Welcome, Tracy Ensminger!


Student Physicals for 25-26 School Year
Don't forget that you can get your student's athletic physicals before school starts. Physical forms are available in the district office. Please use our forms since the packet also contains the other athletic information we need signed. When completed, you can drop the physicals off at the district office. If closed, there is a drop box in the door. You don't have to wait until school starts!

📢 Enrollment Fee Correction
We would like to issue a correction regarding the enrollment information that was recently sent out.
There was a typo in the section about the Activity Fee. It incorrectly stated that the $10 Activity Fee applies only to students in grades 7–12. The correct information is:
🔹 The $10 Activity Fee applies to all students enrolling in grades K–12.
We apologize for any confusion this may have caused and appreciate your understanding.
Thank you!

Today marks my first official day as the Superintendent of USD 284, and I couldn't be more excited to begin this journey with you all.
It is truly an honor to join a district with such a strong sense of pride, community, and commitment to student success. USD 284 is a special place - one where people genuinely care about their schools, their neighbors, and the future of their children. I am thrilled to now be a part of that.
As I begin this new chapter, one of my top priorities is to connect with as many members of our community as possible. Whether you're a student, parent, staff member, or community partner, I want to hear from you. I believe the best way to understand and serve this district is by building relationships, listening to your experiences, and working together to ensure the success of our students!
Please don’t hesitate to stop by the district office to say hello - I’d love to meet you! Whether you have a question or just want to introduce yourself, my door is always open. I am looking forward to being present in our schools, attending community events, and working side-by-side with all of you to support our students and help them thrive.
Thank you for the warm welcome I've already received. I'm grateful for the opportunity to serve as your superintendent and excited for all we will accomplish together.
Sincerely,
Aron Dody
