USD 440 is launching a new mobile app to help
students, parents, and community members know
what is happening on campus from their phones.
Most families use their phones as a primary means of
communication, so we've created an app that is
custom-built to your school for smartphones. On the
app, your students, parents, and community can read
the latest announcements, locate staff contact
information, review upcoming events, and find
important documents. The USD 440 app is available
to download free from the Apple App Store or the
Google Play store.
Three Main Benefits:
1.Stay up-to-date with school announcements
2. Learn about upcoming events
3. Access needed contact information quickly


Parents: Please be aware that the parking lot between buildings today will be full starting at 2:00 pm with buses from other schools. USD 440 is hosting our annual Conrad Nightengale Track Meet. Please take extra care when picking up students. THANKS!
