Due to Kansas’ new cell phone law, district-sponsored communication with students will take place through email and ParentSquare.

Please make sure both you and your junior high or high school student have downloaded the ParentSquare app. This will be the primary way many of our coaches and sponsors communicate with students this year.

Please contact the school office if you have questions or need help accessing ParentSquare.

📅 We’re jumping on this vacation planner bandwagon to help families plan ahead!

We know family trips, appointments, and special time together can require advance planning. ❤️👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Below are several dates during the school year that may be great opportunities to schedule travel, extended family time, or a much-needed break.

🏫 Regular attendance makes a difference in student learning and consistent routines. A few missed days can make it harder for students to keep up, especially when absences begin to add up. Planning ahead helps our students stay present, prepared, and ready to learn! 🎒✏️

Leave your Family’s mark on Jaguar History

We are updating the league, regional and substate boards displayed in our new gym and we are inviting Jaguar Families to help make it happen.

We are seeking at least 10 Jaguar Family Sponsorships to support this project. Each sponsorship of $1000 will receive a place on our Jaguar Family Sponsor boards. Our Family Sponsors will be displayed alongside our updated boards in the new gym, representing your Family name for the life of the display.

This is an opportunity to support past and present accomplishments, celebrate the history of our programs, and place your family’s name in the gym for generations.

To reserve a sponsorship, please contact Mr. Whitson at lwhitson@usd252.org or 620-392-5515.

We know not everyone may be on Facebook! Please help us make sure no interested families are left out of this opportunity by sharing it with students, alumni, and other longtime supporters of Hartford and Neosho Rapids. A quick phone call or conversation may help us reach someone who would be proud to have their family name represented.

Just in small conversations, the campaign is already gaining momentum! We have three of our first 10 sponsorships already spoken for! Sponsorships will be reserved on a first-come, first-served basis!

Reminder 😄 Parent-Teacher Conferences are TONIGHT until 7:00 PM. Please swing by and see us. Truly. Seriously. Our teachers start getting a little dramatic when no one shows up, and it can get real awkward real fast! We’d love to chat with you your kid. Come on in!
