Dear USD 430 Families, Students, Staff, and Community Members,
Welcome to the start of the new school year! We hope your summer was full of rest, fun, and wonderful memories. As we open our doors and welcome everyone back into our classrooms, we are filled with excitement for all the possibilities this year holds.
This school year, our unifying theme is "Make Your Mark."
Every day brings a fresh opportunity to leave a positive impact on the people and environment around us. No gesture is too small, and no goal is too big. Here is how we can all Make Our Mark across USD 430 this year:
Our Students: You can make your mark by trying your best, trying new things, and lifting up your classmates. Whether it’s mastering a tough subject, joining a new club or team, or simply being a reliable friend, your unique talents and kindness make our schools a better place.
Our Staff: You make your mark every single day through your dedication, creativity, and care. By inspiring curiosity, building strong relationships, and holding high expectations, you shape the future and help every student discover their potential.
Our Families: You make your mark by being our strongest partners in education. Your support at home, active communication with teachers, and encouragement in all school endeavors lay the foundation for student success.
Our Community Members: You make your mark by investing in our schools and celebrating our achievements. Through your support at events and community partnerships, you demonstrate to our students that an entire community is cheering them on.
When we all commit to making a positive mark, our schools thrive, and our students excel. Let’s bring energy, kindness, and purpose to everything we do this year.
Thank you for being such an essential part of the USD 430 family. Let’s make this school year our best one yet!
Warmly,
Dr. Rebecca Kramer
Superintendent
