On Wednesday, Governor Kelly announced that she is delaying the start of school in Kansas until after Labor Day. With this announcement it will affect our school calendar for the 2020-2021 year. We are in the process of updating that calendar with the new start date that also reflects the state requirements for hours. We are also working to develop plans for the reopening of schools based on three goals: 1. Return to school for in person education, while providing additional educational opportunities at parental request; 2. Being able to maintain in person school operations throughout the 2020-2021 school year; and 3. Provide both equitable and suitable, teaching and learning that meets district/state adopted outcomes.
Enrollment has opened. Please complete the enrollment so we can make appropriate plans for the start of school and ensure appropriate resources can be arranged. Thank you for your patience and flexibility as we continue to navigate these changes.
