Jayhawk Nation...Once again, our schools are experiencing a surge in Covid-19 cases. There have been numerous positive cases identified in the last two days. Our GREAT staff is working diligently to keep our schools open and safe, but we need your help. Please help us by assessing your students for any symptoms each day and keep them home if they are showing symptoms related to Covid-19. Together, we will get through this!!

Dear Families,
USD 346 has become aware of a troubling post that has been shared widely this week on the social media platform TikTok. The post refers to a threat to school safety “for every school in the USA, even elementary,” on Friday, December 17.
The post appears to be part of a national TikTok trend and did not originate in our school district. We have heard reports from other districts that the same post is circulating in their schools. While we do not believe the threat to be credible, we are closely monitoring the situation and taking it seriously.
Additionally, the district has been in contact with local law enforcement regarding the post.
This situation serves as a good example of why it is important to avoid sharing posts online that refer to school safety threats. Even if they are not credible threats, they can cause a great deal of stress and anxiety for our students, families, and staff. We ask our families to monitor their children’s social media activity and speak with them about proper behavior online.
If you or your child become aware of any potential threat posted to social media or anywhere else, please notify a school staff member or trusted adult right away.
As always, thank you for your partnership as we work to ensure a safe, secure, and positive learning environment for our students.
Sincerely,
Shawn Thomas
Superintendent of Schools
