It was great seeing everyone at the Candy Cane Lane event last night.
Dear Families,
Explorer was recognized this year as a National Showcase School for Capturing Kids Hearts, a program that emphasizes building strong, positive relationships among students, staff, and parents, fostering an environment where every child feels valued and connected. We believe in the power of these connections to enhance the overall educational experience for our students. To maintain this recognition, we invite you to complete a brief parent survey by December 15th. Your feedback is crucial.

Thank you for your help!

As we celebrate National Special Education Day, we have a lot of things to be excited about as we enter our third year of being the host district in the Goddard Special Education Cooperative. Our cooperative serves 1,732 students in 21 school buildings within the communities of Goddard, Clearwater, Conway Springs, and Cheney. Our cooperative also serves students with disabilities who attend St. Elizabeth Ann Seton in Wichita, Holy Spirit in Goddard, St. Joseph in Conway Springs, and St. Peter in Schulte. Our staff in these communities do an incredible job of working with all students regardless of their disability. They define the mission of our cooperative, that all students can learn together in a school community and participate meaningfully via inclusive education systems that meet the unique needs of all students.
For those who have children enrolled in the after school art class:

The 3rd grade music program last night was fantastic. The kids did a great job, so many were dressed up and the ones with speaking parts and solos did an amazing job. Thanks, Ms. Marsh and all of the teachers and staff members who helped organize and practice all week and then came to watch last night.
Explorer Elementary School would like to extend our gratitude to all veterans on this Veterans Day. Your courage and sacrifice inspire us and we would like to honor your service and dedication to our nation.
