The alarm activated from the presence of smoke produced during the maintenance work. No fire was present, nor was also anyone injured.

USD 504 Oswego-Service Valley Storm Shelters
In light of the current COVID-19 Pandemic, we are concerned that there may be some confusion in regards to the school district's storm shelters. Please rest assured that even though the school buildings are currently closed to students and public, the shelters will remain open in the event of severe storms or tornados. However, we ask that you please be aware that all 3 shelters are opened by volunteers. When the alerts are broadcasted and sirens sound, the shelters will be open as soon as the volunteers are able to arrive on campus.
USO 504 has 3 storm shelter locations that are available to the public in the event of a severe storm or tornado during non-school hours of operation. During the school day, the shelters will be full of students and staff.
1. Neosho Heights Elementary (NeHi): 100 Oregon - Shelter is located on the northwest corner of the building. Look for the neon "OPEN" sign.
2. Oswego Jr.-Sr. High School (OJSHS): 1501 Tomahawk Trail - Shelter is located on the southwest corner of the building.
3. Service Valley Charter Academy (SVCA): 21102 Wallace Road - Shelter is located in the library building directly west of the main building.

Free Grab and Go Lunches Resume March 30
With the recent announcement of Kansas school buildings closing for the remainder of the 2019-20 school year, there have been some questions as to when students can retrieve their possessions from the Oswego-Service Valley school buildings.
USD 504 will be observing spring break as scheduled next week, March 23-27 and be open only to essential personnel with limited time in the building(s). On Monday, March 30th the schools will be open only for staff and administration to begin putting together a learning plan for the rest of the school year. This plan should be completed by April 6th and communicated to the students and parents/guardians of the students at that time. Oswego-Service Valley administrators and staff are working diligently on the structure of the plan. Please be patient as we all work through this unprecedented time.
It is important for everyone to continue to follow the health and safety guidelines set by the state and federal government. The district will be using these standards as a plan for continuing education and reopening the USD 504 buildings is made.
Yesterday, the Kansas State High School Activities Association (KSHSAA) cancelled all spring activities and festivals for the remainder of the 2019-2020 school year.
The removal of those items from the school calendar DOES NOT imply that events currently remaining on the calendar have not or will not be cancelled. Many events will need to be cancelled and those cancellations come from different sources.
We realize that this is a difficult time for everyone. Please be patient as decisions are made by the many organizations and entities involved.
