By this time next week, students of every grade level will be ALL IN our buildings, starting the 2024-2025 school year.
The Shawnee Mission School District is excited to start a new year.
In the days prior to students returning, educators have been hard at work in every building getting ready. Teachers and non-teaching staff were attending professional development sessions and setting up classrooms. This year, the SMSD was proud to welcome more than 200 new teachers to Shawnee Mission as it held New Team Member Academy. This three-day event helps new educators and team members become familiar with the district, school communities, best practices, and the colleagues and teammates they will work with throughout the year.
Shawnee Mission begins this new school year with a recently updated Strategic Plan. All educators, in both teaching and non-teaching roles, will be supporting the district objective that each student will have a personalized learning plan that will prepare them for college and careers, with the interpersonal skills they need for life success.
We are One Shawnee Mission and We are ALL IN!
