USD 489
Dear Parents/Guardians/Community Members,
The USD 489 Board of Education voted to amend the current academic calendar at the December 12th board meeting and work session. The early release day originally scheduled for February 1st has been changed to February 8th.
USD 489 apologizes for any scheduling inconveniences this change may cause our families. On February 8th Hays will be hosting Randy Sprick. He is a nationally renowned speaker that tours the country educating school districts on developing safe and civil schools. Mr. Sprick will speak with district and regional staff on that date in an effort to kick-start the district’s research-based positive behavior support strategies that will be implemented over the next several years. As Mr. Sprick is attending another event in Western Kansas on February 9th, the district will see cost-savings for him to travel to our location.
USD 489 understands that much planning goes into caring for your children after school. The district appreciates your flexibility and assistance in this rare opportunity to encouraging positive behavior among our students in USD 489.
