A brief Homecoming in Review: Don Scheibler, Chief of Police stated it went well having homecoming the same weekend as Ft. Hays Octoberfest/Homecoming. The three parades were wrapped up in 2 weekends which was helpful for staffing of the Police Department. Parade route was shortened for HHS parade and a little bottle-necked at the end but overall went well. Some of the disadvantages were Businesses felt they were not as busy because of too much activity all in one weekend. Dinner reservations were limited and long waits at restaurants, as well as shortage of facilities for alumni reunions were a couple of the draw backs.

Part I Focus What are the goals, outcomes, or target areas your school is working toward? (Not necessarily your NCA goals)
During the 2016-2017 school year, the Lincoln staff continued to focus on the target areas of reading, writing, and math. The target area goals for Lincoln are:
All students will improve reading skills across the curriculum. All students will improve writing skills across the curriculum. All students will improve mathematics skills across the curriculum.
An added goal for the year focused on technology: All students will develop skills to incorporate technology in all subject areas. All staff will develop skills to enhance the learning of their students by incorporating technology in lessons in all subject areas.
USD 489’s elementary schools share a common mission statement. Our Mission statement is:
Our School educates all students to be life-long learners capable of meeting the challenges of an ever- changing world.
In an effort to better coordinate the school improvement process throughout USD 489, the elementary schools are collaborating and sharing materials and ideas. We believe this collaboration will result in a better education for all of our students and provide our staff with added resources.
Part II Evaluation What progress is being made toward the target areas and what should be the target areas for next year?
The Lincoln Elementary School staff believes we have strong, academic oriented school improvement goals. We believe that if the children have a strong background in these basic areas, they will be able to accomplish the requirements in all other subject areas. Teachers at Lincoln taught utilizing the College and Career Ready Standards. Lincoln students participated in the Kansas Assessment testing as well as district testing. We will be analyzing the data from state and local testing to help us plan instruction for our students and work on areas that we need to strengthen.
Lincoln teachers utilized the STAR testing program, administering the tests to their students three times during the school year. The reports that were generated by this program were thorough and provided the information we needed to assist students that were behind on specific skills. We utilized the STAR results to assist students in the areas that they were not on grade level. We will continue with the implementation of the MTSS (Multi-Tiered System of Supports) program for math. Each grade level had a scheduled time for MTSS five days a week. We believe that MTSS will help to identify students in need and the specific skills that we need to target to help them become proficient in all areas of math. Lincoln implemented the newly adopted Reading and Writing Workshop programs as well.
Lincoln staff members attended district inservices and grade level PLC meetings throughout the year. Teachers were provided several opportunities to collaborate with their district colleagues on curriculum, testing, technology, and teaching issues during inservice days and early release days. Teachers attended the iPad Camp in Manhattan to gain valuable information about the utilization of iPads in the classroom and its use as an instructional/learning tool. Lincoln was fortunate to have received grants to purchase two 3D Printers and Robotics equipment. The students began learning the basics of 3D printing and robotics. Under the direction of Mrs. Monica Dreiling and Mrs. Regina Hammerschmidt, ten Lincoln 5th graders participated in the annual FHSU Lego Robotics Competition. Students participated in Coding activities throughout the year as well. We are implementing STEM activities in our computer classes as well to enhance our students’ knowledge in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. This summer, teachers and staff will have several opportunities to participate in district offered technology classes. It is our hope that many teachers will take advantage of these free classes.
ENROLLMENT
Lincoln Elementary School enrollment at the end of the 2016-2017 school year consisted of 258 students K- 5. 70% of the Lincoln students qualified for the Free and Reduced Lunch Program. During the 2016-2017 school year, we had 11 new students arrive after the start of the school year and had 12 students move during the year.

Part III Comments What would you like the Board of Education to know about your school?
We have had an awesome year of educating students at Lincoln Elementary School. Staff, parents and students worked well together, striving to provide a safe environment that was conducive to the learning process. Every day, we worked towards our mission to provide learning experiences that “link learning to life.” The Lincoln staff members are caring and dedicated professionals and strive to meet the individual needs of each child.
Lincoln Elementary School will see a large turnover in staff at the end of this school year. We have 3 classroom teachers, 1 Art teacher, 1 Nurse, 1 Librarian, 1 Speech Language Pathologist, 4 Paras, 1 Custodian, and 1 Cook that are retiring, resigning, or transferring from their positions. We have all the certified positions and the Custodian in place for the new school year. We are very excited about the new staff members and the knowledge and skills that they are bringing to Lincoln.
The Site Council and the Home and School Association have outlined goals for improvements to Lincoln Elementary School. The Site Council, Home and School Association, and the staff would like to continue building improvements, both on the inside and outside. The Lincoln Elementary School playground improvements were completed in August of 2016 through a $100,000 donation from the company, Reading for Education and $30,000 from the Lincoln Home and School Association. The playground is awesome and is not only a benefit for the school, but for the community as well. The Home and School Association helped with the remodeling of the computer lab by helping with the purchase of new tables and chairs. The Association will continue to provide $100 to teachers in each classroom, special education, and food service. This allows teachers to purchase additional materials for their classrooms and the cafeteria. The Home and School provided the funds for the Hays Arts Council Programs, Field Trips, Accelerated Reader Breakfasts and Awards.. The Home and School Association has been very active this school year.
At the last Home and School meeting for the year parents expressed the following concerns: 1. Concerns about the large class sizes at all elementary levels. 2. Concerns about safety and easy access to the building through the front door. 3. Concerns about the state budget deficits and how it will affect the students and staff of Lincoln Elementary School and USD 489.
The Site Council would like to share with you the maintenance items that we feel need to be completed at Lincoln within the next few years. At Lincoln, we would like to see updates in a variety of areas – lowering ceilings, improved lighting, replacement of carpet, desks and chairs, resurfacing of the playground, reseeding the lawns, general landscaping, and safety improvements. We would like to see the district continue to install the card reader door locks at Lincoln. We currently have two of these door locks and feel they provide an extra level of security. We understand the budget situation, but wanted you to be aware of the items that we feel are important to the learning environment, the safety of our students, and the appearance of Lincoln Elementary. The Site Council realizes the financial situation of the district and understands the need to completely and thoroughly evaluate each project. We want to express our appreciation to the Board of Education for dealing with this task.
