Although we know this will be a very different school year for students, parents and staff, we are excited to get the 2020-21 school year underway by having four learning options. The learning framework is meant to preview these options and answer questions we have been receiving from families. Having small class sizes allows USD 335 to start the school year with all students participating in face-to-face learning. Monday, August 3 is USD 335 Enrollment Day. On that day, families are asked to let the school know whether students are enrolling in on site or our new virtual program. If parents have questions about learning options, please contact Adrianne Walsh, Superintendent, at 364-2194 or adrianne.walsh@jhcobras.net.
