Those not watching the games or causing
disruptions will be asked to leave and not
return. Students must have attended school
that day and be in “good standing” to attend
the game. This policy does not apply for away
games or KSHSAA sponsored events
(regional, sub-state, etc.).

more due to inclement weather, we always
notify the following stations: WIBW-TV, KSNTTV, KOFO-1220 AM Radio, KVOE-1400 AM

These same stations are also notified if school

from parents if there is somewhere (other than
home) you wish your child to be sent if school
is dismissed early. Also, School OutReach will
call and notify parents about school closings. If
your phone number has changed, please notify
the high school office at (785) 549-3313.
