USD 504 Thanksgiving Meal Notice
Unfortunately, due to food supply chain issues, USD 504 will NOT be able to invite & serve Thanksgiving meals to parents & families as we have traditionally done in the past. Fortunately, the USD 504 Food Service Director ordered early, thus guaranteeing 80 pounds of turkey this year (normally, we get 120+ pounds of turkey). The traditional Thanksgiving meal will be served to students & staff only. SVCA will serve on Tuesday, November 30th. This is disappointing and we apologize for the inconvenience. Happy Thanksgiving!
The School Play, scheduled for November 12th and 13th, has been postponed to November 22nd and 23rd.

STREAMING BASKETBALL GAMES: We plan on providing streaming services for all of our JH and HS basketball games. For our home games, this will be provided for both gyms.
The streaming links will be available in two locations:
1) In "Events" on both our phone app and website (note this is on the OJSHS building tab)
2) Live feed will also post the links on both Facebook and Twitter (again through the OJSHS option)
These services will be provided for all games, home and away. A second gym coverage for away games cannot be guaranteed.
We would like to clear up some misinformation that may be going around. As a district, it is not our intention to close schools. However, as cases of COVID-19 continue to rise, we would be doing your students a disservice if we were not ready for the possibility of having to shift to remote learning. We have asked our teachers to be ready in the case we would have to transition to remote learning. Please know if this happens, it will not be our choice. We are all aware that students learn best in person rather than in a remote situation. This is the same message we have given our teachers since August. We will continue to release information as we have it. As of now, this is all the information we have.
Friday's (10/9) football game with Marmaton Valley has been cancelled due to low numbers on their part. The next home game will be Friday, October 23rd with Cedarvale/Dexter.

What a great idea for our students.
Yesterday, the Kansas State High School Activities Association (KSHSAA) cancelled all spring activities and festivals for the remainder of the 2019-2020 school year.
The removal of those items from the school calendar DOES NOT imply that events currently remaining on the calendar have not or will not be cancelled. Many events will need to be cancelled and those cancellations come from different sources.
We realize that this is a difficult time for everyone. Please be patient as decisions are made by the many organizations and entities involved.
USD 504 Special Announcement In response to COVID-19 safety measures, Gov.