The last item the School Site Council would like to comment on is the enrollment throughout the district. We hope that the district will continue to strive to keep all elementary school class sizes at a reasonable size throughout the schools. We believe small class size contributes much to the success of every student. Small class sizes provide the opportunity for more individualized instruction and attention. Lincoln Elementary School is a top-notch school with a strong and knowledgeable staff, but if we allow class sizes to continue to grow, it will be more difficult to meet the educational and emotional needs of each student. It is important that the district make it a priority to keep class sizes small. The Home and School would also like to see the district add Transitional classrooms to the elementary schools. These classrooms would help students that are not ready to make the move from Pre-School to Kindergarten or from Kindergarten to First Grade. We believe this would be a tremendous benefit to students. We know that these items are difficult to accomplish with the current budget constraints and space issues throughout the district, but we would like the district to consider these items for the future. We want the School Board to know that we fully support the district’s work towards the passing of a Bond Issue to make major educational improvements that will impact every student in the district.
The Lincoln Elementary School Site Council and Home and School Association are dedicated to Lincoln Elementary School and its students. We want to give our children the best education possible by providing educational opportunities in a building that is safe, comfortable, and welcoming to all. The Lincoln Site Council would like to take this opportunity to thank the Board of Education for their dedication to the students, parents, and staff of Lincoln Elementary School. With your help, we can continue providing the children of Hays a quality education in a quality building with a quality staff.
Site Council Report USD 489, Hays Kansas June 2017
School: Kathryn O’Loughlin McCarthy Elementary School Date: June 1, 2017
Members of the Council:
Vicki Gile, Principal Travis Rickford, Parent, Grades K-2 Jessica Luck, Parent, Grades K-2 Stacy Jones, Parent, Grades 3-5 Jeff Flavin, Parent, Grades 3-5 Robert Kuehl, Business Rep. Nicole Cullison, Teacher, Grades K-2 Amy Wasinger, Teacher, Grades 3-5 Brianna Day, PTA Co-Chair Hayley Bieker, PTA Co-Chair
Part I Focus What are the goals, outcomes, or target areas your school is working toward? (Not necessarily your NCA goals)
1. The O’Loughlin staff continued to focus on the academic target areas of reading, writing, and math: All students will improve their reading, writing, and mathematics skills across the curriculum. The Reader’s and Writer’s Workshops and the Go Math curriculum will be fully implemented to support this goal.
2. Another goal for the year focused on technology: Students will become proficient in utilizing the use of I- pads to enhance their learning. Staff will incorporate I-pads into their instruction to enhance instruction and communication with parents.
3. A Student Intervention Team will also be reorganized to advance the MTSS process at O’Loughlin: A building protocol will be developed and implemented to address the academic and behavioral issues of identified students.
Part II Evaluation What progress is being made toward the target areas and what should be the target areas for next year?
1. Academic Progress: STAR testing was administered to all students to determine proficiency and progress in the areas of math and reading. The Teacher College running records were also utilized to determine reading levels of students. Go Math provided pre / post assessments to identify student growth in math. Reports generated through these programs provide data to help identify areas of concern for individual students, classrooms, or the building. Teacher’s attended district and building level PLC meetings to collaborate with colleagues about concerns or issues related to the Reader’s and Writer’s Workshops. District level professional development was also provided to increase knowledge and effective implementation of the Go Math curriculum. The Staff believes we have strong academic programs and instruction occurring at O’Loughlin. We plan to continue efforts to effectively implement the district approved curriculums and programs to meet all student needs and concerns. Teachers will utilize the College and Career Ready Standards and will analyze, more effectively, formal and informal data to help us plan instruction for all levels of student performance and achievement.
2. Technology Integration: The Technology Lab was established for the One-to-one I-pad initiative in the district. The lab incorporated student keyboarding programs, coding programs, Lexia and other student-driven practice and learning programs. Teachers incorporated many instructional and communication applications in their instruction and professional practice. They frequently attended the district level professional development opportunities organized to teach and enhance their practices. They were also able to collaborate with colleagues and Marie Henderson to further individualize their technological growth and implementation. It is our desire to strengthen and focus the use of technology in our school to enhance instruction, communication, and student learning. We will continue to attend the professional development opportunities offered and collaboration with peers.
3. Student Intervention: The SIT team was reorganized and comprised of the principal, counselor, school psychologist, and the behavior specialists when needed. Individual classroom teachers and the Reading Recovery teacher attended monthly meetings to discuss and analyze identified students. The focus was centered on academic and/or behavior concerns of students. Strategies were recommended and documented as part of the MTSS tiered system of supports. Progress was monitored and led to additional referrals for students not showing adequate growth. This will be an ongoing focus for our school. We will strengthen our system of intervention more efficiently and effectively by monitoring student growth and using that data to determine instructional or behavioral plans for individual students. Additional discussions will be held during the grade level PLC meetings to analyze data and determine the strengths and areas of concerns about individual students, curriculum, or instructional practices. Also, the CHAMPS approach to classroom and behavior management (Randy Sprick’s Safe and Civil Schools Program) will continue to be explored and developed to further enhance the academic and social/emotional growth of students.
Part III Comments What would you like the Board of Education to know about your school?
With the addition of a new principal, new staff, and new curriculum, this has been a year of exploration and growth for O’Loughlin Elementary School. The staff continues to be the most dedicated and hard- working staff that can be found anywhere. Their commitment to maintain the tradition of excellence and provide the best equational programs for all students is phenomenal and highly valued. The support system for the students and staff of O’Loughlin is greatly appreciated and positively impacts the operations and goals of our school. The PTA has offered substantial financial support which has allowed us to provide students with additional resources and materials to facilitate learning. This includes additional books added to the resources used for the successful implementation of the Readers’ and Writers’ Workshops. The PTA also provided support through volunteering and organizing fun and engaging activities for students. The support of the District-level Administration and staff at Rockwell, and the Board of Education must also be noted. We appreciate the opportunities to engage with our colleagues and increase our knowledge of curriculum and other educational issues through Professional Development Days and Early Release Days. The I-pad initiative and the new laptops that will be provided to the teachers for the coming year, will also impact our ability to align with the elements and strategies identified as essential to learners in the 21st century. The vision of efficiency and ease when using technology during instruction next year, is exciting and challenging for staff. The O’Loughlin staff is proud of the past year’s accomplishments and look forward to greater successes next year. We thank the ongoing commitment of the entire O’Loughlin “family” to maintain a fun and innovative educational experience for students, while still meeting the needs of all students.

“We believe that all students in Wilson Elementary School can excel in all areas and become life- long enthusiastic, productive learners.”
