Talk:Shawnee Mission USD 512

message: Please note, the current SMSD logo is outdated--the district approved a new logo starting with the 2005-2006 school year.  Unfortunately, I don't have a copy handy, but there should be something usable under fair use at www.smsd.org.
Also, there appears to be a conflict in the alumni section for Shawnee Mission East--John Carmack appears listed, although his own personal page says that he did not attend Shawnee Mission East.  Would be nice if someone could find a source verifying one or the other (I did a quick search without success).

message: '79 may not have been the first year for Northman; it could have been as early as '77, but no earlier.  The '79 Indian has photos of the winners, but '77 & '78 do not.  Far from negative, there was resistance to changing the name from BMOC.
Is Calvin Trillin (writer, humorist, NY food critic) an alumnus of SMN?  I believe I have read that somewhere, but can't confirm it.  Newell Post 04:28, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

message: There isn't a specific source, but it is monitered and checked by the student and teacher population in the School ditrict, so it's factual as far as any one knows. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.52.216.253 (talk • contribs)   (UTC 20:30, 3 October 2006)

message: Not a matter of life or death.  It's just that I'm from the class of 2004, and I still take pride in wearing black and gold.  I tried to add a logo back a year or so, and Wikipedia deleted it several times.  Do you think there's a way that you could upload the Viking seal?  I would really appreciate it.

message: The other SMN sections had some fairly questionable grammar, etc, but the tradition section is in DIRE need of some help. "Population" is a tradition? This section would be more aptly named "Trivia," which WP discourages. I'd like to see someone work this into the text, and please consult your English textbooks while you're at it! 
Also, is any of this *verifiable*? Information from students/staff is heresay and/or anecdotal and certainly not considered factual according to WP policy. 
Out of curiosity, what's the graduation rate? I seem to remember it not being very high back in my day, but then again it's been awhile... Jett rink 18:05, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

message: I've Recently made a few edits and made a list of feeder patterns for each of the high schools (Made possible through the usages of SMSD's School Finder, similer to what you would find on wikipedia's page on the neighboring blue valley school district) and eliminated the outdated information, and added a bit extra facts  and alumi (Shawnee Mission West's Tyler Lawrence) to boot, and I think the feeder patterns are pretty much accurate, but ill double-check just to be sure.  So, what do u guys think? By the way, I want to add more info to the district's page so would u guys think about adding some more or helping/telling me were i would find such info to be able to meet wikipedia's quality standerds as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.31.241.4 (talk) 01:37, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

message: Why does West Antioch Elementary School keep getting removed from the article? It was an elementary school that was closed in 2004. See . I even had this citation in previously, but it was still removed. Srry about that, i must've been deleting that by accident when i was reorganizing the school's page, I re added that into the new Former Elementary Schools Section of the page. By the way, the citations on were i got the info about the feeder pattern, and the former seperate districts that made up of smsd were from the SMSD School Attendance Boundaries of 2008-2009, and from two other maps that i requested from the district itself, respectively. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Klubbit (talk • contribs) 22:06, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
