Summer weights update - Today was our lowest attendance day so far (though still better than any day last summer), which I take responsibility for not reminding people that today was our first day back from the moratorium. Here is a reminder that we have 18 days left of summer weights! Please make it here or get your kids here for the rest of the summer. We have been doing such a great job so far! I will be sending updates to parents on each athletes attendance and how many days they need to be at to ensure they hit their 80, 90, or 100% marks. Another reminder that I am still running a make-up workout on every Friday at 9am for any days you have to miss. Thank you all for your commitment to improvement this summer! Go Kats! - Coach Bauman

An Update on the Little Kats Childcare Center! 🐾
The excitement is growing as we prepare to open the Little Kats Childcare Center! We are in the final stages of preparing our space and are nearly ready to welcome our youngest learners.
At this time, we are waiting on a few remaining items to be installed and for required visits and approvals from state agencies. Once those review dates are scheduled, we anticipate being in a short window before opening our doors.
The interview and hiring process for childcare staff will begin as soon as we receive the dates for the state reviews. We will also share enrollment information and our anticipated opening timeline as soon as it becomes available.
Thank you for your patience, support, and understanding as we work through this exciting new opportunity to serve our community. We can't wait to provide a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for our youngest community members and future Chase Kats!
Stay tuned for more updates!

📚✈️ Make Memories, Not Missed Days! ❤️💙

At USD 401 Chase-Raymond, we know that family time creates lifelong memories. Vacations, reunions, and special adventures are important—and we encourage families to enjoy those experiences whenever possible.

One of the best ways to balance family time with academic success is to plan trips during our scheduled school breaks. Our school calendar includes several opportunities throughout the year where students can enjoy extended weekends and breaks while missing little or no instructional time.

Every school day matters. Daily attendance helps students build strong academic skills, maintain friendships, participate in hands-on learning, and stay connected with their teachers. Missing just a few days each month can add up quickly and make it harder for students to keep pace with classroom learning.

Our new attendance graphic highlights the best opportunities for planning family travel during the 2026–2027 school year. From Labor Day weekend and Thanksgiving Break to Winter Break and Spring Break, there are several built-in opportunities to create unforgettable family memories without sacrificing valuable learning time.

Thank you for partnering with us to make attendance a priority while also supporting meaningful family experiences. Together, we can help every student succeed—one school day at a time.

Take a look at the graphic, start planning your next family adventure, and let's make the 2026–2027 school year one filled with both incredible memories and excellent attendance!