FOCUS
Wilson Elementary has identified the following areas as targeted goals:
Promote academic success for all students in reading, writing and mathematics. Integrate technology to extend and support student learning in all subjects, and equip students with the technology skills needed to successfully compete in the 21st century workforce. Maintain a quality education for every child in every classroom every day. Class sizes Specials Physical space Assist students in improving behavior by identifying and addressing the root cause and responding appropriately.
Additionally, all of USD 489’s elementary schools share a common mission statement:
Our schools educate all students to be lifelong learners capable of meeting the challenges of an ever-changing world.
EVALUATION
The Wilson Elementary School faculty believes we have strong school improvement goals that will allow students to flourish in all subject areas. The continued implementation of the College and Career Ready Standards is key to this improvement.
Wilson students participated in the Kansas Assessment program in the areas of reading, math and science. USD 489 administers the STAR assessment three times yearly in the areas of reading and math. We will analyze the data from state and local testing to help us make sound instructional decisions.
We have maintained our MTSS (Multi-Tiered System of Supports) Intervention process in both math and reading. Each grade level worked collaboratively to provide an intervention program and time for the students most in need of math intervention time. Grade level teams also worked to find time for individualized reading intervention using the online program Lexia. Wilson still will not qualify for Title I Reading Services, which is a large concern. We continue to learn more impactful interventions for our students and are learning to better analyze our data from Renaissance Place to make decisions about students. The full implementation of the Readers’ and Writers’ Workshops model has provided reading and writing practice that is differentiated by student ability level, creating perhaps the best intervention model.
Wilson faculty members attended district inservices and grade level PLC meetings throughout the year. Teachers collaborated with district colleagues on curriculum, testing, technology and other issues during district inservice days and early release dates. USD 489’s technology instructional specialist will offer many opportunities this summer to increase teachers’ skills in integrating technology into instruction, and it is our hope that many Wilson teachers will take advantage of those opportunities.
Our Building Leadership Team, School Climate Team, and General Education Intervention Team have all worked hard this year trying to address various building and student issues. The BLT continues to monitor our assessments throughout the year and evaluate curriculum and instruction through those reviews. The
“We believe that all students in Wilson Elementary School can excel in all areas and become life- long enthusiastic, productive learners.”
SCT sponsored the “Fall Back” and “Spring Forward” events again this year. The SCT used office referral data and fall student survey results to identify the areas of concern around the building, and adjusted accordingly. Additional playground supervision was added to a 35:1 ratio, before school “walk and talk” was implemented, and additional training for playground supervisors was conducted. USD 489 is participating in a pilot program through KSDE’s TASN network that involves training through Safe & Civil Schools. Additional training will be attended this summer by the WE CARE (Wilson Elementary Committee for the Advancement of Respect and Empathy) team, with rollout of preliminary school-wide strategies aimed at improving student behavior by this fall, and implementation continuing for two years. Part of this process will include utilizing an MTSS approach to behavior intervention as well as academic areas.
COMMENTS
Wilson Elementary is a community of learners, beginning with the incredible support from parents, which results in dedicated students, and the caring committed professionals who strive daily to meet the individual needs of every child. Our guiding question for every decision continues to be “Are we doing what is best for students?”
We will continue our Kindergarten “Smart Start” program again next year. Our previous years of Smart Start have been very successful and we look forward to similar results for 2017-18. Our schedule for those first few days of school will be the same as what we followed in August of this past year.
Wilson has a few staff changes for next year: Jill Hedlund is retiring from kindergarten, and Jeni Weilert will be transferring from Lincoln to fill that vacancy. Lisa Schreck resigned from first grade, and Rebekah Moritz has been hired to teach first grade. Kristen Pfeifer resigned from the half-time third grade position, and Alyssa Dees has been hired to teach third grade half-time. An additional section of fifth grade needs to be added, and Mindi Dreiling will be transferring from Lincoln to teach fifth grade. Tasha Lang will be transferring to Roosevelt for an added functional special education classroom, and Kimberly Simon will be teaching the applied functional curriculum at Wilson. Two lunchroom supervisors will be new, as well as several paraeducator positions.
At the last meeting, our Home and School parents identified a few areas of concern: 1. safety and security of all students in aging buildings without adequate shelter 2. decreased state and federal funding and extreme impacts to what is best for students 3. increasing class sizes and lack of adequate resources to assist students (.5 counselor, .4 nurse) 4. inadequacy and dysfunction of HVAC system
Wilson Elementary’s site council and home and school association thank the Board of Education for its dedication to and continued support of our students. With your help, Wilson Elementary will continue to provide a quality learning experience for every child in every classroom every day.

Lindsay said the district only received one bid for the service next year. Lindsay said Ideal Refuse Removal was the sole bid. Lindsay said the insurance requirements created some confusion as the district’s insurance company gave the district’s liability coverage instead of what USD 489 requires businesses we do business with to carry. Lindsay said an amendment was sent out to the possible bidders to address the issue. Lindsay said the proposed fees for next year are like those that the district paid last year.
Rankin motioned to approve the Ideal Refuse Removal bid according to the cost schedule for the 2017-2018 school year. Oborny seconded. Bickle called for the vote. The motion carried with six ayes and zero nays.
D. Termite/Pest Bid Lindsay presented the termite/pest bid to the board. Lindsay said the district only received one bid for the service for the next three school years. Universal Termite & Pest Control, Inc. was the sole bid for the project. Lindsay said the fee would be $5160.00 for the first two years and then raise to $5280.00 the third year.
Rankin motioned to approve the bid from Termite Pest Control for the 2017-2018, 2018-2019, and 2019, 2020 per the rate schedule. Fox seconded.
Bickle asked if it is normal to do annual termite treatment. Lindsay said the fee is for the inspection of properties as well as treating each building. Oborny asked if the district must have termite/pest services to keep any insurance down. Lindsay said the state requires termite and pest services to be regularly scheduled each year. Bickle called for the vote. The motion carried with six ayes and zero nays.
E. 2017-2018 School Handbook Revisions Thissen said the student handbooks for next school year show the proposed language changes to be considered for next year for all elementary schools, the middle school, and high school. Thissen said the Hays High School redlined copy of the handbook would be available at the June 26th board meeting.
Thissen said the middle school’s policy will change the most as the school us purchasing locks for lockers next year. Thissen said students are responsible for their iPads when going between classes and do not always need the iPad for each class. Thissen said the locks will allow student devices to stay safe during the school day. Thissen said student cell phone devices have caused some disruptions during class.
Craig Pallister, Hays Middle School Principal, said the middle school has been communicating with other schools in the state concerning student cell phones in classrooms. Pallister said the locks will allow the middle school to have students put all personal devices in lockers during class so teachers do not have to manage technology interruptions from students.
