We hope everyone has a happy and safe summer! Before you unplug, we wanted to share a few resources available to support our families over break. These can also be found anytime on our district website:
Care Closet: USD 495 families can request hygiene and personal care items at no cost, thanks to our partnership with Giving the Basics.
CommUNITY Resources: From crisis support to healthcare and family resources, this list has been vetted by our school social workers and administrators to make sure it meets local needs.
Pawnee County Summer Food Program: Starting June 2, free meals will be available for all kids ages 1–18 at the Larned Methodist Church. Stop by Monday through Friday from 11:30 AM to 12:30 PM, through July 25. Parents can pick up each day, but kids need to be present the first time to sign up.
Summer WIN kicks off June 9!
We’ll see everyone back on August 21 to start the 2025–26 school year!
