There were a variety of guest speakers during the classroom portion of driver’s ed, including Justin Ricketts from Glavan Ford, TJ from KansasLand, and Trooper Tod from the Kansas Highway Patrol. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with our class!
Students spent roughly 20 hours learning about best driving practices and talking through real life scenarios.
A HUGE thank you to Mrs. Denise Beutler for working into retirement to assist with the driver’s ed classroom sessions! Mrs. Beutler is a wellspring of knowledge and care.
Students are on the road until June 19th. Congratulations, drivers, for this meaningful step toward adulthood! #Celebrate379
















USD 379 Families,
Last night’s rain has compromised the basement area at Garfield Elementary, which is also a shelter in the event of inclement weather. We don’t normally close school based on forecasts, as we feel our students and staff are very safe in all of our buildings. However, in this case, we would need to transport students to other buildings, which is impractical and unsafe. We also utilize the same buses within multiple buildings for after-school transportation, which makes dismissing just Garfield impractical.
Because of this, USD 379 will have a 1 pm dismissal today.
Lunch will be served as usual. All after-school sports practices and evening activities, including Project LEAD, have also been canceled. No afternoon preschool. Please call the school with any changes to your child’s after-school schedule.




Think about preparing a meal for 300+ people with a smile on your face. Now, do it every day for 9 months!
Thank you to our food service staff for the dedication and pride you bring to your work every single day. We appreciate you! #Celebrate379

Do you work in an agriculture, construction & design, or architecture business and can help provide real-world connections for students while getting paid at the same time? PartnerEd might be the program for you! #Celebrate379
Every day, they are the first smile our students see in the morning and the last friendly face before they head home. They do so much more than drive a route—they create a safe, welcoming space where students feel seen, supported, and cared for.
What do you appreciate most about your child's bus driver? Include their name and reason in your response as a thank you for everything they do for our kids! #Celebrate379


They are often the first friendly face you see and the steady voice on the other end of the phone. Behind the scenes, they keep our schools running smoothly—answering questions, solving problems, supporting staff, and caring for our students and families in ways that often go unseen.
To our USD 379 secretaries: thank you for everything you do. Our schools are better because of you! #Celebrate379
