Ellis Jr./Sr. High School Parents, Students, and Faculty/Staff:
Ellis Jr./Sr. High School's Band has the exciting opportunity to perform at the Kansas State Fair on Wednesday, September 16! It is truly an honor. Because many students will be absent for this event, we have rescheduled school pictures from September 16 to Tuesday, September 29, 2026. This was originally designated as our retake day. School picture retakes will now take place on Friday, October 16, 2026. Thank you to Leann's Photos for being so cooperative.
This change should allow everyone to take their pictures and have the opportunity for retakes if needed. The updated schedule has been reflected in the school’s online calendar.
Thank you! For any questions, please contact Maria at 785-726-3151 or via email at mmick@usd388.org.
