One week from today!!
We have some exciting news to share with you! As we are preparing for a new school year, we will be transitioning to Skyward’s newest technology: Qmlativ. This new system will provide an updated interface, redefined processes, and a better experience for our district families.
Similar to our previous software, SMS 2.0, Qmlativ will still provide up-to-date information on your student’s attendance, grades, upcoming assignments, and other important information at any time on your computer or mobile device. Your children will have their own accounts, where they will check grades, complete online assignments, and much more. Our current Skyward platform will be unavailable from July 9th-28th. The new Qmlativ platform will be available to families for online enrollment and more beginning July 29th.
I encourage you to check out Skyward’s parent resources for the Qmlativ toolkit at https://www.skyward.com/parents-and-students/qmlativ-toolkit/parents. Here, you’ll find more information and training videos so you can get a head start on getting used to Qmlativ.
We are excited about the potential Qmlativ Family Access has to help us reach a larger number of our students and their families. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Jennifer Duenas at 785-258-2261 or jduenas@usd487.org after July 29th.

On the last day of school, students from HHS went downtown to thank local businesses and played at the park. Thank you to this community for supporting our schools! Go Railers!
For five years, Hannah and Isabelle committed to early mornings in the weight room before school — showing dedication, discipline, and hard work to become stronger athletes. Proud of the commitment they made and the results that came from it!
Thank you Coach Warta for dedicating the time to supervise the morning weights. Great Job Girls!!!
