Hello All,
Friday, May 12 is Childcare Provider Appreciation Day! A big shout out to Ellis childcare providers..Kim, Cat, Sandy, Phylis, Noel, Faith, and Lisa. If I missed anyone, please accept my apologies. Please thank them for what they do. To celebrate, NWKS Economic Innovation Center asked Northwest Kansas parents to submit thank you messages to their childcare provider. They put all those messages together in a thank you video. Enjoy!

Dear Community Parents,
Please take the time to complete the survey below to gauge the childcare needs of our community. The results of the survey will be combined with information provided by our community’s valued childcare providers to determine the need for additional child-care services in USD 388.
The availability of childcare services across the nation has decreased dramatically since the onset of Covid. Fortunately, Kansas leaders, nonprofits, and community organizations are leading the way with solutions to provide quality childcare to our children. If the survey indicates a need for additional childcare services, the district will certainly investigate funding sources to provide quality, affordable childcare options for our families. Please limit one survey per family.
Thank you for your input. #Our children are our future.
Janice Wilson, Superintendent
