Vacation
Labor Day is coming up, which means vacation time. We highly recommend taking vacations during these scheduled days off from school. Why? Because regular school attendance is important to the growth and learning of our students. When students are in school, they receive the full academic and faith experience and don't fall behind.
The calendar below can help you plan your family vacation, but if you must be gone during scheduled school days, please reach out to the office so we are aware and to your child(ren)'s teacher(s) so they can plan for student absences.

A note from GONE LOGO for our parents:
The uniform sale is tomorrow and many families stop by our store on uniform day! Unfortunately, the timing isn't the best as they are now working on our street for seal coating. Just a note that if you do come tomorrow for uniform shopping, we ARE fully stocked and open for business, but you will likely need to park either down the street in the Mall parking lot and walk over, or in the front Thirsty's lot and walk behind the restaurant to us!
If this is a hassle for you, you can come any other day when it's more convenient as well! Thank you, and we look forward to helping you with your uniform needs soon!
Gone Logo is located at 2717 Plaza Ave. in Hays and open 9-5 Mon-Fri.
