USD 495 family’s school will resume with normal hours tomorrow January 10th. Please be advised rural bus route students and parents if we discover roads during our morning route that are unsafe to travel, we will be in contact with parents. Roads throughout our district are still snow packed so please use caution and plan for additional time as you travel to school in the morning. If you are not comfortable with the roads, please contact your student’s school to excuse them in the morning. We look forward to seeing students and staff tomorrow.
Today is Law Enforcement Appreciation Day! USD 495 is thankful for SRO Perez and our ongoing partnerships with the Pawnee County Sheriff’s Office and the Larned Police Department. #larnedpride #bettertogether
Basketball games scheduled with Lyons for tonight January 9th have been rescheduled to January 23rd. #larnedpride
USD 495 families there will be no school for USD 495, Tuesday, January 9th. This is due to the weather outlook overnight and highway road closures throughout our area. Stay warm and stay safe. Student and staff safety is always our top priority and we appreciate your support.
The USD 495 Board of Education meeting has been postponed until January 15th at 6:00pm. #larnedpride
USD 495 families there will be no school or school activities for USD 495, Monday, January 8th. This is based on the forecasted winter weather event, that includes snow and intense high winds.

Student and staff safety is always our top priority and we appreciate your support.

USD 495 families sorry for the late notice but school will be cancelled for today. At this point with the snow continuing and road conditions I feel this is the best interest of students and staffs safety this morning. Again USD 495 classes are cancelled for today. Student and staff safety is always our top priority and we appreciate your support.
USD 495 families there will be a 2 hour delay of school for USD 495 today. This delay will provide additional travel time this morning in dealing with the snow and road conditions. Based on data from the national weather service the next couple hours we will have moderate accumulating snow fall. Again USD 495 will have a 2 hour delay today. Student safety is always our top priority and we appreciate your support.
Mrs. Fairchild's class had a great time celebrating New Year's and our first school day of 2024! They had a 1-minute dance party every hour of the day, made special hats and ended their day with party favors and a "Ring in the New Year" candy ring. They also did a team-building activity with cups, rubber bands, and yarn, and had fun throwing snowballs to practice math facts. What an unforgettable first day back!#larnedpride #lesfamily
Skyline does not have a girls JV team so all games on January 5th will be played in the middle school. JV Boys at 4:30 followed by varsity girls around 6 and varsity boys around 7:30. #larnedpride
What an incredible start to the first day back from winter break! 🎉 This morning, all JAG students gathered in the gym with JAG-Kansas Sr. Vice President of Programming, Beverly Mortimer to share some big news. Our very own Ally Belt was named JAG-K Region 1 Student of the Month (there were competitors from nearly every school with JAG west of Salina!) and, wait for it…. The STATE Student of the Month! With over 100 schools across Kansas in the JAG program, this is an incredible achievement. Congratulations, Ally! Your hard work really shows and we are so proud of you! #larnedpride #besttribeever
