations, and perhaps share a few corny jokes while increasing adult visibility and presence.
Volunteers who are interested in becoming a Partner on Patrol should complete the Google Form at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfk6ThdYJd3XTcnpZMx5mlCrQ5WAQ1OjEQzBqtVK9-dqsEiZw/viewform?usp=header
Partners on Patrol volunteers must complete an initial background check (the form is available for download at https://core-docs.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/documents/asset/uploaded_file/4597/WRV/4649828/Front_and_Back_Volunteer_Application_Fillable_Updated_6.25.pdf. Background check forms are also available at schools and at the Administration Building. If selected to be a Partner on Patrol, an additional background check will be required. Once approved, Partners on Patrol will attend a brief training session and then pick a time to be present for at least one hour each week.
For more information about the program, please email community@waynesville.k12.mo.us or call 573-842-2250.

Bullard takes 2nd in Missouri Civics Bee
Brandon Bullard, a freshman at Waynesville High School, earned 2nd place and a $750 prize in the inaugural Missouri Civics Bee earlier this month at the State Historical Society of Missouri in Columbia.
His initial reaction about winning: “I was really excited, and was thinking about how I can put this on a college application,” Bullard said.
Bullard advanced to the state competition after securing 1st place in the regional contest, hosted by the Waynesville-St. Robert Chamber of Commerce and held at Parker Educational Center in April. He received $500 as the top regional prize.
For his entry, Bullard proposed multiple solutions to reduce the number of abandoned buildings. “It was part of a broader frustration I have with infrastructure in our community, Missouri and the U.S.,” he said.
To prepare, Bullard spent about six months fine-tuning his essay, practicing his speech, studying the lengthy guide and rehearsing for judges’ questions.
“He used solid research and legislation to back his opinions on the best avenues for handling abandoned buildings,” said Renae Smith, his mother. “I also think he has the right amount of charisma, knowledge and public speaking skills to deliver his topic in a manner which brings attention to the importance of his stance.”
Although he enjoys civics, government, and politics, Bullard says his ultimate goal is to spark change.
“I hope that by winning second place I bring attention to abandoned buildings and other infrastructure problems in Waynesville, Missouri, and the rest of America,” Bullard said. “The guy that got first wrote his essay on roads and highways, so I hope he brings attention to infrastructure issues as well.”
His mother praised his dedication and work ethic leading up to the civics bee. “He has always been a person who was very concerned with rights and justice,” she said. “He is passionate about issues and topics that are often atypical of others his age. Brandon's father and I are so very proud of Brandon's commitment to this endeavor.”

Attention Parents of WMS Athletes:
We are excited to announce a high number of athletes participating in our Fall Sports this year. With the increase in participation it has created a busy pick up time. We ask that you follow similar Pick Up procedures as to our after school dismissal.
Volleyball, Cross Country and Cheer: Parent pick up will take place in our main parking lot, we ask that you follow the traffic flow as seen in the diagram below. Please pull all the way forward down the front sidewalk to prevent other parents from being stopped in the road.
Football: Parent pick up will take place in the bus loading lot (located between WMS and the Sixth Grade Center). We ask that when you are exiting the bus loading lot, you use the access road between Parker Early Childhood and the football field and exit out the east end of the football parking lot. This will relieve congestion to the Main Lot exit.
Thank you all for your help with this new process.
