A student's success begins in the home.

Please arrive to school between 7:30 and 8:00. Make every effort to see that your children arrive at school on time and have a good beginning to their school day. When a student comes to school late, it disrupts their learning AND disrupts the learning and interferes with the rights of other students in their class.

Inclement Weather Procedures – When a decision can be made the preceding night, the district will attempt to make an announcement by 10:00 p.m.  In most cases, a decision won’t be made until morning.  The goal is to make a decision by 6:00 a.m. if schools are closed.  Tune into area radio and television stations for frequent school closing announcements.  Web sites are another resource (www.usd497.org).  Schools are not able to provide care for children who arrive when buildings are closed.  Schools will contact parents to pick up their children.  Parents should make prior arrangements for supervision of their children.  This is another important reason to have accurate telephone numbers and emergency contact information on file.
