Comments Off on NSCAS Results and AQuESTT Classifications

The state released NSCAS results and AQuESTT classifications last week. I am pleased to report that all Hay Springs schools and the district earned the classification of Great. This is a reflection on the hard work of our students, teachers and families. I have enclosed links from each school for your reference.

Nebraska SMART

Comments Off on Nebraska SMART

Nebraska SMART is a free virtual tutoring program for students in grades K-12. Teacher education candidates from Chadron State, Peru State, and Wayne State Colleges remotely tutor students in Educational Service Units 1, 4, and 13 through an online tutoring platform. This program is made possible by a Nebraska Department of Education grant awarded to the Nebraska State College System to launch a rural tutoring program.

The Nebraska SMART Video can be viewed for more information: https://youtu.be/fSd1-uvSJHQ

Parents who wish to gain access to tutoring must register their child(ren) by visiting: http://www.nscs.edu/nebraskasmart

Parents must first create an account and register their child(ren). Once parents have created their account and added their child(ren), the student (or parent on their behalf) can schedule a tutoring appointment. Students can also join on-demand tutoring to be connected with the next available Tutor.

The Parent Guide(https://www.nscs.edu/_resources/e30d:s88r3a-2a3/files/77108154zc714d33b/_fn/Nebraska%20SMART%20Parent%20Guide.pdf) provides steps for parents to register their child(ren), schedule a session, request on-demand tutoring, and more.

Students should provide homework for which they wish to receive help or topics that they would like to cover. When connected to a Tutor, students (or parents on their behalf) can share files with their Tutor. It is recommended that students (or parents on their behalf) have saved their homework to their computer prior to connecting to a Tutor.

The Nebraska SMART tutoring platform can be accessed via a laptop, desktop, or Chromebook. Please note that smartphones and some tablets are not currently supported by this platform.  See below for Nebraska SMART’s technology requirements.

*The Nebraska SMART tutoring platform is not affiliated with Hay Springs Public Schools.

Calendar Change For Tuesday, November 26th

Comments Off on Calendar Change For Tuesday, November 26th

Hay Springs Public Schools will be dismissing all students, K-12 at 12:05 p.m. on November, 26th. We will be serving lunch to our elementary students in the cafeteria, and the 6th through 12 grade students will have a grab and go lunch option. All teachers will be attending the data retreat that afternoon at the school.

Preschool will not meet on November 26th.

The reason for this change is that the school district had scheduled a data retreat with all teachers in October and that retreat has been rescheduled twice due to scheduling issues and  illness within the school.

We apologize for any inconvenience this schedule change may cause. I hope this early release will allow some families to be able to start travel plans for the Thanksgiving Holiday a little earlier.
