Let's give a warm MCR-IV welcome to Ms. Natisha Jett, our new 2nd Grade Teacher!
"Hello everyone!
My name is Natisha Jett, and I am excited to be joining the Macon County R-IV School District this year. I graduated from Bevier C-4 High School in 2003, and continued my education at Moberly Area Community College where I obtained my Associate’s Degree in 2005. Since then, I attended Central Methodist University where I obtained my Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Education in December 2025.
For the past three years, I have taught Early Childhood and K-2 Special Education. I am excited to start this new chapter as a 2nd Grade teacher at Macon County R-IV. I look forward to working with the students and their families, while bringing my experience and skills into the classroom. Being a teacher has always been my childhood dream.
Outside of school, I have 3 children. Their names are Kayden, Korbin, and Kaleb. Kayden is 19 and currently attending Columbia College, Korbin is 17 and will be a Senior, and Kaleb is 11 and will be going into 6th grade. I enjoy watching them play sports, going to the beach, and spending time with friends and family. Besides being a teacher, I work at True Blue Bbq as a part time waitress. I am looking forward to getting to know the students, families, and staff of the Macon County R-IV community and to making this a great school year!

It's time to welcome our new PK-12 Band and Music Teacher, Ms. Kennedy Parrish!
"Hi everyone! I'm Kennedy Parrish, and I'm thrilled to be starting my first year as a Music Teacher at Macon County R-4. I graduated from Green City R-1 and I'm currently working towards my Associate of Arts in Teaching. My goal is to earn my Bachelor's Degree in Music Education, and eventually my Master's. I have such a deep love for music, and I truly can't wait to share that passion with my students. When I'm not at school, you'll find me on my farm, raising goats and hanging out with my three dogs. I also really enjoy spending quality time with my family. I'm so excited to bring my energy and love for music to the Macon County R-4 community!"

Congratulations to our 4th Quarter Honor Roll students!
Fourth & Fifth graders were also challenged to create a basket launcher with ping pong balls. We then held a contest for who could make the most baskets out of a trial of 10 attempts. We had a lot of fun with this project and Tommie was crowned the winner!
Fourth & Fifth graders enjoyed a parachute challenge last week. Using the supplies given, they had to create a parachute that would stay in the air the longest. Aurora and Luke were the winners. Their parachute floated in the air for 27 seconds.
7th and 8th grade students put their engineering skills to the test by designing, building, and testing bridges! 🌉🔧
Students worked hard to create structures that were not only creative but also strong enough to withstand testing. Through teamwork, problem-solving, and a little trial and error, they learned firsthand about engineering and structural design.
Great job to all of our future engineers for their hard work and innovation! 👏🛠️
Although the weather didn't cooperate, our indoor field day turned out to be a lot of fun! Students competed in a variety of minute-to-win-it games. They all really seemed to enjoy it!
Congratulations to the MCR-IV Class of 2026!
Wishing you all the best. We are so proud of you!

6th grade science got a little messy today during our Egg Drop Experiment! 🥚🚀
Students worked hard designing and building creative safety devices to protect their eggs from impact. We saw lots of teamwork, problem-solving, engineering, and a few spectacular splats along the way! 😆
Despite the mess, it was a fun hands-on learning experience, and many eggs survived the challenge! Great job to our young engineers for thinking outside the box and testing their designs.
We truly enjoyed our field trip to InspireU in St. Joe today! Thank you to Mrs. Jones for making arrangements for us to go!!
