Meals for Today Lined up and Ready to Load!
April's USD 338 Board of Education Meeting has been moved to April 6th.
A new era of learning begins tomorrow. The Governor's official stay at home order will not affect the current USD 338 plans for supporting our community as we educate our students. With patience and flexibility, lets make the first day a successful one for students and teachers.
Tomorrow is the first day of school! Post your first day pictures on Facebook or Twitter. Teachers and students, we can't wait to celebrate that first day of our new learning system.
New Teacher Pages for Parent Communication
Be patient as our teachers learn how to communicate with their parents in new ways! Each teacher will be posting messages for their parents/guardians on his/her page.
