4/16/2025 The ladies in the office will be at the school from 4:00-6:00 to help anyone that needs help with enrollment for the 2025-2026 school year. We have a little over 50% of our students who have completed the enrollment. Our goal is to get all of our students enrolled by the end of the early enrollment window.
A couple of important reminders:
No school on Friday, April 4th.
School registration for the 2025-26 school year begins Monday, April 7th through April 25th.
All families attending USD 457 must complete registration. Please visit Julie and Shannon in the main office for assistance.
If your child attends Georgia Matthews but lives outside our boundary, you may request to attend our school during registration. Spots are limited and will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. All Forms are available at Georgia Matthews.
Our building is nearly full, so we encourage you to register as soon as possible to secure a spot.
Thank you!
Here is a learning opportunity from KU Med for parents who have children with Autism or other significant disabilities with behavior-related concerns. This training is being held during our KU Med Outreach Clinic at Sienna Medical in Garden City on April 10. This is an excellent opportunity to have KU Med provide this training for families here in our community.
Georgia Matthews-with the wind and rain we will be dismissing the kids from inside the building again at the end of the day.
