Waverly Schools -

📱 Coming Soon: Rooms by Apptegy! 🎉

USD 243 is excited to introduce Rooms, our new board-approved 2-way messaging application that will make it easier for families to stay connected with teachers, staff, and coaches.

With Rooms, families will be able to:

💬 Send and receive messages with school staff
📢 Receive important school announcements
📱 Get text notifications, even without downloading the app
🔒 Communicate through a safe and secure platform

Rooms will help bring more of our school communication together in one place and support our district’s communication requirements under Kansas HB 2299.

Rooms is not quite ready yet! We’ll share more information and instructions with families as soon as the app is ready to launch.

📧 Be sure to check your email for more details!

Stay tuned! We’re excited to get Rooms up and running and make communication with USD 243 even easier! 🧡❤️🐾

Any 6th-8th WJH student interested in playing football or being a football manager is encouraged to attend our preseason player meeting and equipment check-out tomorrow, Aug. 13 at 6:45pm at the New Gym locker room. Please contact Mr. Piper @ tpiper@usd243ks.org with any questions.

Join us on Friday night for the 4th annual Back To School Bash!

Waverly Grade School and Waverly Jr. High will both have an Open House in respective buildings on Thursday, August 13th. Hope to see you there!

Waverly Grade School has an opening for an anticipated school secretary. Send resumes to Alice Preeo at apreeo@usd243ks.org. #itsagreatdaytobeabulldog

All WJH/WHS students are invited to attend preseason speed/agility/conditioning this week and next. No equipment is needed, other than a water bottle or similar.

Summer Band is upon us!
If you haven't reached out to Mrs. Riecker to sign up, send an email. The advanced group (at 9 AM) is for any non-beginner band students. The beginning groups are for incoming 5th graders or anyone who wants to try a second instrument for a few days to see how it feels! If you're not sure what you want to try, you can attend both beginning sessions for the first few days to try multiple instruments and make an informed decision.
Are you an adult who has always wanted to try an instrument, just to see what it's like? COME ON IN!
There is a one-time blanket fee of $10 to cover all supplies that may be needed.
Questions? Email me! Students attending summer band next week should enter through the northwest door (the one closest to the band room).

Thank you to the students who helped our teachers at Waverly Grade School prepare for the school year this week. #itsagreatdaytobeabulldog
