Railer Families: This is a friendly reminder to make sure that you have completed the enrollment process for your student(s) if you haven’t already done so! Thank you to everyone that has already taken care of this. If your student is not enrolled they will not be able to attend school until that is finished. We are requesting that you complete this at your earliest convenience so we can have all of the class lists and schedules prepared for our first day of school that is approaching quickly. If you need any assistance please reach out to your school’s office staff. Thank you for your support!

Railers, here is a great opportunity if you want to take an EMT course. Please see the flyers. The cost for high school students is only any fees and textbooks required. This is a 12 credit hour course and is greatly reduced for high school students. Any non-high school students can take advantage of this as well since it is Kansas Promise Act eligible.
