8th Grade Participation in High School Athletics:
The Iowa Legislature recently enacted House File 2591 (HF2591), which allows 8th grade students to participate in high school athletics under certain circumstances. There are many questions surrounding what this new law means for schools and student-athletes. As we work through the implementation process, we are reviewing the legislation, utilizing guidance from the Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union (IGHSAU) and the Iowa High School Athletic Association (IHSAA), and developing local procedures that support our student-athletes while maintaining the integrity of our athletic programs. While Missouri Valley Community School District will not implement a blanket policy that automatically places all 8th grade students at the high school level, we recognize that there may be situations where participation at the high school level is appropriate. Potential opportunities for 8th grade students to participate in high school athletics will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The process starts with a recommendation from the respective head varsity coach followed by a review from the Activities Directors and finishes with a meeting with the student and their parent(s)/guardian(s) before a final decision is made. Thank you for your patience as we develop our local procedures. Our goal is to make informed decisions that prioritize student well-being as well as provide appropriate opportunities for all students.

Maasen May Term 2026 (Trips 3 and 4)
Our end of the week trips included a trip to Bowlero for some group Bowling. The kids had a chance to use the arcade as well. Other than getting some balls stuck in the lanes we had a great trip!
Our final trip of the week took us to Smash Park in Lavista. I must say, if you have not tried this out it is very cool. The kids took part in a pickle ball tournament. First Place went to Kaitlyn and Asah and Izaiah took Second Place. Keenan and Noah came out of the consolation bracket in 3rd and Maddy, Timmy and Briton took Fourth Place. The students got to hang in the arcade here as well, along with using foosball, ping pong, bag toss and connect four!
The students researched the career of Restaurant Manager for these two days. We are looking forward to next week!!
