Friday, September 4, there was an altercation at the High School football game between multiple students; no weapons were involved or found on any persons. It was brought to the attention of the administration, quickly dealt with, and is being addressed. During this time, information was being spread about a potential threat to Robinson School. The students did the right thing by bringing information they heard to administration and SRO's in attendance. Safety is a top priority at Aurora R8. In collaboration with SRO's and Aurora PD, the threat has been found to be unsubstantiated. We will still follow extra safety protocols and increase support to make sure everyone feels safe when we return to school Tuesday. Thank you for your understanding and concern in this matter. Should you have any additional questions, please reach out to your child's school office.

Free Breakfast and Lunch for All Aurora R8 Students

Aurora R8 is participating in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) during the 2026–2027 school year. This means breakfast and lunch are available at no cost to every student enrolled in the district.

Families do not need to complete an application for free or reduced-price meals. All students may participate, regardless of household income or eligibility status.

Nutritious meals help students stay focused and ready to learn. We encourage families to have their children participate in the school breakfast and lunch programs.

For questions, please contact Aurora R8 at 417-678-3373.

We Survived the First Weeks!

The first weeks of school at Pate Early Childhood Center are officially in the books, and our teachers are still smiling!

The first week with our littlest Houn’ Dawgs is always full of big feelings, new routines, lots of learning, and plenty of memorable moments. Through it all, our Pate staff has been busy making sure every child feels safe, welcomed, and loved.

Parents, thank you for trusting us with your kiddos each day. We hope you know just how much we love having them here and how excited we are for the year ahead!

Here’s to a great first week and many more to come!
