With the recent school shooting in Connecticut every school district across the nation is reviewing their school safety and security plans.  While Hay Springs and Hay Springs Public Schools is a very safe community and school, precautions still need to be taken to address safety.

Our Board of Education recently reviewed our school safety measures.  Beginning immediately, all exterior doors will be locked at all times throughout the school day.  The main office door is the only entrance into the building. Use front entrance only: We ask all visitors and parents use the front entrance only.  Please do not knock or seek entrance into other school doors.  Students and staff have been instructed not to allow entrance into the building except through the front office door. We have moved the office secretary’s desk to allow her direct vision of the front door.

Hunter’s Safety Course has been scheduled for February 2nd, 9th, 16th, and 23rd at the new Hay Springs Fire Hall.  To sign up call  1-308-763-2940 ( NE Game and Parks)

Brochure

Nebraska is a national leader in providing early intervention services for infants and toddlers with disabilities. Thousands of children and their families have benefited from the state’s early intervention program, known as the Early Development Network.

How can the Early Development Network help?
The Early Development Network provides services and supports that are designed based on the needs of children birth to age three and their families with the belief that parents know what is best for their families. These services are designed to act on what families think is important for their child and family. Friendly, supportive people who listen to and respect families staff the Network. These people can connect families with other families who have had similar experiences.

The goal of the Early Development Network is to provide coordinated services for Nebraska families as conveniently as possible. The program helps families to understand their child’s disability and provides assistance in dealing with situations that interfere with the child’s development. Families may choose a particular service or all services. Families also may refuse services at any time.

How do I find out if a child is eligible?
The Early Development Network serves children from birth to age three and their families. A child is eligible for Early Development Network services if he or she is not developing typically, or has been diagnosed with a health condition that will affect his or her development.  Identifying such delays or disabilities usually involves both the family and a team of professionals.

If there are concerns that a child is behind in his or her development, people are encouraged to call the Chadron office at 1-308-747-2405 or 1-800-717-1231. Referrals are taken year-round from anyone with concerns, including parents, childcare providers, and others who have obtained the permission of the parents.
