🚧 Neosho Rapids and Hartford Families — Important Parking & Drop-Off Info 🚧
Good afternoon!
Late this summer, roadwork began near Hartford Junior/Senior High School to repave the area by our bus drop-off zone and Board Office parking. Due to the concrete cure time, these areas will remain closed until Monday, August 25 in Hartford only.
🔹 No parking or drop-off on the south side or west side of the Hartford school until August 25
🔹 Buses will pick up & drop off on the east (back) side of the building
🔹 Please plan ahead, as the south street is closed and not available for drop-offs or turnarounds
Thanks for your patience as we finish up these improvements!

We’re proud to recognize the hard work, determination, and academic excellence of our students who earned a spot on the Honor Roll this semester.
Now go enjoy a well-earned break! Have a safe, fun, and relaxing summer!
With the promotion ceremony starting at 6:00 PM and concluding before 6:45 PM, I am planning to have 8th Grade Promotion this evening unless the forecast drastically changes or more severe weather comes unexpectedly. I will continue to keep an eye on the forecast, because this is Kansas and we all know the weather can change dramatically minute-to-minute.
If we were to cancel this evening, the Promotion Date would be moved to Tomorrow, Tuesday, May 20th at 6:00 PM.
If you have questions, please let us know.
