USD 415 Families would you give us some feedback to help us continue to serve you and your child? We know families are a critical element in each student’s educational success. Please take a moment to complete our 15 question family engagement survey. Keeping in mind the survey was not written with this year of changing circumstances in mind, these goals are especially important to us in this often topsy-turvy year. The manner of implementation may have changed, and your answers may need to reflect on one of the ways we adapted to meet the unique needs and challenges of this year.

The first graders in Mrs. Bannister’s class have participated in a month long Valentine exchange all across the country. Teachers from across the country signed up their class up to participate in a Valentine letter exchange. Grades Pre-K to 6th could participate. Each class was to make enough Valentines for the number of schools in their group and then send a letter with the Valentine explaining our school and interesting things to do near our location or what made our area unique. The students created their Valentines, helped write the letter, and learned how to mail a letter with our United States Postal Service. The students anxiously waited for the first letter to arrive and it came from Long Island, New York! Throughout the month of February we received 20 letters from 20 different states, one even came from Canada! Each time a letter came in, students colored in the state on their map. This led to great conversations about where states are located in our country and the things to do near their area. Several of the students have created a list of places they want to visit now. We also met two of our schools on Zoom. On these calls the students had to give clues to the other school for them to guess what state we live in. Once both states were guessed the students were able to visit with each other.

Huge night for the middle school boys' basketball teams tonight! They took on Perry and came out on top with 4 wins. The wins sealed a Big 7 League Championship for the 8th grade and 2nd place for the 7th grade. Congratulations!

Reminders from your School Nurses:
Please keep your student home if he/she is ill with two or more symptoms of COVID-19 (headache, nausea/vomiting, diarrhea, sore throat, cough, short of breath, extreme fatigue, chills/shivering/shaking/sweating, new loss of smell/taste, or fever). This is for the health and safety of all students and staff and to help us be in school for as long as we can. We do realize allergy and harvest seasons are upon us and will do our best, however a doctor’s note may be required as proof of alternate diagnosis.
If your student is sent home with two or more symptoms, they are not tested for COVID, and do not have an alternate diagnosis (influenza, strep throat, etc.), the student must remain out of school and all activities for ten days from symptom onset.
These are the guidelines the state of Kansas has set forth for schools to follow as we return to in-person learning.
Thank you for your cooperation,
Erin Winger and Whitney McCauley
