Dear USD 308 Parents:
No school for USD 308 on Tuesday, January 7.
As I drove around town and our schools this afternoon, it is still clear that we are contending with a stubborn layer of ice on all sidewalks, driveways, and roadways in and around our schools. Ensuring your child or children’s safe return to school is very important to me; therefore, I am cancelling school for Tuesday. Stay safe and warm,
Dr. Johnson

Dear USD 308 Community Members,
Over the past two weeks, the District has been conducting community meetings to gather public input regarding a master facilities plan that meets the current and future needs of the USD 308 community. At this point in the process, we are asking for your input by completing a brief anonymous survey.
The survey is being managed by ExcellenceK12, a company that works with school districts on community research. It should take you 3 to 5 minutes to complete.
Please note, the survey can only be taken once per device (laptop, tablet, etc.). Also, if you begin the survey and then exit before you have completed it, the system will not let you return later. All your answers will be anonymous. If you completed a survey following a community event, this is a separate survey, and we ask you to please take a moment to complete this one in addition.
USD 308 Parents and Staff have been surveyed separately.
Link to the survey here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/HutchinsonPublicSchoolsCommunitySurvey2024
The survey will close Tuesday, April 23rd at 11:59pm.
We look forward to hearing from you!


Happy National School Counseling Week! School counselors support students in and out of the classroom to reach their academic and well-being goals. This week, reach out and thank your school counselors for all they do! #NSCW24


USD 308 is cancelling school for Wednesday, January 10.
As winter weather conditions persist, the accumulation of snow in school parking lots has created challenging and potentially hazardous conditions, raising concerns for safe vehicle navigation during drop-off and pick-up times. There are additional power outages at schools in which we are working to resolve.
The additional day will allow USD 308 maintenance crews to clear lots and sidewalks in preparation for parent-teacher conferences on Thursday. Please stay safe and warm. We look forward to seeing parents on Thursday and students on Tuesday, January 16 when school resumes.
Thursday, January 11 – No school due to Parent-Teacher Conferences
Friday, January 12 – No School
Monday, January 15 – No School, Martin Luther King Holiday


Dear Salthawk Family, USD 308 will NOT be in session tomorrow, Tuesday, January 9th due to the impending weather forecast. The district will be closed. Stay warm and stay safe!
