If your child will be five years old on or before August 31, 2025, the first step to enrolling is completing Kindergarten Intent to Enroll between April 21-30, 2025. 

The 2025-2026 school year calendar is now available! Please note, each elementary school and Derby High School will begin their school day five minutes earlier next year.

Derby Public Schools is excited to host its 5th STEMKAMP in June! This engaging, hands-on camp will take place June 23-26, 2025, from 9AM-3PM daily at Derby North Middle School, located at 3100 N Rock Rd in Derby. 

Join Derby Hills for Skate Night at Roller City! A portion of proceeds are donated to benefit the school. This event is the perfect affordable, family-friendly event as it only costs $5 for kids and parents get in free.

The Battle of the Books is a voluntary reading program for 3rd-5th graders, where students form teams of 4-6 to read from a curated list of 28 books and compete in trivia-style contests based on the books.

Derby Hills Elementary is taking sign-ups for Watch D.O.G.S. (Dads Of Great Students). We invite fathers, grandfathers, uncles, or other father figures to volunteer at least one day at their child's/student’s school during the school year to provide positive male role models for students.

The Derby Hills Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) works together to support our teacher and student population and encourage family engagement within the school and community. 

We take the safety of our students seriously. Please review our Drop Off/Pick Up Procedures to ensure a safe, effective drop off and pick up process. 

The Kansas School Safety Hotline, 1 (877) 626-8203, can be used to anonymously report any potential school violence. The Kansas School Safety Hotline is there for you 24 hours per day, 365 days per year.

Virtual Backpack, is a great way to stay informed and up-to-date with the happenings at your child's school.

All schools also utilize a visitor management system, called SafeVisitor, to enhance school entrance security, streamline the check-in process and help us to be aware of everyone in our schools.