Adams asked about deleting headphones being left at home for Hays High School students. Adams would like clarification on what that change means. Adams asked if smart watches should be eliminated at the middle school as well as the high school. Bickle asked about the yearbook fee policy and wanted to know if not having the word “optional” included would cause any issues. Thissen said he would follow up on that.
F. Budget and End of the Year Spending Update Kaiser provided the board with a summarization of spending for the 2016-2017 school year. Kaiser said the district administration recommends the board move $330,000 into the Contingency Reserve Fund from the 2016-2017 budget. Kaiser said the Contingency Reserve Fund is currently at $331,000.
Kaiser said the fiscal year budget that is presented shows an increase in utility costs. Kaiser said an increase in health insurance premiums, 403(b) increased expenses due to higher participation and Title IIA funding reductions will have an impact on the budget. Kaiser said Governor Brownback has until June 19th to approve or veto the budget.
Kaiser said the administration has a plan for any additional funds that the district may receive. Kaiser said that limitations will be placed on the at-risk funding that the district will receive.
Adams asked about the decrease in early retiree health insurance. Kaiser said more staff are turning 65 years old and are falling off the health insurance cost that the district is currently paying. Kaiser said the three-year mark from the policy change is where the district will start to see a larger decrease in expenses.
Adams asked what is being cut out of Title IIA funding at the federal level. Dinkel said classroom reduction and professional development is currently being paid for by Title IIA funds. Dinkel said those dollars would need to be found elsewhere to keep those programs running the same as they are now.
Thissen said the cuts in funding for Title IIA funding and Medicaid will offset some of the funds the district could see next year that have been unfunded in the previous three to four years. Kaiser said USD 489 is one of two districts that receives declining enrollment funding. Kaiser said that funding will be cut in half next year from $352,000 to $176,000. Dinkel said district staff have been very fiscally responsible in the past several years. Adams said it is concerning to lose federal funding support.
G. State Assessment Information Shanna Dinkel, Assistant Superintendent, discussed the state assessment information with the board. Dinkel said the number of assessments that were given were reduced by 60 percent this past year. Dinkel said assessment results were sent home to parents with report cards at the end of this school year. Dinkel said interims were piloted at Hays Middle School and Lincoln: the district looks to expand on this program in the upcoming years.
Dinkel said there has been three years of instability with CETE.Dinkel said there was a data attack in 2015, a campus construction interruption in 2016, and a server issue in 2017. Dinkel said the district is at or above the state level. Dinkel said each grade is currently performing where the state is or above state levels. Dinkel discussed individual grade scores by assessment type. Dinkel said the educator reports will be reviewed at building levels to review the instructional programs.
Adams asked if the district could track grade levels to compare their previous assessment data from other testing years. Adams asked if there was any training support for showing differentiated instruction for teachers. Dinkel said that information could be used for planning discussions to help address performance gaps.
H. Board of Education Retreat Thissen said the board would need to select a date in July or August to hold the annual board retreat. Thissen said the budget and Rankin’s resignation will have an impact on the timing of the retreat. Thissen said the board would need at least a couple of hours to discuss strategy. Wasinger will send out a calendar availability request to arrange the date for the retreat.
I. Bond Issue Update Thissen provided an update to the board regarding the bond issue planning. Thissen said the Executive Team, Planning Team, and Vision Teams will meet again on Tuesday, June 13th. Thissen said the city level sales tax is not a viable option. Thissen said the City of Hays is not in favor of using the sales tax for the school bond issue. Thissen asked the board members to provide feedback if sales tax options are removed from the table.
Bickle said he thinks the district should take the sales tax off the table if it is not seen as a viable option for the city. Thissen said the sales tax not being an option does not change the process. Thissen said entertaining the possibility for a county or city sales tax is part of the financial planning process for the bond issue. Thissen said the increase in mill levy would be the funding source for the bond issue at this point. Thissen said Dustin Avey from Piper Jaffray will attend tomorrow’s meetings to present funding options for the bond issue.
Rankin asked if Thissen went to the city as a courtesy. Thissen said the city would have to agree to give their share of the tax of the project to the school district. Thissen said the soonest an election would be held would be November, which would not cost the district any money to hold. Thissen said if the district chooses another date, the expense to hold the election would be between $15,000 and $20,000. Thissen said that DLR has gone through the same planning process and timeline as they have in other communities that they have worked. Thissen said the balance of time is important in the planning process, as is having the best financial plan and scope for projects.
Adams thanked Thissen for the work that was done to find alternative funding sources. Adams said the work that was completed for funding helps focus the scope of the bond issue.
10.0 DISCUSSION TOPICS • Adams asked if the KPERS change impacted the district in a good way. Kaiser said employees at age 62 will have to wait 60 days before they can work for the district again. Kaiser said employees will no longer have to pay a surcharge to work after retirement. • Adams said the migrant program has been very engaging for the students that are participating, particularly in bridging gaps for those students. Dinkel said Meribel Osario has done a great job working with the migrant families and building strong relationships with those families. • Rankin thanked Wasinger for the going away reception. • Bickle presented Board Vice President Sarah Rankin with a Best of the Best Award. Bickle thanked Rankin for her passion and dedicated service to the USD 489 Board of Education. Bickle thanked Rankin for her years of service on the board. 11.0 EXECUTIVE SESSION

This handbook is designed to serve as a guide to the elementary schools in USD 489. It should be kept as a ready reference.
To accomplish ourthe Mission Statement, all our schools must function under certain guidelines and regulations. We expect everyone attending our schools or being a part of them as a parent or guardian to recognize these regulations, to understand them, to abide by them, and to instruct their children about their responsibilities as students. It is also important for students and their parents to become acquainted with the school routines, services, and activities outlined in this handbook.
All of The policies in this handbook have been reviewed by the USD 489 Board of Education and are part of the Board of Education policies.

All of the elementary schools in Hays USD 489 offer programs for kindergarten through grade five. In each of these schools, kindergarten is an all-day program. During the last several years, a great deal of research has been done on how students learn and teaching methods that best promote student learning. USD 489 teachers and administrators are well versed in this current research, and efforts are in process to bring - improved, research-based instruction to the students in the district’s classrooms. Some of these important practices include:
• Providing a positive learning atmosphere in the school and classrooms. • Cooperative learning. • Algebra and geometry concepts in earlier grades. • Increased student writing in all content areas. • Connecting what is taught to real-life experiences students have previously experienced/learned to promote understanding, meaning, and remembering what is taught. • Teaching to the different ways that students learn ( visual, auditory, kinesthetic, etc.). • Increased active student participation in the learning process and increased teacher-student interaction.
