What a wonderful day to sketch a picture!

Every Wednesday, Mrs. Mansel’s 7th grade art students add a new drawing to their sketchbooks. Yesterday, a few members of the class took advantage of the beautiful weather and chose to sketch the limestone sign at CCJSHS.

Be sure to attend the spring art show, where you’ll have the opportunity to see all the amazing work our art students have created throughout the year!

On Monday, the district leadership team attended our assigned School Improvement Day, which is part of the required accreditation process for the Kansas State Department of Education. It was a great day of reflection, planning, and learning.

For our district’s action plan, we have chosen to focus on standards alignment. This means our teachers have been — and will continue — dedicating professional development time to mapping out the standards to ensure alignment across grade levels. They are also unpacking standards where data indicates our students are not performing as well, ensuring that our instructional resources fully support the intended learning targets.

The time and effort our district leadership team members invest in supporting our district’s accreditation process are greatly appreciated! Thank you Mrs. Hansford, Mr. Budke, Mr. Carrillo, Mrs. Blaisdell, Mrs. Lauer, Mrs. Matile and Mr. Pena!

**🐾 Good Morning JH Football Parents and Fans! 🐾**
Tonight’s game against **Inman** will **kick off at 6:00 PM**, not 6:30 as listed on the calendar.

**Let’s go DAWGS!! 🏈🔥**

**Good Evening,**
Due to the unfortunate circumstances of injuries within the Northern Heights football program, they will be unable to participate in the scheduled High School JV game on Monday. As a result, there will be no HS JV football game on Monday.

Thank you for your understanding.

Students in eighth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grade participated in the Reality U simulation yesterday. The simulation teaches students about the reality of budgeting, and financial literacy skills. Community members and volunteers from surrounding area businesses were present to help students make financial decisions and guide them through the simulation.
