Thank you so much for helping spoil our teachers and staff!

Important Notice from Kaw Valley USD 321
We have recently seen an increase in fraudulent emails that appear to come from district staff (also known as “spoofing”). We want to remind our community that Kaw Valley USD 321 will never request personal information such as banking details, passwords, or other sensitive data by phone or email.
If you receive an email that seems unusual—even if it displays a school name or a staff member’s address—please use caution. Do not click links, open attachments, or reply with personal information. Instead, verify the message by contacting the staff member or the district office directly using the phone numbers listed on our official website.
Your security is our priority. Thank you for staying vigilant and helping protect our school community.

Late Night with the Bears
With nearly 400 meals served, we all certainly felt thankful and grateful for our incredibly involved SMGS families! Thanksgiving With a Loved One was an enormous success and we are humbled with the steadfast support our immediate and extended families give to our students, teachers, and staff. A special thank you to our food service personnel; Alice, Peggy, Marlene, Sylvia, and Catherine who prepared and served with such ease and care. To all of our SMGS family-- thank you for for your continued support, encouragement, and especially your trust in allowing your children to share their day learning and growing with us.
