Although the start date for school has been pushed back, the district would like to have these commitments by July 24 so that each building will have time to adjust plans based on the number of virtual students.

The Stuttgart School District is blessed to have the BEST school nurses! Thank you for taking care of our students and staff. May you have an awesome Nurses Day today and Nurses Week all week!

Students and families, the district has determined a detailed plan for AMI work for the remainder of the school year. This plan is broken down by building level: PAE, MMS and SJHS/SHS. The district encourages each family to review your child’s 3rd 9 Week grade for each class, discuss your child’s academic goals, and decide how your family will use AMI to reinforce skills for your child. Please reach out to your child’s teacher if you have any questions. Families, we are here to support you and your child. Please let us know if there is something we can help you with.

A special thank you message from Superintendent Rick Gales. Are we proud to be Ricebirds....YES, we are!
