To better serve our community and streamline requests for student involvement, Waynesville R-VI is launching a new process for community organizations to request student participation in their service projects or performances by our talented student groups.
Community organizations interested in partnering with our students may now submit a request online at https://forms.gle/heLtHMXzErCjo6LF7. This form may be used to request student groups, such as JROTC, musical groups, cheerleaders, the dance team, and for service projects. It also may be used to request artwork for an event.
A link to the form is also on the district’s main website at www.waynesville.k12.mo.us. Scroll to the orange “Community Resources” box and then click on the “Request student group for event/service” link.
For additional information about this new process, please contact studentrequests@waynesville.k12.mo.us.

AmeriCorps recognized in national newsletter
Waynesville R-VI’s AmeriCorps program was highlighted in the November 2024 issue of the nationwide AmeriCorps newsletter.
The newsletter stated the following, “The Waynesville AmeriCorps Program provides academic support through tutoring, mentoring, service-learning, and enrichment, with fitness and wellness support, to students in the Waynesville, Saint Robert, and Fort Leonard Wood Communities in Missouri. More than seven out of 10 of the students supported are military-connected children whose parents predominately serve at Fort Leonard Wood. AmeriCorps members help lead Club TIGER, an afterschool program that lets students explore and develop their talents, while gaining critical thinking skills for learning through the delivery of high quality, hands-on, project-based programs in a variety of content areas. During the 2023 – 2024 school year, 45 members served in the Waynesville R-VI School District with about one-third of those members being high school seniors serving in after school programs and summer school.”
