Dr. Anthony Lewis Outlines Plan for First 100 Days

Dr. Anthony Lewis became USD 497's ninth superintendent of schools on July 1, 2018.

Power Up for the New School Year!

As we close out the 2017-18 school year and prepare for the new one, the district's regular Skyward year-end rollover will begin on June 25. At that time, Skyward will be closed (as it is every year during rollover). Once the Skyward rollover is complete, the district will launch a new system, PowerSchool, for the 2018-19 school year.
