Bickerdkye Elementary School's Science Fair will be April 7th - 9th. Information and permission forms have been sent home with interested students. The display supplies offered for purchase through BES are an optional way to get your backboard and subtitles. It is simply more convenient for some people to order through the school, but you are certainly welcome to get those materials on your own. Project supplies are the responsibility of the participant(s). If you need guidance in finding supplies or equipment, please contact Mrs. Krug at skrug@usd407.org or call 785-483-6066. If ordering displays through BES, please return your form as soon as possible. See you at the fair!

Attention High School Parents, Here is an update about RHS Parent-Teacher Conferences for this Thursday, February 25, 2021. Please note that RHS has switched conferences from ZOOM to in-person, from 3:45-7:45 PM. Conferences will take place in the RHS big gym, and parents will have the opportunity to meet with teachers at their convenience all in one location. If you prefer to still attend via ZOOM, please email the teacher you would like to meet with to set up a virtual conference. For in-person conferences, you will not need a scheduled appointment and can meet with teachers as they are available. Teachers will have their computers with them in the gym, and can seamlessly switch from in-person to ZOOM and back again throughout the evening. RHS feels it is important to provide the in-person and ZOOM options, so as to check in about your student's academic and social-emotional progress heading into the spring and preparing for next year. Reminder: Masks are required at all times in the gymnasium. Social-Distancing measures will also remain in place as per our usual USD 407 policy and protocol. Your cooperation is appreciated as USD 407 works to keep everyone safe in our school and community! Thanks for your continued support of our school. Go Broncos!

If you're considering preschool for your 4-year old for the 2021-2022 school year, we encourage you to apply to Simpson Elementary's program. The application is due April 30. Apply at your earliest convenience at: https://forms.gle/XrzQQE1KnvVgVyaa6
