SENIOR SURVEY by Kansas State Department of Education-
In response to the closing of school buildings due to the pandemic, the Kansas State Department of Education (KSDE) has partnered with a group of senior high school students across the state to discuss ways in which the Class of 2020 could be honored during the month of May.
While high schools across the state are recognizing their graduates in a variety of ways, this group of senior leaders wanted to identify a special statewide program or initiative organized by members of the Class of 2020 to honor their senior year, which was cut short. Ideas have ranged from a statewide social media campaign to some sort of civic engagement activity that all seniors would take part in on a specified day.
Please answer the survey below by adding your best idea or ideas on how that could happen while also adhering to state and/or county restrictions due to COVID-19. Your idea might be the one selected for a statewide recognition of the Class of 2020.

We appreciate you taking time to share your idea(s) and to honor your fellow graduating seniors in Kansas.
Please submit your response by Friday, May 8th, at noon.
Thank you,

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!
