Welcome to the new KSDEweekly newsletter, your weekly one-stop source for KSDE news and information. Our goal for this newsletter is to foster community within our profession and to reduce the number of messages you receive from KSDE on a daily basis, by bundling this information into one weekly resource.

Each Thursday, you can expect to receive the latest information organized around reporting and operations, assessments and accountability, standards and instruction, student health and nutrition, and upcoming events, trainings and recognition opportunities. Additionally, we’ll bring you feature articles highlighting exceptional district and school innovative practices, and student successes – all designed to keep you connected across all areas of Kansas education.

Your days are busy enough. You should be able to focus on the students of Kansas, not trying to track down the latest KSDE news or guidance. All newsletter articles will reside on the KSDE website, organized by date and subject category, so you can quickly access all information shared at any time that’s convenient for you.

We hope you will find this new resource valuable, and we encourage you to reach out to us at ksdeweekly@ksde.org to share feedback about the newsletter and any innovative activities happening within your districts and schools.

Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication to the children of Kansas. We hope you have a wonderful school year!
