Message from Principal Bivens
Happy Fall!
We are looking forward to seeing parents/guardians soon for Parent-Teacher Conferences. If you still need to sign-up, please call the office at 785-379-5910 and we would be happy to assist you.
I also want to give a HUGE SHOUTOUT to 1st grade teacher, Mr. Eckelberry. He was named Elementary Teacher of the Year for USD 450 for the 23/24 school year. We are so proud of you, Mr. Eckelberry!
Please reach out if you have any questions and/or clarifications as we head into our second quarter of school!
Proudly Serving as YOUR Principal!

PTO Pie Pick-Up
If you ordered pies, pick-up will be Saturday, October 21st in front of the school
Last names A-K will pick up from 11:00am – 12:00pm and last names L-Z will pick up from 12:00pm – 1:00pm
You will pick-up all the pies on your student’s order form and distribute them yourselves. Order forms will be coming back home next week. The pies come in frozen and we do not have room to store pies, so please make sure you or someone on your behalf is able to come pick up. You will want to bring a large box, laundry basket, etc. to carry your pies.
The car line will form heading south to north in front of the school,
Please reach out to tnpto@usd450.net with any questions.

Parent-Teacher Conferences
Woot Woot Wagon Donations Needed!
Ms. Bivens and Mrs. Cress LOVE to celebrate our amazing teachers and staff members with the WOOT WOOT Wagon. Normally, Ms. Bivens, Mrs. Cress, &/or PTO stock the WOOT WOOT Wagon, but they would love help! Donations in any amount of canned soda, individual bagged chips, bottled water, &/or various types of candy (or anything you think our teachers/staff would like) would be so very appreciated. Please drop-off your donations in the office to Ms. Jordan, Ms. Courtney, &/or Ms. Regena Monday-Friday 8am-4pm. Call the office at 785-379-5910 with questions. THANK YOU!!!
