The local Spelling Bees are just a few weeks away! If your child would like to participate, the first thing s/he needs to to is download the "Word Club" app. This is important because your child can study and play spelling and vocabulary games with all 450 words from the 2024 School Spelling Bee Study List - and it's FREE! The second step is for your child to let his/her teacher know that he/she would like to participate in the Spelling Bee.
The Hugoton Sr. Spelling Bee is for 6th-8th grade students and will be held in the Hugoton Elementary School gym on Wednesday, January 17, 2024 at 1:00.

This is for parents of kids of any age. The cost is $70 for the materials and six weeks of instruction. An informational flyer is linked below.

Re: Budget Publication in Hugoton Hermes
In the paper that will come out today or tomorrow, the published USD 210 budget will appear. By law, the budget has to be published at least 10 days before the budget hearing. The USD 210 Budget Hearing is scheduled for September 11, 2023. Since the paper is only published weekly, a budget had to be submitted to the paper, prior to the bond election. This publication had to reflect a bond and interest mill rate as if the election had passed. Had this not been done, the district would not have been able to collect enough money to pay the proposed bond.
Since the bond question was rejected, the USD 210 budget will be adjusted at the September 11th Board meeting. The bond and interest mill rate will be reduced to cover the final 2008 bond payment next September. This will result in a decline in overall mills collected by USD 210, and a tax decrease for USD 210 patrons.
