Welcome

Spokane R-VII Mission:
Through a partnership, all Spokane R-VII students will become effective communicators, responsible citizens, and self-motivated learners. Through this mission, we have identified four areas that as a district we will focus on this school year. 1) Communication Arts 2) Mathematics 3) Attendance 4) Transitions. The decisions that we make this school year regarding our students’ education will revolve around these four goals.

Distinction in Performance

The Spokane R-VII School District is proud to announce they have earned the coveted Distinction in Performance Award. This recognition highlights the academic achievements and progress made by the district during the 2008-2009 school year. Our district has received the Distinction in Performance Award five out of the last seven years. This distinguished recognition from the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education is indicative of the commitment to educational excellence within the Spokane R-VII School District.

This award represents the hard work of all persons within the Spokane R-VII school community, who contribute to the continual improvement and success of our students. This success is not only contributed to the exceptional staff, board of education, parents, and community members, but most importantly the diligence and commitment of our students in their academic endeavors.

To qualify for this recognition, K-12 districts had to meet 13 of 14 standards, including all of the standards that are based on Missouri Assessment Program test scores. The 14 academic performance standards are the basis of the state’s accreditation program for all Missouri school districts. The standards are based on scores from the state-mandated MAP tests, graduation rate, attendance, advanced placement courses, ACT scores, and other indicators. The Spokane R-VII School District is proud to announce that we achieved excellence in all 14 standard.

As accountability standards rise each year, members of the Spokane R-VII School District continue to work diligently to meet and exceed those standards. It is the joint effort of many that has propelled this district toward success in reaching continually rising standards. The importance of this type of team effort was aptly noted by Vince Lombardi, who said, "The achievements of an organization are the results of the combined effort of each individual." We each have an important role in providing every student of the Spokane R-VII School District with a high quality educational experience, enabling them to become effective communicators, responsible citizens, and self-motivated learners.
