On the third day of National School Counseling week our school counselors reflected on what they need in order to thrive in their positions. Our school social workers, school psychologists, and school counselors are intrinsically motivated by the growth of our students and sense of community that being a part of the Lansing team and community provides.
It’s Day 2 of National School Counseling Week! Today’s theme encourages counselors to reflect on how they know their students are thriving.
At USD 469, our school counselors, social workers, and school psychologists are dedicated to supporting the success and well-being of our Lansing Lions—both inside and outside the classroom. But what does student success really look like?
Our Lansing School Counselors know their students are thriving when they are:
🦁 Persevering through challenges
🦁 At their best, even on tough days
🦁 Excited about learning and growth
🦁 Achieving their goals, big and small
🦁 Advocating for themselves and others
Thank you to our incredible counseling team for fostering an environment where students can truly thrive!

Need help buying food for your children when school is out for summer?
Learn how the Kansas SUN Bucks program can help you!
SUN Bucks, also known as Summer EBT, is a program to help families buy food for their school-aged children during the summer. Families will get a one-time benefit of $120 per year for each eligible child to help buy groceries during the summer months. Children who get SUN Bucks can still participate in other summer meal programs. Receiving SUN Bucks will not affect children or families’ immigration status.
If a child’s household did not receive a letter from DCF in January 2025 regarding SUN Bucks eligibility, they can apply through the DCF self-service portal at dcfapp.kees.ks.gov beginning Monday, Jan. 27, 2025. Applications for 2025 SUN Bucks must be submitted no later than 5 p.m. on Aug. 29, 2025.
SUN Bucks benefits will be issued beginning in April 2025.

Due to the extremely cold temperatures this morning, several of our school buses are running behind schedule. To ensure your child’s safety and comfort, please wait to send your student out to the bus stop until the bus is visible. As a reminder, parents always have the option to keep their children home during severe weather conditions. If you choose to do so, please report your student’s absence to the school office. Here are a few additional tips to prepare for cold weather: Ensure students are dressed in warm layers, including hats, gloves, and scarves. Be cautious of icy conditions around bus stops and walking routes. Consider carpooling with neighbors or driving your child to school if the weather poses challenges. We appreciate your understanding and patience as we prioritize the safety of our students.
Lansing USD469 would like to remind families that there will be no school on Monday, January 20, 2025, in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. dedicated his life to advancing equality, justice, and opportunity for all. This day serves as an opportunity to reflect on his incredible contributions to our society.
We encourage families to use this time to explore Dr. King's work and legacy, whether by reading books about his life, participating in acts of service, or attending local events in his honor.
School will resume on Tuesday, January 21, 2025.
