"New School" calls for new tools to communicate and celebrate the great work happening every day at USD 428. In less than a week, our teachers and staff rose to the challenge of re-imagining classroom instruction and implementing a Continous Learning Plan. Education in this uncharted time is truly a partnership between school and home. There is no substitution for classroom instruction, but as a district, it is inspiring to see the creativity, hard work, and dedication exhibited by our staff. From the meticulous work of the maintenance team, the labor of assembling curb-side meals by our food service team, the time of office staff spent answering countless parent/community questions, to the teachers on the front-line trying to narrow-in the exact tools and standards that will best support our students' learning - YOU are making this work!

Together, we will work to provide for our students' emotional health, education, and wellness, all while trying to protect our community.

I hope you enjoy these highlights from across USD 428. Stay well!
