August 2024

Mules families, welcome back to the new school year!  A quick introduction, my name is Kathy Butler and I am starting my twelfth year with the Lone Jack C6 School District.  My fifth year as superintendent.  I am thrilled to begin to greet students and families returning or joining us for the first time.  Our schools are not just buildings.  Our schools are vibrant communities where we hope to inspire curiosity, creativity, learning and success however that is defined by any individual student.

This year, you will see new construction of our facilities.  The district athletic field was completed over the summer and is amazingly beautiful.  Our soccer, football, band and cheer teams all will have a home competition space to be proud of!  We hope our community also benefits from the improvements made in our outdoor activities space.  September 9th, we will break ground on the voter approved multipurpose building.  This building will house fine arts performances, meeting options and an auxiliary gymnasium.  Please note, the construction will take twelve months, so there will be adjustments to traffic patterns during the school day and at our larger activities for the next year.

Our “building” is so much more than our environment this year.  I have goals to BUILD throughout the district with “B” better relationships, “U” understanding each other, “I” innovation and inspiration, “L” learning, of course, and “D” development of our adults to continue to strengthen our abilities to inspire and facilitate growth for our students.

Students, families, staff and community, we are here for you.  Your involvement is key to every students’ success.  Thank you for continued trust in us as we strive to provide a safe, supportive and engaging school experience for Lone Jack children.  As we get ready for this new academic year, let us all commit to working together with kindness, respect and a shared goal of inspiring excellence.  It takes ALL OF US for ALL OUR KIDS.  Here’s to a year filled with learning, growth and efforts to empower our students to be responsible, future-ready citizens!  Please communicate with us as needed.  See everyone soon!
