We're excited to share an update on our USD 204 Strategic Plan progress!
The USD 204 five year Strategic Plan includes 54 initiatives designed to support students, staff, families, and our community! Guided by the expertise of the Kansas Association of School Boards (KASB), the Board of Education, eight students, and 20+ staff and community members worked together to identify priorities, gather input through surveys and committee meetings, and develop focused action plans.
This collaborative approach ensured the voices of students, families, staff, and the broader community were heard and reflected in the district’s goals. The process culminated in early 2026 with Board approval of the new plan. Find our Strategic Plan and progress dashboard on our website!
This school year, 28 initiatives are scheduled for implementation, and we're already making strong progress:
✅ 4 initiatives completed
⬛ 17 initiatives in progress
⬛ 7 initiatives scheduled to begin later this year
Q1 featured 22 active initiatives across all five strategic priorities:
🧡 Quality Instruction & Engagement
🖤 Safe & Supportive Learning Environment
🧡 People & Partnerships
🖤 Facilities & Infrastructure
🧡 Communications
Thank you to our students, staff, families, and community partners for helping move this important work forward. Over the next five weeks, we will highlight the progress here within each of the strategic priorities listed above, so stay tuned!

That’s a Wrap on Our First Band Concert of the Year!
Last night, our CMS Braves took the stage for their first band concert of the school year, and what a great night of music!
Our 6th grade band kicked things off, showing off what they’ve been learning and all their hard work. Then, our 7th and 8th grade bands took the stage and kept the music going with their performances!
We are so proud of all our student musicians and the time, practice, and dedication they put into preparing for this concert. A big thank-you to our band directors, Mr. Turley and Mr. Thomas, and families for supporting our Braves and helping make the night a success!
Way to go, Braves! Keep making great music!
