As a reminder, our Back to School night will be held on August 17. This casual come and go time is a great way for you to come with your child to meet their teacher and bring in school supplies. If you ordered school supplies through the PTO, those supplies will be on student desks. We will split the time into two different times based on family last name (see below). This allows for conversations in a less crowded environment.

Back to School Night Times:

5:00-5:45—Family Last Name A-L

5:45-6:30—Family Last Name M-Z

In the past, we have had tables set-up for groups that want to be available to answer questions or have information available (for example, Girl Scouts). If you would like to have a table available, please contact Shanna Harris (sharris@usd232.org or 913-667-1800) by August 14. Tables will be outside near the front of the building.

We have a few staff changes this year that I would like to share with you. Two of our amazing teachers will be moving to different grade levels. Mrs. Peterson will be teaching 3rd grade, and Mrs. Mulder will be teaching 4th grade. Mrs. Mohn will join the staff as our math interventionist, and Mrs. Hansen and Mrs. Niles will continue on in a permanent role as the Connections C teachers.