If you wish to know more about any of the above, please feel free to talk to your child’s teacher or principal. Active parent participation is encouraged in all district schools. Parents who are interested in becoming more involved in their children’s school should contact the principal. Parents are also invited to visit their children’s classrooms at any time.
Enrollment Enrollment for elementary schools takes place prior to the start of each school year; check with your school for the schedule. We preserve the neighborhood schools concept while offering choice; parents may send their child to any school within the district they wish, as long as there are openings in that school..
Enrollment Fees USD 489 charges a $135 Workbook/Materials Fee, which is not refundable. Students who enroll during the 4th nine-week period are not required to pay the enrollment fee. There is also a $150 fee for All-Day Kindergarten.
Insufficient Payment If a check is returned because of insufficient funds, the writer of the check will be notified in writing that they have 10 days to make payment in the form of cash, cashier check, or money order. If payment is not received during this 10-day extension, the school district reserves the right to turn the claim over to the Ellis County Attorney.
School Hours Lincoln 7:59 a.m.–3:02 p.m. O’Loughlin 7:59 a.m.–3:02 p.m. Roosevelt 8:02 a.m.–3:05 p.m. Wilson 7:56 a.m.–2:59 p.m.
Arrival and Departure Supervision will be provided for students 20 minutes prior to the beginning of the school day. Students are expected to depart from the school grounds immediately upon dismissal. If students have not been picked up within 15 minutes after dismissal, the students will be placed in the after- school program. The appropriate after-school care fee will be charged.

Attendance, Absences, and Tardies Since school is your child’s business, he/she should be at school every day and on time. Good school work and regular attendance are closely related. �A child is counted absent when he/she is not present at school for any reason. �A child is unexcused when he/she is absent without the knowledge of his/her parents. �It is the responsibility of the parent to inform the school of a child’s absence prior to the beginning of the school day. � A call will be made to the parent if there has been no parental contact. � Tardy students may be expected to make up the lost time.
Student Consultation/Detention When it becomes necessary to detain a pupil after school for an extended period of time, the parent will be notified. Occasions such as these may result from the need of the pupil to complete an assignment or detention due to a discipline problem.
Truancy Truancy is defined by KSA 72-113 as lawful and inexcusable absence from school for three consecutive days, or five days or more within a single semester, or seven days in a school year. An unexcused absence is defined as absence from school for any significant part of the school day in which a student is not in attendance and neither the parent /guardian nor the school is aware and/or approves the absence. [USD #489 BOE Policy JBD]. The school will adhere to the requirements of KSA 72-113 in informing parents and the county attorney of nonattendance.
Student Records The district collects and maintains only that data about individuals which is necessary in order for the schools to accomplish their primary goals. No information other than that used for personal identification and factual data of a cumulative nature will be collected, maintained, or disseminated without informed consent of the individual and/or the parent or guardian of students. [ USD # 489 BOE Policy JRA]
Directory Information Certain information is routinely released at various times during the school year. This information is classified as directory information. The following categories are listed as directory information: student’s name, address, telephone number, picture, parent or guardian, date and place of birth; weight, height, participation in and eligibility for officially recognized activities; dates of attendance or grade placement; honors and awards received; and the most recent educational agency or school attended by the student. If you choose not to have any of this information released, you will need to contact the school administration.
Parent Groups Each elementary school has an organized parent group—in some schools it is a Home & School Association, in others a Parent-Teacher Association or Parent Advisory Council. All schools have site councils, which are made of staff members, parents, and community members. These groups, which provide guidance, volunteer assistance, financial aid, and student-teacher support, are vital to the success of our schools. These parent groups are also informally organized through a Parent Advisory Council Coalition that helps coordinate parent activities and programs throughout the district.
6 Dress Code This dress code is intended to promote appearance that refrains from interference with the intended function of the school or school activity or creates potential health and safety hazards. Neatness and cleanliness of personal hygiene is encouraged at all times. For reasons of health and safety, shoes must be worn Except in those situations where approved by a school-sponsored group or activity in advance of an activity, headgear (examples: hats, caps, bandanas, sunglasses, stocking caps, head covering) should not be worn in the building until the dismissal bell rings. Hair, particularly at the middle school, should be a natural color. Items of apparel that are considered distracting, unsafe, offensive, revealing, or suggestive (direct or indirect reference to alcohol, drugs, sex, profanity, gang affiliation, Satanism, tobacco, etc.) should not be worn. No bare backs or shirts which expose stomachs are permitted. Students dressed inappropriately may be asked to secure the proper attire before returning to class.
Coaches and sponsors of extracurricular activities may individually set additional guidelines to serve the best interests of their organizations.
Appropriateness of dress and appearance will be determined by and enforced by the administration on an individual basis. Inclement Weather Parents are advised to tune to local radio stations for details of possible school closings. Notice will also be delivered through our district School Connects System in the form of e-mail and/or text messages. In the event of a closing during school hours, please advise your children as to exactly what they are to do. Students will remain at school until arrangements have been made for their transportation.
Withdrawals and Transfers When your family is changing its place of residence, be sure to contact your principal in advance for proper withdrawal procedures. If you transfer within the district, your child’s records will be transferred from his/her present school to the receiving school. When you leave the district, a signed request for transfer of records is required.
Student Behavior Our goal is to guide each child in the development of desirable character traits so that self- discipline may be exercised. We strive to see that every child is treated with fairness and respect and has equal opportunity. We will not permit any child to disrupt school in any manner to the degree that the educational opportunities of other children are hindered.
In-School Suspension and Out of School Suspension In-school suspension and Out of School Suspension will be an option at the principal’s discretion.
Long-Term Suspension or Expulsion from School Arrangements for a formal hearing will be made within 10 days of the suspension to determine the most appropriate disposition of the individual case. This action will be reserved for such situations as continued violation(s) of any published code whereby alternative interventions are deemed ineffective; possession of any item intended for use as a weapon; false fire alarm; or bomb threat.
7 Outdoor Play We encourage the students to go outside to play whenever the weather permits. Please be sure your child has proper clothing for outdoor play. A short recess period in the morning and afternoon is a good refresher for students. We encourage the entire class to participate in the recess periods.
Materials/Textbooks Textbooks are provided by the schools. Parents are encouraged to teach their children to be responsible for good care of the books and other school property.
Harassment What is harassment? Harassment is verbal or physical conduct of an offensive nature. It could be student-to-student, staff-to-student, student-to-staff, or staff-to-staff. Harassment could be perceived as intimidating, hostile or offensive. It could also be directed toward someone because of his or her gender.
