For anyone planning to attend Middle School or High School volleyball camp on the week of August 3 - 7, please make sure that you attend weights and conditioning next week as you need five days of conditioning in order to do anything sports specific! This is a KSHSAA dictated requirement. This is only if you have not been attending weights & conditioning this summer.
Attention all incoming 6th-8th grade boys interested in basketball. Information on the flyer for summer basketball camp!
I am sure all of #GorillaCountry has many questions. Don't forget we hope to answer some of those questions on SUNDAY, July 26th with a FACEBOOK LIVE event starting at 7pm. Hope you can join us, tell a friend! #GorillaPride #ComingBackStrong2020
Hope everyone is gearing up for the start of school. With the KS BOE NOT upholding the Governor's executive order, school will start before Labor Day.

Yesterday Gov. Kelly announced the delay of opening schools until after Labor Day. This will come with many questions. We don't have the answers at this point. Please give us time to digest the news and adjust our timelines/plans. Mark your calendars for July 26th for our Facebook Live event starting at 7pm . We miss our Gorilla students and can't wait to have them here. #Patient&PositiveTogether

While we still have a lot of work to do, the schools in Dickinson County have been working together, along with the Dickinson County Health Department on a plan to re-open the schools within Dickinson County. We are planning on resuming in person operations in August including a plan to have the students in the buildings as scheduled. In person, virtual, and/or blended learning opportunities may be available to students as plans are developed.
We are currently evaluating our processes, procedures, policies and facilities to see what adjustments we need to make to provide a safe environment for our students, teachers, staff and parents. Please understand that we are still waiting on guidelines from the Kansas State Department of Education before we can finalize our plans. This information will not be available until mid-July. Once these guidelines are released, we will have a better understanding of the expectations from the Kansas Board of Education and we will finalize our plans.
Online enrollment is underway at USD 393 for the 2020-21 school year. Please follow the link below to complete the registration. Looking forward to seeing our students! #GorillaPride
