📚 Families interested in enrolling are encouraged to complete the application process as early as possible to ensure timely review and placement before the start of school.
🔗 Our nonresident enrollment policy, procedures, and application form can be found on our website at www.usd243ks.org under the "Enrollment Projections & Nonresident Enrollment Capacity and Policy" tab.

Dear USD 243 Families,
We are monitoring the weather forecast for today, April 17. Current information shows a potential for severe weather in our area between 3:00–4:00 PM.
We will continue to track conditions throughout the day. If you prefer to pick up your student early, you’re welcome to do so using your building’s normal check-out procedures.
At this time, we do not anticipate an early release, but that could change depending on how conditions develop over the coming hours. Also, we recommend having a backup plan in place this afternoon in case schedules change.
Any updates, including changes to after-school activities, will be shared through our usual communication channels.
We will continue to review conditions and make decisions based on student and staff safety. Thank you for your cooperation.
Dustin Wilson, Superintendent of Schools