Examples of harassment include but are not limited to: ./ verbal “kidding”; ./ suggestive remarks, gestures, or jokes; ./ remarks about one’s appearance; ./ defaming the reputation of an individual through verbal rumors, written notes or graffiti; ./ displaying offensive illustrations; ./ intimidating behavior; and ./ pulling at clothing.
Harassment will not be tolerated in USD 489. Regardless of whether they are reported or not, harassment problems have negative consequences in the workplace and classroom and can seriously affect the safety, health, and self-esteem of the individual. The USD 489 Board of Education’s policies concerning harassment are on file in the offices of the principals and counselors.
Any student who believes he or she has been subjected to harassment should visit with the principal, guidance counselor, or another certified staff member. Every effort will be made to preserve confidentiality for both the accuser and the accused, to the extent the investigative process allows.
Weapons Policy A student shall not knowingly possess, handle or transmit any object that can reasonably be considered a weapon on the school grounds or off the school grounds at a school activity, function, or event. Violation of policy with regard to possession/use of explosives, firearms, or other weapons as defined in current law shall result in expulsion from school for a period not to exceed one calendar year. For more information, refer to USD 489 BOE policy JCDBB.
Interrogation and Investigation Building administrators and others designated by the superintendent may conduct investigations and question students about infractions of school rules or the student conduct code.
If there is reason to believe a violation of criminal law has been committed, the principal shall notify the appropriate law enforcement agency and may request further investigation of the alleged violation.
8 COORDINATION WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT School administrators may meet periodically with local law enforcement officials to discuss the district’s policies and rules regarding law enforcement contacts with the district.
INITIATED BY SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS AND CONDUCTED BY LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS When law enforcement officers conduct an investigation and/or question a student(s) during school hours, the building principal shall make reasonable attempts to contact parents, guardian or representative of the student(s) prior to questioning. To the extent possible, reasonable requests of the parents, guardian or representative shall be observed. Notification or attempted notification of parents, guardian or representative shall be documented by the administrator involved. If a student’s parents, guardian, or representative is not present during questioning of a student, the principal shall be present.
INITIATED BY LAW ENFORCEMENT The administration shall cooperate with law enforcement officers who are conducting investigations of suspected child abuse. Law enforcement officers shall not be permitted to conduct investigations during school hours except in demonstrated emergency situations. If a demonstrated emergency is found, the principal shall require identification of law enforcement officials and reasons for the interrogation or investigation of a student. If the principal is not satisfied with either the identification or the reason, the request shall not be granted. The principal shall attempt to notify the superintendent and the officer’s superiors of the reasons for the refusal. VIOLATIONS OF CRIMINAL LAW Information on criminal conduct shall be turned over to law enforcement officials. TAKING STUDENTS INTO CUSTODY Students shall not be voluntarily released by school officials to law enforcement authorities unless the student has been placed under arrest or taken into custody by law enforcement or SRS. Reasonable effort shall be made to notify the student’s parents, guardian or representative when students are removed from school for any reason by law enforcement authorities. INTERROGATIONS AND INVESTIGATIONS Notification efforts shall be documented. Parents shall not be notified by school officials when their child is taken into custody by SRS and/or law enforcement as a result of allegations of abuse or neglect.
When a student has been taken into custody or arrested on school premises without prior notification to the building principal, the school staff present shall ask the law enforcement officer to notify the principal of the circumstances as quickly as possible. DISTURBANCE OF SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT Law enforcement officers may be requested to assist in controlling disturbances at school and if necessary to take students or other persons into custody. [USD 489 BOE policy JCAC)
Substance-Free Schools A student shall not, regardless of the quantity: o possess or consume a beverage containing alcohol; o possess or use tobacco in any form; o consume, have in possession, buy, sell, or give away any substance defined by law as a drug.
9 Drug Dog Policy At the request of the Superintendent or Acting Superintendent of Schools, Law Enforcement Officers may use trained dogs on school premises to identify property which may contain illegal or illicit materials and to determine whether materials are present which may threaten the general health, welfare, and safety of students and/or district employees. Trained dogs may be used for general searches or for specific locations. [USD 489 BOE POLICY JCAB)
Student Valuables Each student should assume the responsibility of taking care of his or her own possessions. The school district does not carry insurance on students' personal property items and is not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged property. Please do not allow your child to bring personal toys, games, cell phones, other electronic devices, money, etc. to school.
Property Damage Students who destroy or vandalize school property will be required to pay for losses or damages. Willful destruction may result in disciplinary action. Accidental damage should be reported to the office immediately. School personnel reserve the right to search student lockers and any personal property brought onto USD 489 property. Meal Programs Lunch—A supervised lunch program will be maintained at each attendance center. Students who bring a sack lunch may purchase milk by the carton. Carbonated beverages are discouraged. Parents are welcome to eat at school with their child. Guest quantities are limited. We do request that parents notify the school secretary by 9:00 a.m. if they wish to eat that day. Check with your school for lunch fees. Free or reduced-price lunches are provided to children whose family meets income eligibility requirements. Applications are given to each enrolling family; - additional forms are available from each school office and the Board of Education office.
Breakfast—Breakfast programs are available at all schools. Students who qualify for free or reduced lunch will also qualify for free or reduced breakfast. Check with your school for breakfast prices and times of service.
School Visitation Parents are encouraged to visit our schools. Children visiting school must be accompanied by an adult. All visitors must check in to the main office upon arrival and receive a visitor’s badge before going anywhere else in the building.
Personal Safety Some courses, by their nature, require special safety precautions. Students are expected to demonstrate knowledge of and follow safety regulations as required by the instructor.
Insurance Coverage USD 489 does not provide insurance to cover injuries involving students. Student accident insurance is available, however. Contact the building principal for information about this program.
Lost and Found A lost and found facility is maintained at each attendance center. Please label all apparel and school supplies. Unclaimed articles will be donated to a community organization.
10 Telephone Parents should feel free to call the school concerning any matter dealing with their children. We request that teachers and students not be asked to come to the telephone during class. Students’ after-school - arrangements should be made prior to the school day. Cell Phones In order to ensure the learning environment of all elementary students is not interrupted by student cell phones ringing, we are asking that students leave their cell phones at home. If for some reason a student must bring a cell phone to school, it needs to remain in the backpack and turned off until the student leaves the school building at the end of the day.
