Caution: Progress Ahead with Temporary Inconvenience
You may have noticed a few marker flags and stakes located on our campus. MoDOT will soon be resurfacing Hwy 19, included in the project is the addition of a turn lane to improve safety and the traffic flow for our campus.
Beginning March 20th, our main entrance and exit will be closed. Ralls County R-II campus will be left with the entrance/exit at the east end of our campus off of Mark Twain Road (gravel road).
Safety will be our number one priority. We will have additional people posted on campus to assist with traffic. The inconvenience will be temporary and the end result will be safer for all vehicles. Thank you for your patience as this next project is accomplished.
A match grant was originally written by Ralls County R-II and approved by MoDOT to add the turn lane. MoDOT is now fully funding the project, no school district funds will be used. ESS has been awarded the project through MoDOT’s bidding process.

Severe Weather Preparedness- Be Ready!
Our school participated in the StateWide Tornado Drill this morning. Ralls County R-II is very fortunate to have a shelter on campus to safely gather all of our 900+ students and employees in the event of severe weather. Our multipurpose building was constructed in 2011 with grant funds and matching district funds. The building is rated to withstand winds up to 250 miles per hour. The multipurpose building is also our Junior High gymnasium.
Select community members have a key to unlock the building in the event of a Tornado Warning. This offers a safe location for community members to shelter in the event of an emergency.
