At the beginning of the school year, grades 2-5 drew a picture to represent their favorite song. Every month until May, there will be a new grade up on the music wall and this month is 2nd grade. This little project helped me learn about the students and they were able to show their creative side. Great job 2nd grade!

Dear Stakeholders,
USD 398 is excited to announce our new library system, Follett Destiny, which was purchased using a $4000 grant from the Dollar General Literacy Foundation. This purchase allowed the district to upgrade the current outdated library software. With the upgrade comes the ability to have both students and parents look at books available at both buildings.
Parents and students can access the library books in one of two ways. The first way is to go to our website, USD398.net, and under District Resources is the link for Library Resources. This will take you directly to the webpage and you can choose the library you want to explore. The second way is to go to usd398.follettdestiny.com. This will take you to the same website that is linked on our webpage.
The district would like to thank the Dollar General Literacy Foundation for this opportunity. It will allow us to grow and promote our library capabilities. The district understands the importance of libraries in education and is excited for the possibilities this grant will provide.

Due to predicted worsening weather conditions over night, USD #398 will not have school on Tuesday, January 9, 2024. All evening activities ae cancelled. Please stay safe and warm.
