Chaffee R-2 is excited to join districts all across the region and the Greater Ozarks Cooperating School Districts in celebrating Teacher Proud Tuesday on the second Tuesday of every month. The purpose of the Teacher Proud Tuesday campaign is to lift up and celebrate the profession and those currently serving, to recruit and inspire candidates to consider teaching, and to inform communities, business leaders and policymakers the importance of public education.
We need your help in selecting teachers to spotlight each month. To nominate an outstanding teacher please submit the form below. Nominate as many teachers as you'd like and keep in mind that the nominations will roll from one month to the next, so there is no need to repeat your nominations.
Join the celebration! On the second Tuesday of each month, watch for the #TeacherProud hashtag on your favorite social media channels to like and share the celebrations.

Honorable Mention Outfielder Carson Spies
Congratulations guys!
All spring athletes, I will be in contact this week about patch orders and will make our spring sports patch orders on Friday June 16th.
On one of the last days of the school year we had a meeting with all 7-11th grade athletes (going to be 8th through seniors) and gave out a summer offseason workout schedule, as well as summer sports schedule, and also notified them if they needed a new physical before next year (along with the paperwork needed).
I just updated what has been turned in and we have over 40 returning athletes without an up to date physical on hand for next school year.
Make sure to get this taken care of before you start your next sport and have to miss practice time, as MSHSAA states you have to have 14 practices in to be eligible to play!
You can message the page or email coach Horrell to check your child’s physical status amhorrell@chaffee.k12.mo.us
Thank you and hope you’re enjoying your summer!
