Hi families! 🧡
Please remember to have your child’s Pick-Up Pass visible and ready to show at the car rider door. This helps us ensure a safe and smooth dismissal process for all of our students. ⭐️

We celebrated a wonderful USD 204 Convocation Day Thursday to welcome all staff to the 2026-2027 school year!
Our community showed up with goodies, our Hype Squad students cheered loudly as staff entered the auditorium, our Board of Education represented, and many staff were recognized for their accomplishments and other district accolades last year!
We also celebrated that 97 former students are now a part of the district (that's nearly a quarter of our staff!), which is a testament to the great things happening in our schools!

Just because school is out doesn't mean the work stops! Our USD 204 student athletes continue to show up, put in the effort, and get stronger every day through our Summer Weights program!
From building strength and speed to improving endurance and discipline, these athletes are committed to becoming the best versions of themselves in the off season.
We are proud of the dedication and positive attitude these students bring each day and grateful for the dedication of our coaches to continue this program throughout the summer!