If a student brings a cell phone to school and it rings during class time, the teacher will take the cell phone, turn it off and keep it on his/her desk until the end of the school day. At that time, it will be returned to the student. If there are any additional occurrences, the cell phone will be brought to the office and parents will be asked to pick up the cell phone from the office. If you need to contact your student and give him/her a message, please call your child’s school office. The office staff will get the message to your student before the end of the school day.
Health Services USD 489 HEALTH SERVICES: The district employs registered nurses to serve the schools for health related needs and health education. Parents should report any special health condition involving their child to the school nurse. If necessary, the school nurse, with the input of the parents and the health care provider, will develop a special health care plan addressing the specific needs of the student.
Immunizations and Health Assessments: Kansas law and USD 489 policy requires all students to meet immunization requirements and to have these records on file at school. Students not meeting these requirements will be excluded from school. Enrollment of kindergartners must include a record of current immunizations and a health assessment.
Medication Procedure: It is recommended that every possible means be taken to give students medication at home. If it becomes necessary for a student to take any form of medication at school, these steps must be followed:
1. A parent or guardian must complete and sign a Medication Request Form available in the school office or on the school web site. 2. The medication must be in the original, completely labeled container. 3. All medication will be kept in the Health Office. Any exceptions to this must have prior approval.***
Contagious Diseases: Students exhibiting symptoms of a contagious disease or illness will not be allowed in school. A student with fever, vomiting, severe sore throat, undiagnosed rash or skin eruptions, severe cough or cold symptoms, or red eyes with discharge should remain home. A student must be fever-free (oral temperature under 100 degrees), without the benefit of fever-reducing medication, for 24 hours before returning to school.
Illness/ Injury: When students become ill or injured at school, they will be evaluated by the school nurse or other designated personnel. Every effort will be made to contact a parent or guardian in case of serious illness or accident.
Screenings: Hearing and vision screenings will be conducted as required by Kansas state law and by parental request.
*** USD #489 has adopted a policy for “Student Self-Administration of Medications” under certain conditions. Please refer to Board Policy JGFGBA for more information.
11 Elementary Schools Snack Food Guidelines USD 489 is committed to healthy snack choices in our elementary schools. Healthy snack choices are an important part of creating a healthy school environment. Snacks are important for providing children with nutrients to support growth and learning.
Snacks served during the school day or in after-school care should make a positive contribution to children’s diets and health, with an emphasis on serving fruits, vegetables, low-fat and whole grains as the primary snacks. Schools will assess if and when to offer snacks based on the timing of school meals, children’s nutritional needs, children’s ages, and other considerations. The district will disseminate a list of healthful snack items to teachers, afterschool program personnel, and parents. A Healthy Snack List will be sent with each snack schedule sent home. Prepackaged healthy snack items are preferred.
Due to a variety of food allergies, the schools are considered to be peanut/tree nut aware, so please avoid sending food items that may contain these known food allergens. The school cannot be responsible for food brought to the school by other students and/or parents.
Healthy Snack Possibilities Any Fresh fruit or vegetable (apple slices, carrot and celery sticks) 100% Fruit or vegetable juice Canned or packaged fruit products packed in juice Raisins or Dried Fruit such as bananas, apples, peaches, apricots, plums Animal Crackers, plain popcorn Low or nonfat milk Low or nonfat yogurt Frozen yogurt tubes Low-fat pudding Low fat cheeses Whole grain crackers, cereal bars Whole grain tortilla chips with salsa or guacamole Fruit Kabobs Angel food cake topped with fresh fruit Applesauce or other fruit cups Raw veggies served with low-fat dip Berries with low-fat whipped topping Bananas or Strawberries with a low-fat yogurt dip Graham crackers
Emergency Safety Intervention (ESI)
K.A.R. 91-42-1(c) defines an emergency safety intervention (ESI) as “the use of seclusion or physical restraint when a student presents an immediate danger to self or others. Violent action that is destructive of property may necessitate the use of an emergency safety intervention.” K.A.R. 91-42-2(a)(3) requires that whenever an ESI is used, the parent(s)/guardian(s) must be informed in writing within two school days. Email meets the definition of notification by writing. The ESI policy can be viewed in its entirety at: http://www.usd489.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/emergency_safety_interventions-policy.pdf.

Parents As Teachers The PATHS program serves families with children ranging in age from newborns to age three. Income-eligible pregnant women also qualify for this program's services. PATHS provides parents with current information on child development and parenting through personal home visits. Income-eligible families also have available to them training that helps them develop and achieve goals to meet their individual needs.

Early Childhood Connections is a free preschool for income- eligible families that helps prepare children for kindergarten by giving them a head start on their education in a school setting. Early Childhood Connections is the only preschool program in Hays accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children.
After School Care All elementary schools in Hays offer fee-based, after-school childcare in the school setting for their students. The children have the opportunity to expand their learning day in a warm, caring, well-supervised, fun environment. Students can get help with their homework, play outside when weather permits, and learn life skills like cooking, arts, and crafts. The peace of mind quality childcare provides for our parents is priceless. For more information, please refer to your school’s daycare handbook.
Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety The safety of your child is one of our major concerns. Your cooperation is needed to build good safety habits. Please urge your child to: •Walk on sidewalks. • Cross only when the intersection is clear and at marked crossings. • Never enter a strange automobile. • Go directly to and from school along predetermined walkways. We urge that bicycle riders: • Obey all safety regulations. •Park bikes in the racks provided. • Be in grades three through five to ride bikes to school. • Not ride bikes in the street near the school, on the sidewalks, or on school grounds. • Secure their bike with a chain and lock. Students will be asked to forfeit bicycle use for a specified period of time if they are found to make improper use of the bicycle. Skateboards, rollerblades, and scooters are prohibited.
Fire, Tornado, and Crisis Drills Fire, tornado, and crisis drills are held at irregular intervals throughout the school year. When the alarm is sounded, students should quickly and quietly accompany the teacher to designated areas. The teacher will check the roll. Emergency instructions are posted in each classroom.

Parent–Teacher Conferences Parents and schools have joint responsibility for children’s development. What happens to them both in school and at home affects their total behavior. In order to inform parents of their student’s progress, report cards will be issued each nine-weeks at most schools. Conferences will be scheduled once this year during the month of October. Additional conferences may be scheduled upon request by either the parent or the school. Your principal will advise you of the progress information procedure for your child’s school.
Special Education
A full range of special education services are available to meet specific student needs. If a student is having difficulty in school, general education implements an intervention plan first. If a student appears to require special education services, a multidisciplinary evaluation is completed to determine eligibility and need for services.
