Chat & Chew Books & Dates
Books can be found in our Rising Star Library, in most teacher’s classrooms, at the Johnson County Library & of course on Amazon or in brick & mortar stores. If you choose to purchase the books for your student, please consider donating them at the end of the year so that we can have more copies available to lend out each year. Donated books can be given to Mr. Wilson in the library. Thank you!
*Chat & Chew Party: Those students who have read & attended at least 3 Chat & Chew book sessions are invited to bring their lunch & their favorite book to share with their peers.
(Chat & Chew is held in the classroom during the student’s lunch period)
Notice of Upcoming Network Outage
During the evening of November 19th, beginning at approximately 5:00pm and lasting up to 4 hours, the ICT team (technology) will be performing network maintenance that will result in an outage for all network services. This outage will impact access to all district network services including items such as student Internet access, all access to Skyward, and other network dependent resources.
Because November 19th falls during the district's Thanksgiving break, impact to district students and employees should be minimal. However, it is important to note that these services will be unavailable during this maintenance window.
