Did you know that of the 300+ full-time staff members at USD 379, almost 20% are either paraprofessionals or aides? As we celebrate them on Para/Aide Appreciation Day on April 1, you will notice lots of familiar faces. That's because many have been with 379 for a long time! All of them are extensions of our teachers in the classroom and are a big part of why our students show so much growth! #celebrate379

Yesterday, Clay County spoke loudly in support of our schools and our kids.
Voters approved the school bond with an 85% YES VOTE. Out of 14 school bond elections across Kansas last night, Clay County had the HIGHEST PERCENTAGE OF YES VOTES — a powerful statement about how much this community believes in its schools and its kids.
"THANK YOU to the voters of Clay County for the strong support shown in yesterday’s bond election. We are grateful to live in a community that values its schools and supports safe, high-quality learning environments for our students. With the community’s support, we look forward to moving ahead with improvements that will strengthen safety and provide quality spaces for students and staff for years to come."
