  • 2025-2026 Parent Right to Know

    Printable version of the Parent Right to Know Letter

    Dear Parents and Families,

    This letter is to inform you that USD 383 receives Title I funding and will comply with “Parents Right to Know Information” required by Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) / Public Law Number 114-95. ESSA reauthorizes the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to ensure that every child achieves. ESSA is the nation’s general education law and, as such, has been revised by Congress many times over the years. The previous reauthorization took place in 2001 and was called the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB). 

    Parents may request information regarding the professional qualifications of their child’s/children’s classroom teachers and paraprofessionals including:

    • Whether or not the teacher has met Kansas licensing criteria for the grade levels and subject areas being taught.
    • The baccalaureate degree and any other graduate certification or degree and the field of discipline of both.
    • If services are provided by paraprofessionals, and their qualifications.
    • If the teacher is teaching under an emergency or professional waiver.

    Parents will be contacted by the school if their child(ren) is taught for four or more continuous weeks by a teacher that does not meet the appropriate state certification standards

    All students/families served in school-wide buildings and students/families served in targeted assistance programs must complete a parent/school compact. All parents have the right to request their child’s/children’s state assessment scores, and they have a right to obtain the school and school district state report cards.

    If you have questions or would like to request further information, please feel free to contact your building principal.


    2025-2026 – Accessing District, Building, and School Report Cards

    Printable version of the Accessing District, Building, and School Report Cards Letter

    Dear Caregiver, 

    We want all our families to be informed about how to access building and assessment information. The information below has details about how to access the KSDE Building and District Report Cards, and how to access your child’s individual report card.

    District and Building Report Cards

    One report available to you is the State Report Card. This report is required and prepared by the Kansas State Department of Education. The report provides information concerning student performance on the Kansas Assessment Program (KAP), as well as information on student enrollment, class size averages, and financial expenditures. The Federal School Report Cards can be found on the KSDE website.

    Student Report Cards 

    Student report cards are shared three times a year at the end of each trimester (October conferences, February Conferences, and at the end of the school year). Please contact your student’s school if you have questions about accessing copies of individual report cards.

This is National Pencil’s Day.  This day honors the writing utensil that has done more than just teach millions the alphabet and draw straight lines. It's also helped win wars.  During WWII, pencils were made hollow with graphite on either end. Between the graphite, the makers had stowed maps to aid captured military personnel in their escape to freedom.  These small tools were issued to members of the Royal Airforce and sent to POW camps.  How ingenious!

Today begins Para and Aide Appreciation Week.  Here at MHS we have the BEST paras.  They go out of their way to provide support and help students and teachers.  Make sure you take time to say thank you to the paras in our building.  We will announce the names of our paras a few each day:  Alan Gerth, Andy Cassel, Anita Schmedemann, Bethany Rust, Caden Ruffley, Carla Jones, Carlos Toledo, Cecilia Fisher, Chase Hagemann, Chenisia Rozzelle, Connor Hoffman, and Diana Herrera.

National Honor Society is hosting the annual Prom Shoppe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  This event is for juniors and seniors only.  Prom Shoppe will be open beginning March 30th until April 15th during both lunches.  You must have a ticket to shop.  Tickets may be obtained from your grade level office.

Quote for the day:  “In the spring, I have counted 136 different kinds of weather inside of 24 hours.” -Mark Twain

Lunch Menu:  Pepperoni Pizza, Green Beans, Fresh Veggie Bar, Applesauce, Kiwi, and Chocolate or 1% milk
