Kaw Valley USD 321 celebrates Kristy Dyche, Board Clerk today!!
This year, KASB is excited to introduce Board Clerk Appreciation Day on Jan. 28! Board clerks play a vital role in keeping districts running smoothly, supporting board operations and ensuring things stay organized.
Board clerks are often the behind-the-scenes anchors of a district — keeping records accurate, supporting board operations, preparing meeting materials and ensuring everything runs smoothly from month to month. Their organization, expertise and steady leadership make a tremendous difference for local boards and school communities.
Thank you for all you do, Kristy!

SMJSHS ask that all community members refrain from parking on the west side of the school. During winter months we park buses on that side to plug in the diesel engines. Those bus routes run activities through the evening and need to be able to park down the lane when they arrive back to the school. Thank you for understanding and accommodating.