15 Title I District Parental Involvement Plan USD 489, Hays Public Schools
Parental interest, support and guidance are major contributing factors to any successful Title I instructional program. Toward this end, USD 489 public schools will provide opportunities for parents to participate in activities that include but are not limited to those listed below:
1. Staff and parents in Title I schools will plan and conduct at least one informational meeting each year to share information on programs and services and to encourage the involvement of parents in the educational process. 2. Parents will be provided information on programs, activities and opportunities for involvement through newsletters, invitations, personal notes, and telephone calls. 3. The school shall notify each child’s parents in a timely manner that the child has been selected to participate in Title I, including information about why the child was selected. 4. Staff and parents in Title I schools will develop, implement and annually review school compacts as a method to regularly identify and address goals for student progress. 5. Staff and parents will participate in regularly scheduled parent teacher conferences to address student progress and needs. 6. The school parent involvement program will be coordinated with parent organizations, school volunteer programs, and school site councils. 7. Staff and parents at each school will develop and disseminate a school parent involvement policy to outline specific provisions for parent and community involvement. The policy will be reviewed annually and filed in the district Title I office. 8. Parents must be involved in an organized, ongoing and timely way in the planning review and improvement of Title I programs. This may be accomplished by creating a separate Title I advisory group or by ensuring that parents of participating Title I children have seats on existing school-wide committees such as parent advisory council. 9. The school must provide Title I parents with reports on school performance and their children’s assessment results. 10. The school must explain and describe the school’s curriculum, assessments used to measure student progress and standards that students are expected to meet.

16 Notice to Parents Right to Request Information On Teacher Qualifications
Dear Elementary School Parents:
The teachers and staff are excited about providing your child an exciting learning experience. We welcome you to visit our schools any time to talk about your child and his or her progress during the year.
You are aware of the federal “No Child Left Behind” (NCLB) Act of 2001 that impacts all public schools in the United States. One of the key provisions of that federal plan is to make sure our schools have the most highly qualified teachers in the classroom that we can possible have. In fact, should you wish to receive information about the qualifications of your child’s classroom teachers, NCLB allows you to ask and our schools to provide the following information:
Whether the teacher has met state qualifications and licensing criteria for the grade levels and subjects he or she teaches. Whether the teacher is teaching under emergency or other provisional license or whether licensing criteria have been waived. The teacher’s degree major and any other graduate certification or degree held, and the field of discipline of the degree. Whether the child is provided services by a para educator and, if so, their qualifications.
If you would like to receive any of this information, please feel free to submit your request in writing or contact your school principal at school, and he or she will gladly follow up with you.
Thank you for all you do to support your child’s education!

Emergency Safety Intervention (ESI) K.A.R. 91-42-1© defines an emergency safety intervention (ESI) as “the use of seclusion or physical restraint when a student presents an immediate danger to self or others. Violent action that is destructive of property may necessitate the use of an emer- gency safety intervention.” K.A.R. 91-42-2(a)(3) requires that whenever an ESI is used, the parent(s)/guardian(s) must be informed in writing within two school days. Email meets the definition of notification by writing. The ESI policy can be viewed in its entirety on the district website.

They are caused by a bump, b low, or jolt to the head, or by a blow to another part of the body with the force transmitted to the head. They can range from mild to severe and can disrupt the way t he brain normally works. Even though most concussions are mild, all concussions are potentially serious and may result in complications including prolonged brain damage and death if not recognized and managed properly. In other words, even a "ding" or a bump on the head can be serious. You can't see a concussion and most sports concussions occur without loss of consciousness. Signs and symptoms of concussion may show up right after the injury or can take hours or days to fully appear. If your child reports an y symptoms of concussion, or if you notice the symptoms or signs of concussion yourself, seek medical attention right away. Symptoms may include one or more of the following: • Headaches Amnesia • "Pressure in head" "Don't feel right" • Nausea or vomiting Fatigue or low energy 0 Neck pain Sadness • Balance problems or dizziness Nervousness or anxiety • Blurred, double, or fuzzy vision Irritability • Sensitivity to light or noise More emotional Feeling sluggish or slowed down Confusion • Feeling foggy or groggy Concentration or memory problems (forgetting game plays) • Drowsiness Repeating the same question/comment • Change in sleep patterns Amnesia Signs observed by teammates, parents and coaches include:
• Appears dazed Slurred speech • Vacant facial expression Shows behavior or personality changes • Confused about assignment Can't recall events prior to hit • Forgets plays Can't recall events after hit • Is unsure of game, score, or opponent Seizures or convulsions • Moves clumsily or displays incoordination Any change in typical behavior or personality • Answers questions slowly Loses consciousness Adapted from the CDC and the 3 International Conference in Sport What can happen if my child keeps on playing with a concussion or returns too soon? Athletes with the signs and symptoms of concussion should be removed from play immediately. Continuing to play with the signs and symptoms of a concussion leaves the young athlete especially vulnerable to greater injury. There is an increased risk of sign ificant damage from a concussion for a period of time after that concussion occurs, particularly if the athlete suffers another concussion before completely recovering from the first one (second impact syndrome). This can lead to prolonged recovery, or even to severe brain swelling with devastating and even fatal consequences. It is well known that adolescent or teenage athletes will often underreport symptoms of injuries. And concussions are no different. As a result, education of administrators, coaches, parents and students is the key for student-athlete's safety. If you think your child has suffered a concussion Any athlete even suspected of suffering a concussion should be removed from the game or practice immediately. No athlete may return to activity after an apparent head injury or concussion, regardless of how mild it seems or how quickly symptoms clear, without written medical clearance from a Medical Doctor (MD) or Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO). Close observation of the athlete should continue for several hours. You should also inform your child's coach if you think that your child may have a concussion. Remember it is better to miss one game than miss the whole season. When in doubt, the athlete sits out! Return to Practice and Competition The Kansas School Sports Head Injury Prevention Act provides that if an athlete suffers, or is suspected of having suffered, a concussion or head injury during a competition or practice, the athlete must be immediately removed from the competition or practice and cannot return to practice or competition until a Health Care Professional has evaluated the athlete and provided a written authorization to return to practice and competition. The KSHSAA recommends that an athlete not return to practice or competition the same day the athlete suffers or is suspected of suffering a concussion. The KSHSAA also recommends that an athlete's return to practice and competition should follow a graduated protocol under the supervision of the health care provider (MD or DO) For current and up-to-date information on concussions you can go to: http://www.edu.gov/concussioon/HeadsUp/youth.html For concussion information and educational resources collected by the KSHSAA, go to: http://www.kshsaa.org/Public/General/ConcussionGuidelines.cfm
