Weekly Update

Student led conferences will be held on Monday February 19th from 12-7:30pm. Please make sure you bring your child with you to conferences. 7th and 8th grade students will need to bring their iPads to their conference to go over their slide show presentation. These conferences are held in your child's advisory teacher's classroom. If you want to meet with other teachers please reach out to them for their availability.

In light of the recent situation we had at the Middle School this week we as a district are looking at better ways to improve our communication moving forward. We will continue to collaborate with other school districts, law enforcement and KSDE officials to do all we can to communicate the safety and security of our students, staff and schools. We have also discussed better ways to increase security at the middle school with the current location of our main office.

As always don't hesitate to reach out if you have thoughts, ideas and suggestions for ways to improve. We will all continue to work together to do our best for our students.

Don't forget to sign up for ASAP if your child is needing some extra help or time to complete their work. This 9 weeks we will be able to offer it 4 days a week to help students get caught up on missing assignments and get extra assistance and homework they might not understand.
