USD #346 Student, Parents, and Staff. Today is May 22nd and marks the end of the school year for most students and staff. Over the past several weeks 97% of our students have engaged in our continuous learning program that has allowed those students to receive course credit and for our seniors -- a high school diploma! Disappointingly, that leaves 3% of students who chose not to do any work after constant communication and pleas from the teachers and administration. This is typical data of the regular school year. Students, if you have a parent who insisted that you complete your school work, you are blessed to have that type of support and care at home (you may not understand that yet).
We shared recently that Graduation for the seniors will be July 18th @ 9:30 a.m. at the JLHS football stadium.
Food Service deliveries and carline will remain running for everyone who has been receiving them through June 30th (normal times and locations). If you do NOT wish to receive meals in June, please call our office at 913-795-2247 or email Carla Leavitt at: cleavitt@usd346.org otherwise, we will keep providing meals to your child like we have for the past 9 weeks. You do not need to call if you would like to continue receiving meals at the bus stops or carline. There will be no meal deliveries on Monday, May 25, in observance of Memorial Day. Buses will be rolling again on Tuesday, May 26 and carline will be open Wednesday May 27th.
For everyone- now more than ever, I appreciate supportive parents, hard-working students, and our staff members. It has been rewarding to observe our staff working with your child in alternative ways while displaying patience and care. On behalf of the Board of Education and Staff: we can’t wait until August 13th to see the smiling faces of our students for the 2020-2021 school year.

JLHS Graduation scheduled for July 18 at 9:30 AM. Our hope is that the Governor's Ad Astra Plan has progressed sufficiently for us to hold a traditional graduation ceremony that morning. We also understand that due to the later date, conflicts may arise with graduates expected to report for military commitments. Graduates that may experience scheduling conflicts with the July 18 date are encouraged to contact Shawn Thomas at JLHS.
Parents, if you could please complete the USD 346 Continuous Learning survey for each child at the following link, it would be appreciated.
