Students in Mrs. Shields' class built their own “Robot Fingers” to explore how muscles, tendons, bones, and joints work together to help our bodies move. By pulling a string that represented a tendon, they watched their model fingers bend at the joints, just like real fingers do!










Congratulations to our Week 2 4th grade Perfect Attendance Winners. This week we had forty-five 4th graders with perfect attendance!

After learning about matter and its properties, students in Mrs. Brimm's class conducted an experiment on how to change a dull penny to shiny. We heard a lot of "I'm doing this experiment at home!"

** UPDATED ** Planning ahead just got a little easier.
We're excited to introduce our new USD 503 • 2026-27 District Vacation Planner. A quick-reference guide designed to help families plan vacations, appointments, and other activities throughout the school year.
The planner highlights extended weekends, holiday breaks, staff development days, and other key opportunities to schedule time away while helping students maximize their time in the classroom.
We encourage you to save this graphic and refer to it throughout the year as you make plans for your family.

Due to recent Kansas law, school districts and educators must limit social media to one-way communication with students. Since we can’t always know if we’re communicating with a student, we are no longer able to respond to direct messages or comment-based conversations on our social media pages.
It’s important to us to provide support when needed.
Please contact your student’s school if you need assistance.
