Text-A-Tip

Text-A-Tip is now an App! Students no longer need to remember key words or numbers. They can download the App, P3 Tips, for FREE and select Kearney Schools as their location. We will receive tips just as we had in the past.

Safety and Security Committee

A committee of KSD staff and community members meet for the purpose of discussing safety and security in our district. If you are interested in learning more about the committee, contact Resource Office, Adam Kirkland at kirklanda@ksdr1.net.
