After school tutoring is cancelled ALL week at Matthews Elementary.

Just a friendly reminder if your child is running a fever, throwing up, or diarrhea please do not send them to school. If they ran fever the night before, they can not come to school either. They need to be fever free with no medicine for 24 hours. If your child is sick, you can just call and let Mrs. Mary know in the office. We appreciate your help and hope everyone stays healthy!


Due to a rise in illness among students and staff, all schools in the New Madrid County R-1 School District will be closed on Friday, January 24, 2025. During this time, our custodial and maintenance teams will deep clean and sanitize all school buildings to help reduce the spread of illness and ensure a safe return for everyone.
Additionally, all homecoming activities will be postponed, and a new schedule will be announced soon. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we make these adjustments.
At this time, we plan to reopen schools on Monday, January 27, 2025. We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates if anything changes.
