The 2007-08 school year is about to come to a close. It has been a positive year of academic growth for students all across the district. Preliminary state assessment scores should arrive in June. We hope to have final results in August. It has also been a year of many student accomplishments in the classroom and in activities and athletics. The last day of classes will be held on Tuesday, May 20. We wish the entire community a safe and enjoyable summer.

USD 420 Board of Education to Examine District Facilities
The USD 420 Board of Education for the past several months has been discussing possible facility improvements for the elementary school as well as improvements in the athletic facilities at the fair grounds. At the April 9 BOE Meeting, the Board engaged Schaefer-Johnson-Cox and Frey Architects from Wichita to begin working with the Board, school, and community on a possible facility project. More information will be distributed during the summer and early fall as we begin the formation of planning committees.
