This week's Activities

🌅 Senior Sunrise — Class of 2027 Our seniors gathered early on the first day of school to watch the sunrise together and begin their final year at MdCV. It is hard to believe how quickly these students are becoming capable young adults. They are a truly special group, and I am proud of who they are and excited to see what they accomplish this year. Seniors, enjoy every moment, take care of one another, lead by example, and make this year count. Before we know it, the sun will set on your time at MdCV—but the impact you leave behind will continue to shine long after. As you step into your future, carry MdCV with you in all you do. We know you will be successful in all that you do because you are all Trojans, and Trojans never quit! 💙🧡

💙 MdCV FAMILIES: PLEASE TAKE A FEW MINUTES TO LEARN ABOUT THE JONES FOUNDATION

Families in our community have access to a remarkable resource that could make a meaningful difference in their children’s health and education.

The Jones Foundation offers financial assistance to eligible residents of Coffey, Lyon and Osage Counties. For children, assistance may be available for needs such as:

• Medical and hospital care
• Mental health and therapy services
• Dental care
• Eye examinations and corrective lenses
• Medically necessary orthodontics
• Special medical equipment
• Expenses associated with Type 1 diabetes

The Foundation also offers education assistance that may help eligible students with undergraduate tuition, fees and books.

Many families may not realize this assistance exists—or may assume they will not qualify. Please do not make that decision without learning more. Take a few minutes to read the attached flyer and explore the Foundation’s website. Eligibility is based on county residency and other program requirements, but this opportunity is absolutely worth investigating.

This remarkable support exists because the Jones family devoted its cattle-ranching fortune to improving the lives of children in Coffey, Lyon and Osage Counties. Learning about and using these programs is a wonderful way to honor that generous legacy.

Please read the attached flyer, share this information with other local families and visit:

https://jonesfdn.org/

Questions may be directed to the Jones Foundation at 620-342-1714.

An opportunity like this can be life-changing for a child or student—please help us make sure every eligible MdCV family knows about it.

We are looking for responsible, safety-minded individuals who enjoy serving students, families, and the MdCV community.

📚 JOIN THE MdCV TEAM AS A SUBSTITUTE TEACHER!

Marais des Cygnes Valley USD 456 is looking for dependable, caring substitute teachers to support our students and staff. Substitute teachers earn $130 per day and enjoy a flexible opportunity to make a meaningful difference in our local schools.

You may qualify for a Kansas Emergency Substitute License through one of two pathways:

🎓 College Credit Pathway
Applicants need at least 60 semester credit hours from a regionally accredited college or university. CEUs and clock hours do not count toward this requirement.

💻 Greenbush Training Pathway
Applicants who do not have 60 college credit hours may qualify with:

• A high school diploma
• Completion of the Greenbush Emergency Substitute Training Modules
• Verification of hire from a local school district
• A $60 license application fee
• A $57 fingerprint background-check fee

Complete the Greenbush training at:
https://plus.greenbush.org/

Applicants with a bachelor’s degree and completion of an approved teacher preparation program may qualify for a Standard Substitute License. A bachelor’s degree by itself does not meet the standard-license requirements.

Ready to help our students learn and succeed? Apply at the MdCV District Office:

📍 105 SW Main St
Melvern, KS 66510

📞 785-549-3521

🚌 Trojan Families—School Starts Soon! 💙🧡 As we welcome our students back to MdCV, let’s all do our part to keep them safe. Please slow down, stay alert, and watch carefully for school buses and children walking to and from their bus stops. Remember: 🛑 Stop when a school bus has its red lights flashing and stop arm extended. 👀 Watch for students crossing the road—they may be difficult to see. 📵 Put distractions away and stay focused behind the wheel. ❤️ A few extra seconds of patience can save a life. The safety of our students is everyone’s responsibility. Thank you for helping make this a safe and successful school year for every Trojan! 🎥 Take a moment to watch this important school bus safety video: https://youtu.be/EPe-gNuYYu4?is=IjqS5trKXojkx-dz Three Communities.
