USD 308 Parent Enrollment Survey
This survey will gather pre-enrollment numbers for our new virtual school as well as traditional schools in USD 308.
For the 2021-2022 school year, students have two options for learning: in person or through our new virtual school. See below for more information about the virtual school.
Hutchinson Virtual School (HVS) is a part of USD 308. HVS is open to K-12 students who reside in the state of Kansas. Local USD 308 teachers will provide support and instruction through daily online contact with students. In-person instruction sessions can be scheduled as needed. Adults wishing to complete their diploma are also encouraged to enroll. HVS will be open for enrollment soon and will follow the USD 308 calendar.
Click on the link below to take the survey. It will ask you a variety of questions for each of your children. We know there will be families who move between now and August. This is just a preliminary indication of numbers and not the actual enrollment process.
Thank you in advance for providing this valuable feedback. Please complete the survey by Monday, March 12th.

USD 308 Families and Staff,
More good news. Our community positive test rate dropped again last week to 7.0 percent from 9.1 percent. Our active Covid-19 cases have dropped to 69 in Reno County.
Keep up the good work. Masks, clean hands and social distancing make a major difference. If you have access to a vaccination, we would encourage you to consider taking it.
The joint effort of the Reno County Health Department, the Medicine Shoppe and local schools vaccinated about 800 faculty and staff of all public and private schools in Reno County on Sunday. School staff members who were unable to receive this vaccine should contact the Reno County Health Department, Hutchinson Clinic, Prairie Star Health Center, Dillon’s pharmacies or The Medicine Shoppe for a vaccine.
To learn about the current vaccines available or to find out information regarding the phase of vaccinations we are in and how to sign up, visit the Reno County web page https://www.renogov.org/741/COVID-19
