Competing with other event for superintendents today, we're a small but mighty group for @swplains Supts Council this morning! Thanks to @KarenEBurrows @USD507 for stepping in to facilitate today's meeting!


Our offices are closed April 3 through 6th in observance of the Easter holiday. We'll reopen Tuesday, April 7 for regular office hours.

Happy April Fool's Day! Hope you don't find your stapler incased in jello or your phone handset in the ceiling today!

Inservice through the eyes of a @swplains consultant. It's a time to get to get together to share ideas, experiences and knowledge.

Enjoying this beautiful day with SWKS area counselors at Counselors Council today @swplains!
