October 27th – Wear your shirt backwards- Turn your back to drugs!
October 28th – Wear red to show you are drug free
October 29th – Drugs are scary! Wear your halloween attire and change into your Halloween costume after specials.
Due to the increase in the number of positive COVID-19 cases in the Panhandle area, Sheridan County, and our Hay Springs community, we are making the following recommendations:
As we attempt to complete our sports seasons we are asking fans to please respect the Hay Springs School request as to the WEARING OF MASKS WHEN ATTENDING SCHOOL EVENTS. As we move into district play fans will be required to wear a mask as a directive from the NSAA.
We may also be requesting parent’s support in getting student athletes to and from games to limit the time they spend in other communities.
Finally, a HUGE THANK YOU to our parents for your continued support in monitoring your children’s health before sending them to school. We encourage you to PLEASE continue to do so by monitoring your child’s temperature and if they are ILL KEEP THEM HOME.

Hay Springs Public School staff members have the opportunity to participate in a wellness program sponsored by Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Nebraska. The wellness program encourages participants to track healthy behaviors through quarterly and monthly challenges. Members who complete the challenges are then entered into a drawing for a $25 gift card. As part of this wellness program, Hay Springs also participates in the extra incentive program, ELEVATE. ELEVATE includes a financial incentive for both the employee and the wellness group. If employees meet all the requirements for the ELEVATE program, they will receive a $150 gift card. If 50% of the members meet the requirements, then the wellness program will receive a $5000 grant to be used for employee health and wellness for the 2020/2021 school year. We just wrapped up our ELEVATE fiscal year, and are patiently waiting for the announcement that we received the grant. The Wellness Team has several ideas on how to use the grant to enhance employee wellness. We will share those plans when they have been finalized.
