As we continue our Virtual Spirit Week - It's take it Outside Tuesday. Post a picture of your Outside Scavenger Hunt.


Please join us for our Virtual Spirit Weeks. Each week we will have different challenges posted. We would love for you to post pictures of yourselves participating in our Virtual Spirit Weeks. Today is Make-It-Monday.



We have an update on the Elementary School Pictures that were taken March 4th.
Lifetouch said all spring picture proofs will be sent to schools when they reopen, so that could be in the fall. Lifetouch is closed at this time until further notice.
If you bought a class picture, those are supposed to be sent out to schools within 8 weeks, or maybe longer since the labs are closed. Once they are done, Lifetouch will mail them to schools. We will let you know when they arrive.

Mr. Hasenbank sent this out this morning and we thought it was very fitting. The elementary knows how much we enjoy Dr. Seuss and his rhyming, so we wanted to share it with you.


There will be a special Board of Education Meeting on Tuesday, April 7 @ 7:00 pm. in the Elementary Lunch Room. https://5il.co/ed7k

Mission Valley Summer Ball 2020 Signup
As school is out for the year (traditional setting), we are unable to gather the ball forms that we sent out before spring break. In an attempt to try to figure out the numbers of players/teams I have created a form for signing up. You will need to fill out a new one for EACH player you have. At the very bottom there is a spot where you are welcome to add comments/questions. Please forward this link to others as I want this to hit as many potential players and their families as possible. Thank YOU as we ALL try to figure out this new normal for the time being! You are welcome to contact Jana Phillips 785-256-5300 Jana.Phillips@usd253.net
