Parents and students 4-17-2020. We are making some small changes to our food service deliveries. Hopefully, these changes will make receiving your meals more convenient and keep everyone safer. Effective Monday April 20th we will deliver meals twice a week (Mondays and Tuesdays) instead of 4 days a week. Monday routes will remain the same, but, will deliver a full week of meals (5 breakfast and 5 lunch) to the bus stops which will eliminate the need to have a meal delivery on Thursday. Tuesday bus routes will also remain the same and those kids will also receive a full week of meals and not have a delivery on Friday. Car-line will still run on Wednesdays at JES from 11 am to noon. In conclusion, beginning the week of April 20th there will be NO Thursday or Friday bus deliveries for the remainder of the school year.
We continue to honor the Class of 2020 Jayhawks with our senior salutes. Congratulations senior Courtney Phillis!

Parents and Students 4-8-2020. We need your help to keep our kids safe and slow down the spread of COVID-19. Most of you are doing an awesome job of staying at home so we can get back to normalcy quicker. Some of you still believe this will not impact your life or a loved one even if you are a carrier of the virus. USD 346 has been working closely with the Linn County Sheriffs office to report any student gatherings that are not a part of the stay home order. Attached you will find overview of the Kansas Stay Home order, please take heed to these guidelines written by our Health officials. We are blessed to live in a community where Law Enforcement, Health Officials and Schools work closely with one another to keep families safe.

Thanks to all of you for your efforts this week. I am very proud of our staff for their work. I am very proud of the students who rolled up their sleeves and got to work, and very thankful to all of our parents and patrons for your patience.

Parents and students 4-3-2020. This week we fed over 4000 meals to the children of our district. Teachers have rolled out learning for your students and we are desperately trying to find a "new normal" for school. As for food service about 3 to 5 families a day who "missed the bus". If you know you are not going to be present to get your meals please call the school and cancel your order for that day. We expect your child to be at the bus stop on time and should not have to call or honk the horn before they come out of the house. Educationally, we expect all students to participate in the continuous learning opportunities offered by the district to the fullest extent possible, without placing additional burdens and hardships on our families. If you have trouble with connectivity or understanding assignments please email or call our staff and we will gladly assist students and families overcome barriers and obstacles. On the lighter side, one student recently asked me, "do you really expect us to do our assignments?" My answer, "only if you want to pass your class and graduate".
Attention high school & junior high parents and guardians. Please read this message at the following link from JLHS yearbook staff.
