The English Language Arts review team has been hard at work examining new reading PreK-12 curriculum resources. The team recommended Amplify CKLA & Amplify ELA for our PreK-5th grade levels and McGraw-Hill StudySync for 9th-12th grades to the Board of Education at Monday's meeting. *6th-8th grades currently have Amplify ELA.
If you are interested in viewing any of these materials, please contact our Director of Student Learning, Marcie Carr. She is available by email at mcarr@usd440.com or by phone at 316-835-2641 via the district office extension.
Resources will be available through April 7th, 2024.
The 6th graders had a special chance to visit the preschool and read stories with the younger children. We always enjoy seeing our older students interact with the little ones. It is a wonderful collaboration.

We invite our community members to attend any of the three events mentioned below. Your valuable feedback will help the steering committee and the Board of Education. These events will also give you a chance to learn more about the progress made so far on the potential bond initiative at Halstead-Bentley USD 440 School District. We eagerly anticipate your presence at one of these events. #440Proud
Due to the inclement weather, Unified School District 440 will be closed on Tuesday January 16th.
Even with the use of additives, the district had challenges operating part of its bus fleet on Friday due to the frigid temperatures. We know that the temperatures tomorrow are going to be colder and the fleet has been sitting all weekend in extremely low temperatures. Out of concern for the ability to operate our busses as well as the safety of both our bus riders and those who have to walk to school, we have made the determination that we will not be in session.
We understand that this winter has already presented a number of days off from school, which in return poses challenges for many of our parents to find safe supervision for their students. We hope that providing this information earlier will allow those parents additional time to make the appropriate arrangements.
We also wanted to inform you that we have a number of days built in for inclement weather. We often get the question, will our snow and inclement weather days impact the calendar or require us to make up days? At this point we do not have concerns and if that were to change we would make sure that we communicate with families well in advance.
Please stay safe and warm. We are looking forward to the warmer days ahead!
Due to road conditions for our bus routes and young drivers, Halstead-Bentley Schools will be closed January 10th. Stay safe and warm.
