November Update
USD 420 Makes AYP
USD 420 was officially notified three weeks ago that the district, student sub-groups and all individual school buildings made AYP for the 2008-09 school year. It was first reported in August that Students with Disabilities did not make AYP in Reading. This was reviewed by the Kansas Department of Education and corrected to show that USD 420 did meet the Adequate Yearly Progress requirements and criteria for 2008-09. Congratulations to all teachers, staff, students and parents on their hard work.
Conferences Well Attended
We would like to thank those parents who attended conferences and met with teachers about how their students are performing in class. It’s very important to have communication between home and school and working together to accomplish what is best for each student in USD 420.
Weather Information
Whenever weather conditions are such that classes or activities may not be held or busses might not run, students and parents should listen to the following media outlets:
WIBW TV Channel 13, WIBW 580 AM Radio, KTKA TV Channel 49, KSNT TV Channel 27, 94 Country Radio and 106.9 FM Radio. We will also use the School Reach system for cancellations and have information on the district web site at www.usd420.org
Please make sure the school offices have your current contact phone numbers on file.
Lunch Cards
USD 420 has made some changes effective November 1 on lunch cards and paying for meals. Please look at information in the high school and middle school sections of this newsletter.
If parents are interested in having the option of students paying for al a carte items with their lunch cards, we must have a parent permission form on file at the middle school or high school office. No student will be allowed to use their lunch cards for a la carte items if they do not have a permission form on file. Also, if there are no funds in the students lunch account they will not be able to charge for a la carte items.
