Spring Sports for Middle School and High School: Spring practices start on March 2nd!
Physicals for the 2025-2026 school year: sports physical evaluations are required every two years in order to be eligible to participate. If you are needing a physical, new forms must be filled out. All 4 pages must be filled out by your physician, but only the last page (MSHSAA Medical Eligibility Form - Step 3) must be turned in to your coach. Keep the other 3 pages for your records. If you have a physical on file from last year and it is good for another year, you do not need to do anything.
If you have a physical that has expired or needing a new one, you must fill out the new forms. Please be sure to obtain a physical and fill out the "pink practice card". The code of conduct form and drug testing form must be filled out (if you have not filled one out before) and must be turned in prior to the first day of spring sports practices. High school and middle school forms must be turned in by the first spring practice in order to participate in any practice. Click https://5il.co/3gr3w and https://5il.co/3gr3z to print out the forms.
Forms and the practice card can be picked up in the high school office. ALL athletes must turn in a pink practice card before the 1st practice to participate.
Middle school and high school spring practices start on March 2nd. If you have any questions, please see Coach Francis.

Silex R-1 will be making a permanent bus route change for the AFTERNOON ONLY for Bus #10/ Mrs. Denise Groshong's route.
Bus 10 will drive up Highway E and Old Highway E like normal, then it will turn right down Old Auburn Road. It will then go down to Cuivre Ford Road. It will cross Highway 61 and drop off at Highway B last.
If you have any questions about this route change please call the school at 573-384-5227 and Mr. Heggemann or Mrs. Groshong will be glad to answer any questions that you have.
The reason for the change is due to the safety of our students and this allows us to crossover Highway 61 one less time.
