Parents,
We are currently training and incorporating new drivers into the routes. This will move some of the buses and drivers around. Bus 20-22 driven by Claire on the Palmer route, will eventually be training Adam Fosse to run this route. Bus 16-14 driven by Cherrie on the Greenleaf/ Barnes route is currently training Suzette Youngeberg to take this route. Bus 20-91 driven by myself on the Linn West route, will be training Cherrie to take this route once she has trained Suzette.
If you have any questions please call me on my cell phone at 785-747-6956

Thankfully it was a false alarm and the building has been cleared by Kansas Gas Service. The students are learning in the classrooms now. Thank you for a quick response by our local workers!
There was a slight gas odor this morning in the main building at Hanover Public Schools. As a precaution, all students are being kept out of the building until Kansas gas service gives the all clear. Thank you for your understanding.

Ladies and gentlemen, this week I will be calling bus riding parents to confirm that their children are riding. I will also be driving the routes to time them, so if you see my big silver van, just know it's me. I won't be driving into your driveways. I'll just be stopping by them so I can get good time hacks. thank you, and I'm looking forward to a great school year.
USD 223 Community,

As we close this teacher appreciation week, I want to take a moment to recognize our teachers at Hanover and Linn Schools for all the hard work, dedication, and care they give to their students, families, and communities! Our teachers at USD 223 are simply amazing at what they do! We are very proud of our schools and their accomplishments which is largely due to the work and dedication of our teachers/staff and family support.
Thank you also to the communities for your support of our schools, teachers and staff! It is only in working together that we can accomplish this tremendous task of educating our youth! Our 2023 state assessment scores and ACT scores are again among the highest in the state and I would expect a 2024 results to be the same!
Congratulations to our seniors on their up coming graduations this Sunday. They are well prepared for post secondary life thanks to their hard work as well as that of our teachers, staff, coaches, families and the support of the respective communities!
A huge thanks to Rahe Land Cattle, Jack's Food Mart, Stacy and Greg Wert, 3H Cattle Company and Bott Cattle Company for donating and sponsoring a wonderful picnic for Linn School. We all appreciate the tasty food that you provided!

I was able to discuss personal hygiene with 3rd and 4th graders this week. Some of the information that was shared through a video as well as discussion was 1. Wash your face at least 2 times a day (when you wake up and before going to bed). 2. Brush your teeth 2 times a day (when you finish eating breakfast or when you wake up and before you go to bed. 3. Take a bath or shower daily - discussion was held on body odor and getting in contact with germs during PE, recess and general school days. 4. Washing hair at least every other day. 5. Brush or comb your hair daily before school 6. Possibly using deodorant or antiperspirant daily if you are at the age where you are starting to notice body odor 7. Wear clean clothes to school every day and make you change your underwear and socks daily. 8. Put dirty clothes in a hamper or basket and wash them at least weekly. 9. Clip your finger and toe nails as they can hold germs in them. 10. Get at least 8 hours of sleep daily. 11. Eat a well balanced meal 3 times a day. 12. Exercise daily 13. Drink at least 6-8 glasses of water a day -this does not include milk or soda. 14. Wash your coats or hoodies that you wear to school at least weekly. 15. If you have an indoor pet, don't let them lay on your clothes as that will make them smell. It was an interesting discussion with the kids!
