No Four-Day School Week for CPS

Dear Chadron Public Schools Community,

It has come to our attention that there is a rumor circulating about Chadron Public Schools potentially moving to a four-day school week. We want to assure you that this rumor is not accurate. Currently, there are no plans or discussions about changing our school week from five days to four.

Our top priority is to provide a consistent, high-quality educational experience for our students, and maintaining our current five-day school week remains integral to that mission. Any significant changes to our school schedule would involve careful consideration and thorough analysis to ensure they align with the needs of our students and families.  Preliminary research shows that elementary-age students do not benefit from a four-day week and eventually they fall behind.

If there are any future discussions on this topic, we will communicate openly with you and keep you informed. We appreciate your support and understanding, and we encourage everyone to reach out to the school administration with any questions or concerns.

Thank you for your continued commitment to Chadron Public Schools.

Nebraska Department of Education Releases 2022-23 State Test and Classification Data

Chadron Public Schools has regularly conducted surveys to analyze stakeholder feedback and identify strengths and possible areas for growth. This past spring we conducted surveys as part of our accreditation process.  The survey results from this year provide valuable insights into various aspects of the school district.

Survey results for 2023 indicate a positive environment in the district. Students feel the school district has caring and qualified teachers who take an interest in their education. Educators feel encouraged in their roles and they strive for inclusivity and collaboration while making students feel safe and respected. Families feel respected by the school district and expressed positive perspectives on various aspects of their child's school experience. Surveys showed unity as a district strength and stakeholders felt like they were part of a community dedicated to helping all students succeed.

There were some opportunities for growth noted such as increasing personalized learning experiences, expanding the use of digital tools, and continuing to increase collaboration and feedback with stakeholders when possible.
