Atchison County schools post weekly announcements for July 13-19

Atchison County Community Schools used its official Facebook page to post a weekly announcements bulletin for July 13 through July 19, and the update pointed families to Cub Football and Cub Cheer sign-ups set for the next night. The district’s routine summer post kept one central place for dates and reminders while school was out, a useful step in a countywide system that serves families across Atchison County and Effingham, Kansas.

The district identifies itself as USD 377 on its official website, where it also maintains a dedicated weekly announcements page, a 2026-27 school calendar page and back-to-school resources for the coming year. Those pages give families a non-social-media way to follow the same basic information that appears in the district’s Facebook feed, which the district has used as a public communication hub during the summer break.

That matters in a rural district where parents, students and staff may not all rely on the same platform. The Facebook page listing showed 3,720 likes and 120 people talking about it in one search result, underscoring how widely the district is using the page to reach the community. For families in Atchison County, the weekly bulletin format can help keep registration deadlines, extracurricular sign-ups, office updates and calendar shifts in one place instead of scattered across multiple notices.

The summer schedule is already taking shape around the 2026-27 school year. The USD 377 Board of Education approved the school calendar at its Jan. 15 meeting, and the board also held an organizational meeting on July 8, according to the district website. With those pieces in place, the weekly announcements serve as a bridge between summer and fall, giving parents a steady place to check for school logistics before the first day back.
