Awesome to see all these bright faces on their first day of school! Mrs Doebele had them sharing their favorite activities. They are doing a great job!


Just a few reminders before the start of school tomorrow!
1. Everyone is to enter the building through the front doors starting at 7:40. At 7:40 students will be temperature checked, and once cleared, will be given a sticker to indicate they can enter the building. The stickers are to remain visible, and worn throughout the entire day.
2. Any visitors will have to go through the same process. We will try and limit visitors as much as we can to cut down on exposure.
3. Masks are to be worn in the building, and we will social distance when we can.
We are all looking forward to a tremendous year and to getting into a routine again. This will be a team effort that requires flexibility and adaptability. This will be a learning process and we will do whatever we can to move forward and help our students as best we can.
Let's have a great 2020-21 school year. Go Wildcats!

Hello All! We are gearing up to get back to school, we are all ready and excited.
Just a reminder, Enrollment will be August 3 and 4th from 9 am to 4 pm each day.
Thanks !

Parents and Staff,
First, I want to sincerely thank all of you for your patience, support, and willingness to help as we finalize plans for the upcoming school year. As you know, this fall will present some unique challenges that none of us have dealt with, and it will take everyone working together like never before. Our plan is close to completion and we will offer virtual learning to those that are uncomfortable in a traditional school setting. My intent is to have the document to our Board of Education for approval today or tomorrow. Once they are satisfied with the contents, I will post them publicly. The plan is to have this out no later than Monday afternoon.
Our plan will follow national, state, and local guidelines to protect our students and staff as much as possible. Please know that the health and safety of our students and staff will continue to remain our top priority while continuing to provide a quality education to our students. There are many topics and scenarios to discuss and go through in finalizing this document. The contents will continuously evolve throughout the year as information and guidelines change from the State Department of Education, the State of Kansas, Washington County, and the CDC.
At this time, we have decided to move our K-12 student start date to Wednesday, August 19, 2020. The Barnes Pre-School start date will also move to Wednesday, August 19, 2020. Enrollment dates and times will stay the same.
Again, there is an excessive amount of variables to address and we may very well miss something initially. If you have any questions or comments, please contact me directly. I will post any and all pertinent updates to everyone through our district protocols.
I will continue to update you with information as it is finalized.
Thank you,
John Whetzal
Superintendent
