🚨 WE NEED YOUR HELP! 🚨
Parents, we are asking for your help in filling out the Parent Needs Survey for our ACES After School Program reapplication. This federally funded program is highly competitive, and your feedback is crucial in helping us continue offering this amazing opportunity for our students!
One exciting addition we are looking to pursue is Esports to increase attendance in the older grades. If you're unfamiliar with Esports, take a moment to watch this 2-minute video showcasing a successful Esports program in a 21st CCLC program just like ours! 🎮💻
Did you know that CVHS students have already received Esports scholarships to CCC to compete at the collegiate level? This is a growing opportunity for students, and we’d love to bring it to ACES!
📢 Please take a few minutes to complete the survey and help us keep this vital program thriving for our kids and community! Thank you for your support! #ACESAfterSchool

This is for Senior KSHSAA winter participants including Basketball, Wrestling, Band, Choir, Cheer, KAY, Student Council and Scholars Bowl.

School will be back in session, on site, tomorrow, Fri., Feb 21. Thank you to our families, staff and students for your flexibility and support as we worked together to navigate multiple days of inclement weather. Please contact the school office tomorrow if you need assistance.

Sports and Activity Schedule Updates as of Thursday, Feb 20.

The basketball games scheduled for Thursday, Feb 20 at Riverton have been cancelled due to inclement weather and will NOT be rescheduled.

Due to ongoing weather conditions, Thursday, February 20, 2025, will be a Professional Development Day, and there will be no school for students. Please keep devices charged in case remote learning is needed on Friday, though our plan is to return on-site. Stay safe and warm!

Select members of the 5th and 6th grade band participated in the Lebo Waverly Band Festival this past weekend. The bands are split into first and second year bands. They rehearse for several hours and end their day by performing in a concert. There were six schools that participated this year. Students were selected from nominations of their directors.

With the forecast calling for multiple days of inclement weather, we will be using remote learning to avoid possible make up days at the end of the year and to keep students engaged for upcoming state testing. Tuesday, Feb. 18 will be a Remote Learning Day. Wednesday, Feb 19 will be a true Snow Day (NOT a Remote Learning Day) with No School. Stay safe and warm Bullpup Family!
